I have 20 year old breast implants that are under muscle. They were inserted via armpit. I am having submammary explant. Is this more complex because they are under muscle. Does muscle need to be cut and reattached? Is recovery time likely to be longer because they are under muscle?
Answer: Breast implant removal under muscle? Generally, breast implant removal surgery is a very well-tolerated procedure; recovery is not longer because the breast implants are in the sub muscular position. Also generally speaking, the pectorals muscle does not need to be "reattached". Best wishes for an outcome that you will be very pleased with.

Answer: Breast implant removal recovery If your implants are intact and you are not having any current complications the recovery should not be too bad. You can expect some soreness. Wearing a supportive garment after will help. Your surgeon will be able to give you more specifics based on your situation.

Answer: Implant removal Assuming that your implant hasn't ruptured and you're not experiencing a complication such as capsular contracture, your recovery really should not be bad. You will be sore but the fact that your implant is below the muscle will not prolong your recovery in any way. Best of luck.

Answer: Breast Implant Explant A 20 years old implant is an old implant.Few issues need to be clarified The condition of the implants, are they intact?what is the condition of a 20 years old capsule, are they calcified, with calcium deposits?How much of the muscle was released in the original surgery? The muscle, if released enough during the original surgery is now probably at the level of the areola attached to the breast tissue. If left without re-attachment to the chest wall (Normal anatomy) it will cause animation of the breast after explant.If the capsule is to be removed, then an inframammary incision is needed. Enblock explant needs an inframammary incision.Before surgery a mammogram and an MRI might be needed
