Breast shape after explantation

If you are planning on having your implants removed permanently, you may need to have the following done:

1) Implant removal;

2) Capsule removal;

3) Breast lift.

Without examining you, it is difficult to say which of these you will require. Some patients will require all three. Some patients can avoid a mastopexy (breast lift) by allowing their surgeon to remove the implants and capsules and wait. In certain situations, the skin envelope may tighten up over time. However, be prepared to possible need a second operation to lift the breast back to an aesthetically pleasing position.
