I Had a Lift then Years Later Large Implants. Best Incision for Just Removing Implants?
Just want implants out -- no problems. My lower anchor scars are about 3/4 inch above the crease (due to the large implants). I will be a large A after removal of implants. So which incision is best - aerola's or anchor scar? Also, where will my new crease be?

Best Incision for Removing Breast Implants after Breast Lift and Breast Augmentation
You mentioned that you already have an anchor scar from your breast lift and breast implant augmentation surgery.
Because you are having large breast implants removed, it is likely that the breast skin envelope will be stretched-out, lax, and unlikely to shrink down to normal. Therefore, I suggest the your best option would be to remove the implant through the lower portion of the anchor incision and have the breast lift redone to take up the loose breast envelope skin using the...

Incision for Removal of Breast Implants?
Thank you for the question.
Any of the previous incisions used can be used again for removal of the breast implants. If additional skin excision is planned, then the implants can be removed through this same area.
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...

Loose skin after implant removal
Many women will feel "deflated" when implants are removed and this can be improved with a mastopexy, a "tuck" or "lift", to remove the excess skin. In your case, since you have scars from your previous lift, it makes sense to use them for your next procedure. There will be some extra skin to remove, but this can usually be done without adding extra scars. I have been using the vertical mastopexy lift technique with very...

Removing Implants Generally EASY with Any Approach
When you have full anchor-pattern type scars, you can use any of the incisions to remove the implants. Generally speaking, they come out very easy. If your surgeon is going to remove any excess skin at the same time ( from the inframammary area particularly), then they should just be removed through that incision. It is always difficult to judge how your skin is going to bounce back after removal of the implants. Some women do great, while others have alot...
