Removing Breast Implants

At your age, it may be possible to remove your saline implants without the risk of breast sagging, but it is important to see a board certified plastic surgeon in person to determine whether or not you will need a lift after implant removal. Various factors cause the skin to become lax and the breasts to sag over time. However, without a consultation and discussing your medical history, it’s hard to say whether or not you would also need a breast lift procedure during the implant... more

Removal of Breast Implants and “Sagging”?

Thank you for the question. Without examining you or viewing pictures it is not possible to give you precise advice.

"sagging" ? Take them out- and SIEF: Simultaneous Implant Exchange with Fat

Simultaneous Implant Exchange With Fat - "SIEF", will be a popular alternative to implant exchange or total removal, which most women do not want! See the video: see video

Implant removal and sagging

Implants simply add volume to your breasts. If you remove them, you remove the volume. If you have smaller implants and good elasticity to your skin then the skin should contract over time just as it does when we remove fat during liposuction. If you have larger volume implants your skin may be stretched beyond its ability to contract adequately. If that is the case then a breast lift may be required.
