I had a breast augmentation about 5 months ago, and since about 2 months ago I have had chronic back pain. The pain moves, and when it hurts, is much worse when I lay down or sit. I go to the chiropractor every week with no help, xrays look fine. At this point I dont know what else it could be, and am considering explant. I know the skin will retract differently for every person, but I did develop stretch Mark's after surgery, and am wondering if that means my skin will not retract as much?

Answer: Since I have stretch marks, will my breasts look bad after explant I'm sorry you are unhappy with your breast augmentation. As you've only had your implants in for 5 months, upon healing from removal you should return to a look similar to what you had prior to surgery. There may be some looseness of the skin and the stretch marks will not go away, but the skin should have decent retraction since the implants were in for only a short time.

Answer: Skin retraction after explant Great question! There are many factors to consider when it comes to the quality of breast retraction, mostly skin quality. Age, ethnicity, and genetics obviously affect the quality of skin and are factors as well. Since you've only had them in for 2 months, the skin hasn't really stretched out as much the typical patients with breast augmentation, so the retraction could still be good, again depending on the other factors of skin quality. However, everyone heals and reacts differently so what may happen with one patient may not happen with another.Best of luck and hope this information helps!
