How Will My Breasts Look After Implant Removal?

How Will My Breasts Look After Implant Removal?

Breast implant removal is the process of removing breast implants for patients who no longer want them or are struggling with complications. Breast implant removal can be instrumental for those who wish to regain the shape they had before the breast implants. However, considering breast implant removal can be worrisome, as many wonder if their breast tissue will look deflated or flat once the implants are gone.  Breast implant removal is a delicate surgery that requires precision and expertise to keep a breast shape that does not sag. Below, we will outline how breast implant removal works and the steps you can take to prevent flat-looking breasts. 

How Does Breast Implant Removal Work?

Breast implant removal is simply removing breast implants when a patient no longer wants them or is facing complications with the implants. However, breast implant removal can cause the chest to appear flatter as the skin and muscles around the implant stretch to form the implants. Additionally, if you are struggling with complications like capsular contracture, it can create falt, sagging breast tissue once the implants are gone. However, there are options to prevent this issue and steps you can take to gain perky breasts, even after implant removal.   

How Can I Prevent Breast Tissue Deflation?

There are a few options for avoiding your breast tissue looking deflated after breast implant removal. The most important thing when considering breast implant removal is to find the right provider to perform the surgery. A skilled cosmetic surgeon can help prevent unwanted sagging through additional surgical options. 

Breast Lift For Implant Removal 

The first option is to have a breast lift done at the same time as your breast implant removal. A breast lift can remove the excess skin and tissue that may sag once the implants are gone. It can create shapely, lifted breast tissue that helps make the ideal aesthetic you are looking for. It can also help avoid any sagging from complications. Your provider can perform a breast lift during your breast implant removal for the ideal results. 

Breast Implant Revision 

If you are having difficulty with your breast implants due to their age, a breast implant revision may be a better option than removal. A breast implant revision can help you keep your implants and gain the shape you desire. A breast revision is a better option that avoids breast sagging and can still create a different size or shape if that’s what you’re looking for. It can help fix the complications and keep your breast tissue in good condition. 

Fat Transfer To Breasts 

Another option to keep your breast from looking flat is to undergo fat transfer to the breasts to fill in the gaps after the implants are removed. This is an excellent option for those looking for less invasive surgery but still want to keep their breast tissue full and lifted.  

Conclusion

While breast implant removal may not always cause deflated tissue, it’s best to talk to your provider about the options available to you. By choosing an experienced and knowledgeable provider, you can achieve beautiful breast tissue and still have your implants removed.
