Breast implant removal of over the muscle subglandular high profile 300CC A to D cup with capsulectomy, no lift. Will this reduce the amount of original breast tissue? Do large implants over the muscle subglandular placement wear away original breast tissue? Does cauterization reduce the amount of original breast tissue?
Answer: Breast implant removal Over time breast tissue will thin and stretch and loose volume and this happens even when you have breast implants. Removing the capsule, cauterization and any cutting results unfortunately in tissue loss. So you will be smaller when the implants and capsules are removed . It is impossible to say how much smaller than your original size because it depends on your weight as well

Answer: Not that much Some tissue may be removed however it won’t make a significant difference in your breast size. However, your breast shape will most likely be different since the tissues will have stretched out a bit.

Answer: Some volume may be lost Dear BAquestion23 thank you for your question. During a total capsulectomy, there may be a slight loss of glandular tissue, but it's typically not significant. However, large implants can lead to atrophy of the mammary gland over time. Therefore, after explantation, the final volume of the breast may be smaller than it was prior to implant placement.

Answer: Does breast implant removal reduce breast tissue? Hello @BAquestions23, Thank you for your question. Sometimes, breast implant removal can result in alterations to the chest wall or breast tissue, such as indentations. This is typically more apparent in women with larger implants, as the larger the implant, the more it may alter the natural anatomy over time. However, it depends on the specialist surgical technique and procedures determined to be used in order to achieve an adequate result. I always approach a breast explant with immediate aesthetic reconstruction to reposition the mammary tissue and improve projection of the upper pole and medial areas using the BRALAN Technique (Breast Reconstruction Anatomical Lift Augmentation), since the results will be adequate in terms of aesthetics and have a minimal scar in the shape of an L and a lift if needed. To shed more light on this, I have attached a video. If you are considering a breast procedure, consultation with a plastic surgeon experienced in this procedure is essential to ensuring optimal results. Best wishes! Alan Gonzalez MD, FACS.

Answer: Breast implant removal Dear BAquestions23, implant removal surgery will not reduce the size of breast tissue, it will only remove implants. However, there is a chance that breast tissue size reduced with time. If you are considering surgery, I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination, you will get more information and recommendations.
