Breast Lift

Although it is quite likely that you may decide to opt for a lift, I would suggest just having the implants out as a first stage is best. Then wait three months or so to see how much skin shrinkage occurs. You may be fortunate and need nothing else done. You may need a lift but with fewer incisions than you might need if the lift were done at the same time. Even if you were to decide to do the lift at the same time to get it all done at once, the tissues are so distorted... more

Will Ultimate Breast Lift Work in my Case?

I am sorry you are having so many difficulties after your breast augmentation. Typically, breast capsular contracture is rare. Furthermore, the need for revision is not the typical course for "routine" breast augmentation. I would suggest breast implant capsulectomy and changing the location of your breast implant. If your breast implants are currently on top of the muscle, I would suggest placing your new breast implants underneath the muscle. Upon examination of just your... more

Mini Ultimate Breast Lift after implant removal

I've had equally beautiful results with a staged lift and implant removal with lift simultaneously. The benefit of the Mini UBL technique is that breast tissue can be repositioned in 4 different planes. This allows for maximum lift in a single stage. Another advantage to the Mini UBL is that you will only require an incision around the areola. No inframammary incision needed. The Mini UBL is not a Benelli. The Benelli lift is very limited in what we can do for someone with your dimensions.... more

Possible breast lift after implant removal

The chance that you would not benefit from a breast lift after removal of your implants appears to be high but without a physical exam it is difficult to give an absolute answer. I'm not sure what an "ultimate" breast lift refers to but I believe you will most likely benefit from a lift leaving a scar around the areola and down the lower middle of the breast. Allowing time after implant removal may allow some tissue contraction and lessen the need for breast lift. There are also alternatives... more

Is a breast lift necessary after removal of my breast implants?

It is a great idea to remove the breast implants first and wait several months. Your skin could retract a great deal and you might need a lift with less scaring. If you do it immediately there could be more scars.

Breast lift

If you have your implants removed, you may need a lift, but if your breasts are very small you may want to wait to have the lift until the breasts have settled down from the implant removal.
