In 2012, I had a breast augmentation with gel silicone textured implants with a crease incision. Before surgery, I was an A cup and since surgery, have been a D cup. Unfortunately, I am no longer happy with my breasts and have been experiencing some adverse effects that may be from the breast implants (i.e., extreme fatigue, joint pain). They also feel too heavy for me. However I am scared of what my breasts may look like after removal. I would appreciate your recommendation and expert advice.
Answer: Implant removal Your breasts may retract nicely and you can be fine. If , however. You are not happy with your breasts after removal, than you can consider a breast lift. Either way, you will feel better and be more proportionate. Thank you.

Answer: Breasts After Removal Thank you for your question. Please do some research on breast implant illness as the signs and symptoms of joint pain and extreme fatigue are symptoms of BII. It is difficult to tell a patient what they may look like after and depends on multiple factors such as age, height, weight, size of implants, and how many sets of implants were inserted.

Answer: Removal Since you were an A to start and these implants have thinned and stretched your own tissue, you will be much flatter and will sag. You might consider exchanging them for smaller smooth implants that are less heavy and full. Do remember you were not happy with your breasts prior to surgery and may not be happy once the implants are removed. Fat can be added if you have donor fat. Fat is not placed where the implants were, but in your actual breast tissue. Since you were small to start and implants have thinned and stretched your tissue, you may not support much volume of fat.

Answer: What will my breasts look like after implant removal? Hello @jaydubb, thank you for your question. In case of an explantation with capsulostomy, the surgical procedure would imply a breast reconstruction, because taking out the volume that the prosthesis gave will require repositioning of the tissues. In this way, you would achieve an aesthetic result you would be happy with. If what you want is to do an explantation with capsulostomy is not convenient to have fat transfer to breasts in the same procedure, it is advisable to wait 3 to 4 months to avoid the fat to die or risk of infection. In this case the incision would be periareolar in a L shaped to avoid making a T. The best course of action is to consult one or several board certified plastic surgeon for more information and options tailored specifically to your needs. Best wishes!
