AutoAugmentation after explant with capsulectomy? (Photo)

January 23, 2020
Asked By:Kathy101 in San Francisco, California

I'm having my 450 CC saline breast implants removed with capsulectomy & will also have a lift however my DR said looking at mammograms I'm about 90% implants so not much tissue. I was a B cup before implants but I'm now 10 pounds lighter then when I got them 24 years ago with older skin.I have been reading about autoaugmentation where they use the skin to build the breast, is that something that would work for me. I'm afraid to be flat & hearing so many FT Horror stories lately of fat necrosis.
