Will my tissue regrow? 9 months after explant surgery (Photo)

Nothing will change without some sort of augmentation. If you had a bad experience with implants, the fat transfer is an excellent option to help rejuvenate your breasts with good long term results and minimal complications.

Hello, thank you for your question. From my experience, it can take approximately 12-18 months for breasts to retract/"fluff." Results may differ for each patient, reach out to your surgeon to see if there is anything they recommend to help with this. I hope that this helps!

Dear Tampasxymama,
the short answer is no. Your breasts won't grow new breast tissue. You can try fat transfer to make them fuller. 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.

Hello @Tampasxymama, thank you for your question. Healing is an important process and it's recommended that you take the necessary time to let the tissue heal before considering any other options. A breast fat transfer can help however I believe there are other options you can consider. You could benefit from aesthetic reconstruction with BRALAN technique (Breast Reconstruction Anatomical Lift Augmentation) and breast lift. It is possible to create good breast shape and upper pole fullness with your own tissue. If you are considering a breast reconstruction, a consultation with a plastic surgeon who is experienced in this procedure is essential to ensure optimal results. Best wishes!

Thank you for the question. Unfortunately your tissue is not going fill this deficit in on its own. Your options to correct this are to have a lift, have an implant replaced, or you can have fat transfer to the breast—which may take more than one operation. Or you can do what you’re doing right now and do nothing. I hope you find this helpful.

Ideally you need a Mastopexy. That will help diminish the empty area by moving the breast up. The natural atrophy you have will not "refill" the upper breast mound over time

At nine months post op you are seeing your final results. They are not likely to further fill out naturally at this point. If you are interested in a lift see a board certified plastic surgeon near you to learn more.

No, your breast will not regrow since you are an adult unless you gain a fair amount of weight or become pregnant. Your implants have stretched and thinned your breast tissue and skin. You might consider minimally invasive radiofrequency skin tightening like Renuvion for some help with minimal scars.

The ability of breast tissue to regrow after explant surgery depends on various factors, including the individual's age, genetics, hormonal balance, and overall health. Here are some key points to consider:1. Natural Tissue Regeneration: In some cases, breast tissue may partially regenerate after explant surgery, especially if the implants were not in place for an extended period or if there was minimal damage to the surrounding breast tissue during implantation. However, the extent of tissue regrowth can vary significantly among individuals.2. Time Since Explantation: The timeframe of nine months after explant surgery is relatively short in terms of tissue regeneration. While some changes may occur during this period, significant tissue regeneration typically takes longer. It's essential to allow sufficient time for the body to heal and adapt following surgery.3. Stimulation and Support: Certain factors can promote tissue regeneration and improve the overall appearance of the breasts after explant surgery. These may include maintaining a healthy lifestyle, avoiding smoking, consuming a balanced diet rich in nutrients, and participating in targeted exercises or breast massage techniques recommended by a healthcare provider.4. Individual Variability: It's important to recognize that the degree of tissue regeneration varies among individuals. Some may experience noticeable changes in breast volume or shape over time, while others may see minimal changes.5. Consultation with a Healthcare Provider: If you have concerns about tissue regeneration or changes in breast appearance after explant surgery, it's advisable to consult with a plastic surgeon. They can assess your specific situation, provide recommendations, and address any questions or concerns you may have.Overall, while breast tissue may undergo some degree of regeneration after explant surgery, the extent of this regeneration can vary among individuals, and it's essential to have realistic expectations regarding post-surgical outcomes.
