Breast Implant Removal: Q&A
Ask a Question
I Want to Remove my Implants but I'm Worried About my Boobs Sagging and my Huge Nipples?
I'm 22 years old with sub muscular 360CC Natrelle Saline-Filled Implants. I underwent a breast aug. & a donut mastopexy 4 months postpartum my 1st pregnancy in August 2010. I'm 31 weeks in my second pregnancy and a 36DDD (I'd like to be a small b, think size of lemons). How soon postpartum can I remove the implants? I don't plan on breastfeeding, and I experience physical discomfort daily. I live in Dothan, Al, are there any dr.'s n the panhandle area you recommend. I'd like smaller areola's.

Timing of Removal of Breast Implants and Breast Lifting after Pregnancy?

Removing implants after pregnancy
I would recommend waiting until 3 months after you have stopped lactating to have surgery. If you feel that your breasts are still changing at that time, it would be better to wait until they are completely stable. It sounds like you might benefit from having a full mastopexy (lift) or even a reduction after removal of the implants, but the only way to know for sure is to be examined once your breasts have decreased in size. Congratulations on the pregnancy and good luck!

How Long Do I Have to Worry About Possible Seroma After Explant of Breast Implants?
Even if you don't chooses to breast feed, the pregnancy alone will cause changes in the breast, and you would be doing yourself a disservice to have surgery before the breasts have "recovered."
You will probably need to repeat the donut mastopexy (to reduce the areolas and remove some excess skin), and you may need more skin excision than can be done with just that incision. But until the breasts have decreased in size after the pregnancy that will be hard to judge.

Removal of implants
It is probably best to wait until several months after delivering. This way , the milk will have dried up and hopefully you will have gotten down to your pre-pregnancy weight.
