Do You Have to Find a 'Special Implant Removal' Surgeon when Explanting?

Hi, I have decided to remove my implants and have visited two surgeons. One was very positive about my results after explantation. The other didn't think I would be happy with the results. Both are highly regarded surgeons. Do you think the more positive surgeon is more confident in his technique or is it a simple procedure that doesn't take much time? Does the surgeon matter when explanting? Should I find a specialist? Thank you

Rest Implant Removal “Specialist”?

Thank you for the question. I would suggest that you select a well experienced plastic surgeon well-versed in breast surgery to do your procedure; a “specialist” is not necessarily needed. 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... more
