Breast Implant Removal?

Thank you for the question.

Removing breast implants

Breast implants can be removed

Well, you certainly can have your breast implants removed. Normally, the same scars that were made when they were put in can be used to remove them.  Your breast skin will slowly contract and you will look much less saggy than you might imagine.  Generally, in most cases, I recommend implant removal only and then wait at least 6 months to see if a lift is needed.  Your scars, like all scars are permanent and cannot be removed.  They will, however, fade and improve... more
