Many women are concerned about a flat-chested appearance after they remove their breast implants. The stretched skin and tissue may not bounce back right away, and your breasts may never regain their pre-implant appearance. But rest assured—there are both surgical and nonsurgical options, such as breast lifts and Renuva®, to restore your breast shape and position.
Why Do Breasts Appear Flat After Implant Removal?
Breasts may appear flat or deflated after implant removal because implants often stretch the skin. Once implants are removed, your skin may not have enough elasticity to retract to your new contours. Factors such as your age, skin quality, and the size of your implants also play a role. Additionally, changes in breast shape after surgery are a normal part of the healing process as the tissue adjusts to being implant-free.
What To Expect After Explant Surgery
Swelling will decrease over the first few weeks. Over the next 6 to 9 months, the tissues will “fluff,” meaning the breasts will soften and settle into a more natural shape. While some women are happy with the natural adjustments their breasts make post-surgery, others may prefer a breast lift or Renuva injections to achieve their ideal look.
Solutions for Flatness After Implant Removal
If you’re not satisfied with how your breasts look after explant surgery, options are available to restore shape and volume. I offer both surgical and nonsurgical treatments, allowing you to choose what works best for you.
Auto-Augmentation Breast Lift
An auto-augmentation breast lift is a popular choice for women who want to avoid implants but still desire fuller, lifted breasts. During this procedure, I use your own breast tissue to restore volume and shape. First, I remove excess skin and then reposition your natural breast tissue to create a more youthful, perky contour. This technique avoids implants while still offering a fuller, more uplifted look.

Nonsurgical Contouring With Renuva
Renuva is an innovative injectable treatment for those seeking a nonsurgical option that adds volume and smooths out breast contour irregularities. With Renuva, your body gradually replaces the injected material with your own fat, creating long-lasting, natural-looking results. It can be an excellent option for women who want subtle improvements without surgery.
Renuva doesn’t significantly increase breast size, but it smooths rippling, indentations, and other irregularities that can occur after implant removal. It’s often an excellent choice for those looking for a nonsurgical way to enhance breast contours.
Which Option Is Right for You?
Deciding between an auto-augmentation breast lift or Renuva depends on your aesthetic goals and how much correction is needed. A surgical lift may offer the best results if you’re dealing with significant sagging or skin laxity. However, if you want a subtle, noninvasive enhancement, Renuva can help restore contour and smooth imperfections.
During your consultation, I’ll guide you through the decision-making process, making sure you feel confident in your choice and customizing the treatment plan to your needs.
