I had moderate tuberous breasts which I got surgery to correct in 2015. I had 345cc anatomical implants under the muscle. I am very unhappy with the results, the natural tissue does not blend well with the implant and I want to get the implants removed. I’m wondering how the look can be corrected with implant removal and what results I can expect.

Answer: Wanting to remove implants. How can my previous shape be corrected without implants? (Photo) 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. You may not need a lift and breast fat transfer may be an option. Consult with a board certified PS via email or Skype.

Answer: Tuberous breasts Dear m1112c, tuberous breasts can rarely be corrected without implants or at least a small one. The breast needs to be scored radially from the inside to expand it. If you don't place an implant behind the radial scoring it will fall back to its original state. You could theoretically remove the implant at a later day and graft with fat but that would be a separate surgery. 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.
