If I get an implant removal, would getting a fat grafting/transfer help with any of the loose skin? (Photo)

Asked By:mysticwolf4 in San Jose, CA

Prior to getting breast augmentation, I had very small breasts. I got them done when I was about 21 and I am now 27. Thinking about taking them out but I am worried about the skin being very loose or losing some of my breast tissue in the process of explant. And was hoping a fat transfer would help? I have also gained about 20lbs since my breast augmentation. I was only 100 lbs when getting them done and now I weigh 125. I am hoping my breast tissue is more now.
