Unfortunately, I don't think there is a single answer to your question. How much your breast tissue will retract back and form a nicely shaped breast after implant removal depends on many things: The quality of your skin, stretch marks, how big the implants were, how long there were in, genetics, how old you are, etc. A younger woman with tight, firm skin and small implants placed recently would likely have the best result, compared to an older woman with thin, inelastic skin, who breast-fed and has large implants from years ago. Hope that helps a little! Michelle Spring
Based on the limited information you have given and if I interrupt "recoil" as meaning skin shrinkage, I will attempt to answer your question: 1) breast implants not only protrude forward but over time will make the Chet wall concave 2) breast skin stretches just like with pregnancy. Each persons viscoelasic properties are unique to them. A good indicator would be how your abdominal skin "recoiled" after delivery. 3) age pays a factor, the oder we get the less collagen and elastin fibers we have, thus the less "recoil" 4) the size of the implants also will influence how stretched out your skin became to accommodate your implants 5) after 9 months of explanation you will have most likely reached a steady state with no further significant change.

Many patients report the recovery and healing is much more easier than the original breast augmentation procedure. Swelling is not uncommon but it is certainly not as common and for as long as it may be following an augmentation. The #incisions should take approximately a week or two to heal up....
Thank you for the question. Breast implants can be removed at any time from the surgical or anesthesia standpoints. You should be aware however that it is not uncommon for patients to have severe emotional swings (both depression and elation) after undergoing plastic surgical procedures. &...
The time it takes for breasts to look “normal” after implant removal and a breast lift can vary from person to person. It generally depends on several factors, including the individual’s body, the specific surgical procedure, and the surgeon’s skill. Recovery and healing may take several weeks, ...
