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?

Answer: Removal Since your tissue has been stretched for many years, you will have excess skin once the implants area removed. Also, the volume of the implants will be gone, and you may have some sinking in areas. Your surgeon who has seen you will be the best one to tell you what you may expect. You might want to discuss fat transfer with your surgeon to help give some volume.
