Considering your young age, your breast tissues should have good retraction. However, 500cc breast implants are quite large and may have stretched your breasts, possibly requiring a breast lift. It is best to wait for 6-12 months after the implant removal to assess if you would like to undergo a lift or potentially opt for smaller implants.

500 cc silicone implants are considered on the larger end of the size range. Given that you had relatively larger breasts before the implants, with a 32 C size, it is likely that you have some degree of breast drooping (ptosis). However, a consultation and physical examination with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon would be necessary to determine the best course of action for you. If you are willing to accept some breast drooping, simply removing the implants without further surgery may be sufficient. On the other hand, if you desire perky breasts after implant removal, combining the removal with a breast lift would likely yield the best results. Ultimately, the final decision should be made by you after consulting with a qualified plastic surgeon and undergoing a physical examination.
