Is it common for the upper chest to sink in when implants are removed after 35 years? 58 years old.

Tlims
I’m 58 and have had saline breast implants under the muscle for 35 years. They re scheduled to be removed Jan 30, 2018. My plastic surgeon says my upper chest will sink in and skin will hang below that. Is this common?
