Question: What do breasts look like after the implants are removed and what if replacements aren’t wanted? Will the breast then be smaller than the original size? Saggy?
Answer: The breasts will look exactly like they did before the augmentation if the implant was placed under the muscle. Only the changes of aging, hormones and weight will affect the breast tissue that sits over the implant.

We decided to go with a combination procedure to remove the breast tissue lump on each side […]
