Breast augmentation is one of the most popular cosmetic surgical procedures. It involves using silicone or saline implants to make breasts look bigger, fuller, and more shapely.

Although breast augmentation is associated with a high satisfaction rate, some women still choose to remove the implants after some time. Some decide to get their implants removed due to health reasons, while others simply want to regain their natural aesthetics. 

While breast implant removal is a common and straightforward procedure, you need to remember that removing your implants might have unexpected impacts on the shape of your breasts. 

Therefore, once your breast implants have been removed, you might need to undergo an additional breast enhancement procedure to improve your breast shape.

How Will Implant Removal Affect Your Breasts?

A lot of women considering explant surgery usually ask how their breasts will look after the procedure. As with any other surgical procedure, there is no universal answer to this concern. 

How your breast will look after explant surgery will depend on factors such as how long you have had the implants, how big your implants are, and your age. 

In some cases, the breasts will just regain their initial size and shape. However, in most cases, breast explant surgery might leave patients’ breasts sagging due to the impact of aging and the stretching caused by the implants.

What Can Be Done to Improve Breast Contour After Breast Explant Surgery?

Sadly, there is a good chance that breast implant removal surgery will leave you with sagging breasts. The good news is that several procedures can be performed to improve the appearance of your breast after removing the implants. 

For instance, if your breasts are sagging, you can decide to go for breast lift surgery. To give your breast a better shape, your cosmetic surgeon will get rid of the excess skin and tighten the breast tissue to reshape your breasts and support your new breast contour. In the end, breast lift surgery will make your breasts look fuller, which will give you a more youthful appearance.
