Why do some people end up with a full upper pole/same as before implants after explanting and some people end up with little to no upper pole? Does it have to do with the elasticity of the skin or something else? Is it possible to do a lift with minimal scarring to restore upper pole if the sagging isn't very severe?

Answer: Upper pole fullness after implant removal The natural breast tissue typically has a tear drop shape and not much upper pole fullness. After removing a breast implant, the upper pole fullness returns to its natural appearance. Every patient is different and I would recommend having a consultation with an experienced board certified plastic surgeon.

Answer: Often depends how you started out Unfortunately only an implant or fat grafting can give long lasting fullness to the upper pole . A lift may appear to until the swelling goes down . After explantation a women is left with whatever upper pole tissue she started with , or less ,since the tissues have dropped and thinned . You are correct that skin tone and elasticity are also part of the equation.
