After explant, can the empty pocket underneath the breast be left alone so that breast tissue may fill it in?

Asked By:Gotmyboobiesback in Salt Lake City, UT

When I had my breast augmentation many years ago, my inframammary fold was lowered to create the pocket for the implant. I am now having explant and capsulectomy. I like how low the fold is now and do not want my breasts to try and take back the original inframammary fold which is much higher. By leaving the lower pocket only, alone (not attempting to close it like with the top half of the breast) can the breast fat and breast tissue naturally, over time, fill in the pocket where the implant was?
