Implant removal after a year, 165 cc above muscle

The smaller the implant and the less the amount of time it has been since placement, the greater the chance the breasts will return to their preoperative state. It is very difficult to predict breast size following explant b/c breast implants and weight fluctuations over time tend to thin tissues, cause a decrease in size, and create more droop.

Unfortunately, you have not provided photographs or told us your bra size. However, 165 cc implants are relatively small but if you have very little breast tissue is can be significant. The technique I recommend is explantation and mini lift. The implants are removed, your breast tissue is reshaped, elevated higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage. At the same time, fat transfers can be performed.

Best Wishes,

Dear Awesome7637,
since you had tuberous breasts, there is a chance that you will have similar shape once you remove implants. If you are considering a surgery, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.

Thank you for sharing your question. Based on the size of implant it is likely that you will return to nearly an identical position as before surgery. Hope this helps.

The base of your breast show hold its position since the implant helped widen that area. You will loose about a cup of volume and may have some loose skin. You probably won't return to your tubular shape.

Thank you for your question. Removing your implants should allow your breast to return to your normal shape. 165 cc is a relatively small implant and only having the implant in for one year should minimize the amount of stretch on your skin. Best of luck with your procedure.

As you have had your implants in for a short time and they are conservatively sized your breasts will likely return to a look similar to what you had prior to surgery. There may be some stretching of the skin, but it probably will be minimal.

Dear Awesome,
its a very hard to say how much will the tissue return after removal of its implant . The implant has caused the breast tissue and skin to stretch and once the implant is removed it's most likely that the tissue will sink back but I don't expect it will sink back to its previous position.
