Can a surgeon remove the implants through a new scar approx 5 cm below current scars or does he need to go through the same scars? I think the scars below these would leave better shape and more skin. Does that make any sense and is it realistic?
Answer: Does the same scar need to be used? Hello, thank you for your question. I have attached a video that discusses your question in detail specifically, please watch this. During your consultation, discuss your goals with the surgeon, including your concerns about scarring and shape. They can assess your situation and let you know if the approach is realistic for you. In my professional opinion, the feasibility of the surgical approach depends on various factors, including your specific anatomy, the type of implants, and the condition of your breast tissue.

Answer: Scars In your first photo, your scars appear high because your implants have bottomed out and are sagging too low. with the implants gone, the scars are in the fold where they should be. Placing a scar 5 cm below would place it on your abdomen and be at risk for bottoming out again.

Answer: Original scar better The surgeon does not have to use the same scar. A new scar 5 mm below the old scar would be highly visible and would not be able to be concealed by a bra or bathing suit. I would recommend using the original scar.

Answer: Implant removal Implants can be removed using the existing scar or another incision can be created. A new lower incision would not necessarily improve the shape once the implants are removed. I encourage you to discuss your concerns with your surgeon for clarification on what you can expect in terms of results once the implants are removed.

Answer: Revision surgery through new incision It makes no sense to add a second scar when you already have one.
