I have had 180cc saline implants since 1992 and my PS assured me he could remove them via the same scar (under the areolas vs under the breast itself) bc they are so small as well as also perform a full capsulectomy that way. On my BII support group website I have had women saying it was not possible yet I read a popular female racecar driver had hers successfully removed this way in 2018 to not have to encur excessive scarring. She did not need a lift and my PS says I should not either.
I have 350cc saline under the muscle (or behind) is there a difference? I had them put in through the aereola, but not sure if they should come out the same way or not. I am having them removed under local, and surgeon said either way would be ok. I havent really heard of anyone else having had implants put in through aereola. Mine were done 18 yrs ago. Just would appreciate any comments, before my pre-op appt. coming up soon.
I had my breast implants removed with capsulectomy after 8 years and the incision is around my areola. I have looked at a 1,000 photo's of this process and not one of them looks like mine. It seems like he actually stitched under my nipple to the back inside of my breast so that fluid can't fill in that space. I didn't expect my areola to be permanently tacked down creating this horrifying dent or gap. I don't think my front is suppose to be stitched to the back?
