Breast Implants

Some women are perfectly content with the size and shape of their breasts… and if that is you, then great! If you are reading this, though, it is probably because you have some reservations about your own figure.

Right after breast implant removal, a woman’s breast may not look ideal. Many San Fernando Valley patients note a deflated look, which improves over the weeks after surgery as the breasts regain their shape. However, this may not be an issue if women have also chosen to receive a breast lift during the removal process.

Whether or not the breasts will sag after implants have been removed all depends on the woman. Every San Fernando Valley woman is different, so results aren’t always the same. That being said, there is a good chance that women may experience some drooping and sagging after their breast implant removal, especially if they had sagging before their implants.
