My implants have settled after two years and the shape is perfect. However, it’s hard for me to work out like before and I feel Ike they’re too big and I want them removed. I had mild tuberous breasts and my surgeon had to release the tightness on the lower poles of my breasts. Will it tighten again if they are removed? How do I avoid that? I just want normal round shaped breasts without implants.. please help.
Answer: Explantation Great question! Nothing is ever a guarantee, but if the contraction was released, it should have matured and healed in already and should not create the tightness again. However, depending on the size of the implants, I would be more worried that since the skin has been stretched out now, you may end up with deflated breasts with just an explantation and would be unhappy with the appearance. An option could be downsizing, but you should have a consultation so that your options are reviewed and your goals reviewed.Best of luck and hope this information helps!

Answer: 2 years post BA tubular breasts. Will my lower pole tighten again if they are removed? (Photo) In general, the smaller the implant and the less the amount of time it has been since placement, the greater the chance the breasts will return to their preoperative state. Breast implants over time tend to thin tissues, cause a decrease in size, and create more droop. No one can truly predict this as each soft tissue envelope will respond differently, but you may do well with just removal.

Answer: 2 years post BA tubular breasts. Will my lower pole tighten again if they are removed? It is unlikely that the lower pole will tighten again since it was addressed surgically and has healed. An exam is needed to help determine what you could expect from a shape standpoint after removing the implants. A lift may be recommended once the implants are removed in order to achieve your surgical goals.

Answer: Tuberous Breast with Implant Removal It is unlikely that your lower pole will tighten since it has been released and stretched with the implant for the past 2 years. However, without a thorough exam of the amount of breast tissue in the lower pole and the changes in the skin, it is difficult to determine if you will have a normal round shaped breast after the implant removal. It is best to be evaluated by a board certified plastic surgeon. Good luck.Dr. Eric Wright
