After breast implant removal, your own tissue is your baseline. Younger patients have thinner tissue, while aging can increase cup size for some women. Dr. Robert Whitfield explains how to rebuild with what you have rather than focus on what you're losing.
Your baseline obviously is your own tissue. Your own tissue is really going to change over time. Typically, when we're younger, we're thinner. And then as we age, I've had patients and my nurse practitioners talk about it a lot. People seemingly gain a cup size over time sometimes. So when a woman asks, what will I look like? She's often picturing the implant as the norm. And everything else as a loss. The better question is not what you lose when a device comes out. The better question is what can we restore with your own tissue and what can we not restore?
