I am a 39 years old with 300 cc saline textured breast implants over the muscle for 15 years. Almost a year ago, I noticed hardness and discomfort on my right implant and confirmed I have a grade 2 capsular contracture. I am undecided whether to replace implants with smooth saline ones or remove them altogether and get a breast lift.
I was a size A breast but have had 2 kids. I am a full B cup with implants. I wonder if having the additional scars from a breast lift with smaller breasts will be more difficult psychologically than just having them replaced? My objective is really to avoid having further breast surgeries!
If you have your implants removed completely, you may not have enought tisue to perform an adequate breast lift. I suggest that you get evaluated for a capsulectomy possible implant exchange and a circumareola lift to reduce the areola and tighten the skin envelope as one option.
