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: 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!
