Removal of 20 year old textured implants required: what are the risks?

December 5, 2019
Asked By:Miles33 in University Place, WA

Tear drop implants under the muscle when I was 19, taking me from AA cup to a large C cup. I am now heavier and have breast fed, so breasts have grown. Doc suggested explant with no replacement, and lift if I am not happy. She stated skin in good condition and I now have more of my own breast tissue. I can't afford the lift My question is, do I have to remove them soon? Am I more at risk of complications? No complications so far I am worried if I explant, will be left with tiny deformed breasts
