Explantation

Some patients decide that they no longer want to have breast implants. Their decision may be due to weight change, hormonal changes resulting in a breast size change, poor results, multiple and ultimately less-than-successful breast revision surgeries, cancer scares leading to a desire for removal, or their lifestyle and relationships have changed such that they no longer want them. Whatever the cause, patients are always anxious about what they will look like without implants, but more often than not, patients who have their implants removed look better afterwards than they anticipated. In some situations a lift can be necessary. Because of the highly variable nature of patient tissues and implant sizes, it is unlikely to see any one picture that shows someone exactly like you. But taken as a group of photos, you may get some idea of the type of results associated with removal.
