Will breast tissue fluff out back to normal after explant of over the muscle breast implants removed with 9 months of implant ? Are there any procedures / massage to improve the breast tissue to become firmer again and restore nipple? I am 10 months after explant and breast tissue is thin and no structure, skin still stretched, nipple still crinkled over. I am age 42 and size 32A.
Answer: Breast Tissue Firming After Explant Hello, thank you for your question. After explanting your breast implants, it is common for breast tissue to take time to settle and potentially fluff out as your body adjusts. However, the degree of change can vary based on several factors, including how long you had your implants, your skin elasticity, and individual healing. It will take time for your breasts to adjust post-explant, so patience is key. Please see the attached video to explain your question specifically in detail. Hope this helps!

Answer: Breast implant removal Following implant removal, it will take up to 12 months for breasts to complete settle. Given the concerns that you describe, you may benefit from a breast uplift (mastopexy) or an uplift and auto augmentation procedure (using the tissue from the lower pole of your breast which would be removed as part of a lift, to enhance the fullness of the breast). You may also benefit from fat transfer, which can have the additional benefit of improving contour in other areas.

Answer: Post breast implant removal At ten months post op there is not much further change that would be expected. Massage is unlikely to be of significant benefit at this point. You may want to consider a lift with or without a smaller implant to help with shape.

Answer: Breast Implant Removal Good question! Typically, the breast tissue will decompress, commonly referred to as fluffing postoperatively, and the skin tightens to some degree for many patients. This can occur for months to even one year after breast implant removal surgery. The degree of fluffing and skin retraction is highly variable from patient to patient due to several factors such as patient age, the thickness of one's subcutaneous breast tissue, and skin elasticity. Procedures considered for improving the appearance of the breasts after breast explant surgery include the addition of volume with fat transfer and/or skin tightening by a breast lift, referred to as a mastopexy. I wish you the best of luck!
