Why do ribs get indented after implant removal?

Asked By:misscarlett

I’m worried that when I go to remove my implants there will be an indentation in my ribs. I’ve heard from many women who’ve had this experience, in which their ribs are pushed down due to the implants. And after explanting they can see a dent in their breasts. Mine are under the muscle and too big for my frame. Is there a way to fill out this space when doing an explant that is NOT fat grafting? Will a lift help?
