I am 59 years young and I have 26 yr old silicone implants with a textured finish. I have no children. I went from a 34A cup to a 34 C cup. Now I wear a 34 to 36 DD cup. There is asymmetry. I have researched and want an experienced surgeon in en block 'explant'. The implants were inserted via the axilla route and placed behind the muscle/chest wall. I will consider a breast lift 9mths to a year following explant. Want a surgeon who can repair internally if necessary. Any UK recommended.
