Breast Implant Removal and Lift

i am 59 and have had implants since 1997 (12yrs) i went from a c cup to a dd cup, since I only wanted to lift my breast and make them look nice, The implants make me look like Dolly, and since I've gained weight they look even bigger. I want them removed. It has been 12 yrs and I'm 59 yrs young. I will probably need another lift since these heavy breast are still sagging. I've had CC once and I think I'm getting some tightness in one of my breast with shooting pain that could possibly be the formation of CC. can both procedures be done at the same time without problems?

Breast implant removal and lift?

Direct physical examination would be necessary to accurately answer your question. What your breasts will look like after explantation depends on several factors such as: the quality of skin elasticity (the better the elasticity the better the skin will bounce back), the size of the implants used (the larger the implant the more trouble you may have with redundant skin), and the amount of breast tissue present at this time (which may have changed since the time of your... more

Breast Implant Removal and Lift

You should be fine. In most of my patients, it is possible to uplift the breasts and remove old implants at the same time. Your physician has to examine you and agree that this most likely will work well for you, though. I would recommend a consultation with the original surgeon or a board certified plastic surgeon. In my experience, many patients are quite happy with smaller, perkier breats and while incisions are required to remove excess skin, they usually heal nicely. more

Breast implant removal and lifts

Yes, both breast implant removal and lifts can be done at the same time but I don't recommend it. There is also no reason or need to remove the capsule around the implants unless they are heavily calcified or otherwise abnormal.  Breasts do not sag because of implants and removing implants does not make them sag either. They may look more saggy because of the volume loss (the reverse of why they look lifted when the implant is put in) but they don't actually sag... more

Breast implant removal and uplift

Yes, your breast implants can be removed and a lift would elevate your nipples and tighten and reshape your breasts. This can all be done at the same time as an outpatient. The pain should be less than with implants and your recovery, back to full activity could be in as little as two weeks!
