What Your Breasts May Look Like After Explant Surgery

The decision to remove breast implants is a personal one, and only you know what is best for your body. If you’re considering breast implant removal, you may be concerned about your breast appearance post-surgery. Results depend on several factors, but there are ways to achieve a beautiful, natural, confident look after surgery. Here’s what you can expect.

At Farris Plastic Surgery in Dallas, Dr. Zachary Farris, a double board-certified plastic surgeon, offers personalized breast implant removal procedures to meet each patient’s unique needs and aesthetic goals. With advanced training and a meticulous approach, Dr. Farris combines expertise in cosmetic breast surgery with options like breast lifts or fat transfer to help patients achieve beautiful, natural-looking results after explant surgery.

Changes to Expect

Once the implants are removed, your breasts may appear smaller, less full, or deflated, especially if you’ve had them for many years. The skin and breast tissue may have stretched over time, particularly with larger implants. Some women notice wrinkling, sagging, or asymmetry due to volume loss.

These outcomes are completely normal and vary from person to person. Factors such as the size of your implants, your skin’s elasticity, your natural breast tissue, and whether you’ve had multiple surgeries can all influence the final appearance.

Options to Restore Shape

To enhance the look of the breasts after explant surgery, patients often choose one or more of the following:

• Breast Lift (Mastopexy): Removes loose skin and tightens the surrounding tissue for a perkier, more youthful appearance—especially helpful for sagging or stretched skin.
• Fat Grafting: Uses your body’s fat to restore volume, offering subtle, natural fullness without synthetic implants.

Why Patience is Key

It’s important to understand that healing takes time. Swelling, bruising, and skin laxity are temporary. Over the next few months, your breasts will settle into their natural shape. Most women are pleasantly surprised at how their bodies adjust and how confident they feel post-explant.
