Will explanting give me a bad result due to very little breast tissue? (Photos)

Simply
explanting will give you marked deformity of the breasts because of the
stretched skin envelope.  Instead, I
recommend explantation using The Bellesoma Method.  This technique will reshape your breast
tissue creating upper pole fullness without implants, elevate them higher on
the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage.  Vertical scars are avoided, nipple sensation
and the ability to breast feed are maintained, if not injured during your
previous surgery.  At the same time or
later, fat transfers can be performed is additional volume is desired.Best Wishes,Gary Horndeski, M.D.

Thank you for the question. No, I do not think that you will end up with an aesthetically "bad result" after breast implant removal. Of course, "better results" may mean different things to different people. My best estimate, based on the information here, is that your breasts will look pretty similar (after breast implant removal surgery) to what they look like prior to breast augmentation surgery.


Generally speaking, what your breasts will look like after explantation depends on several factors such as: the quality of skin elasticity (the better the elasticity the better the skin will bounce back), the size of the implants used (the larger the implant the more trouble you may have with redundant skin), and the amount of breast tissue present at this time (which may have changed since the time of your breast augmentation).


Life experience since your breast augmentation procedure, such as pregnancy or weight gain weight loss, will potentially influence the factors discussed above. If you take these factors into consideration and apply them to your specific circumstances you may get a good idea of what to expect after the implants are removed.


 Patience is definitely indicated after removal of breast implants; it will take many months/year for the skin to “bounce back” and for you to see the final appearance of the breasts.


In "borderline" cases where there is doubt whether breast lifting is necessary or not, I advise patients to undergo explantation only and to give their breasts the benefit of the doubt  before deciding whether breast lifting would be beneficial.  


In your case specifically my best advice: select your plastic surgeon very carefully. Ask him/her to show you examples of previous patients (demonstrating what he/she expects your breast to look like after breast implant removal and breast lifting surgery.   Seeing these visual representations of what you might expect, will likely help you make an informed decision as to how to proceed.


 I hope this helps. Best wishes.

I'm sorry you are unhappy with your implants.  If you elect to remove them you will likely have some loose skin with a "deflated" look.  The amount of breast tissue will be similar to what you had prior to your augmentation.
