Should I remove 15 year old silicone implants? If I do, will my breast be flat and stretched out? (photos)

Asked By:skygirl0737 in Saint Petersburg, FL

I’m 55 years old, 5’7, 139lbs and have had silicone implants for about 15 years. When I originally got them I weighed less and they were a 32 C. I was just measured and I am 32 DDD. I think maybe this is too big for my frame. I would like to have them removed but I’m afraid my breast would look terrible with all the excess stretched skin . I was originally a size A, would I become a size A again? Any thoughts or suggestions? Thank you
