Natural breasts are suddenly back in. It’s a weird trend, but given the many issues that celebrities have had with oversized implants in recent years, it’s no surprise that even everyday women are following suit. There are surgeries that can help make your own breast tissue still look full and lifted too, so removing your implants isn’t worrisome. Breast explant surgery in Chicago is booking up fast for the coming year. If you are interested in breast explant surgery in Chicago, you should know what to expect.
Think of It as a Breast Augmentation in Reverse
Breast explant surgery is the opposite of implant surgery. The surgeon is removing or explanting the implants. More than likely, the surgeon will cut along your old scars from implant surgery to remove the breast implants. If you feel that your breasts may need a little lift after the implants are removed, the surgeon will assess that situation and correct it before closing incisions.
Downtime and Healing Are About the Same as Breast Augmentation Surgery
Because the procedure requires the same incisions and a little extra surgery to reshape the breasts without the implants, the downtime and healing are about the same as your previous augmentation procedure. You can also expect drains for the incisions and have your chest wrapped for a few weeks. While you can do a desk job during this time, lifting and twisting are not recommended.
