How dramatically will explanting affect my breasts?

Phoebe McGee
I had my implants in around 11 years ago when I was like 22 or 23. I had a very good, full breast profile, but one was around 125 cc smaller. Got 150cc and 250cc saline implants that have since gotten mild contracture. I’m unsure what to expect when they’re removed. Deflation? Misshapen? Were the implants likely not large enough to be too concerned? Will they change shape after recovery? I went from around 34B to 34C.
