Breast Lift after implant removal (explantation)

These are sizable implants and they no doubt stretched your skin envelope, Your ability to contract may depend on several factors. However, it appears that your need for a lift is questionable and not definite.

You can always undergo a  lift at a later date.

If you are unhappy with having implants and are unsure if you want or need a breast lift afterwards, then I would suggest you consider jsut having the implants removed first and see how they settle out.  You can always get a lift or new implants later on.

Removing breast implants

In general, if the implants were sized properly, positioned properly, and healed properly without distortion to the breast and they are removed, the breasts should go back to looking like they would have looked if the implants were never there aside from the incisional scar to put them in and remove them (through the inframammary crease). This does not mean they will look the same as they did when the implants were put it because breasts can change over time and for various reasons other... more
