I have saline breast implants under the muscle that are about 20 years old. If I take them out I will almost certainly need a lift. Do you advise getting a lift at the same time as the explant?
Answer: Explant and The Bellesoma Lift The technique I recommend is explantation using The Bellesoma Method. The implants are removed, your breast tissue is reshaped creating upper pole fullness, elevated higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage. Vertical scars are avoided, nipple sensation and the ability to breast feed are maintained, if not injured during your previous surgery. At the same time or later, fat transfers can be performed if additional volume is desired. Best Wishes,Gary Horndeski, M.D.

Answer: Can I do a lift at the same time of an implant removal. Great question! The quick answer is yes, the long answer is probably yes. In most cases this can be done, however, of course it is important to have a thorough discussion with your plastic surgeon regarding the specific details relating to your previous surgery, your aesthetic goals, and of course, your medical history. Factors that can be relevant is your smoking history, how much lift is needed, among others. I wish you the very best of luck!

Answer: Explant and lift It is possible to remove implants and have a lift in the same day, but not everyone is a candidate for this. An examination is needed to determine what is best for you. I encourage you to meet with a board certified plastic surgeon near you to determine what is best for you. Some factors your surgeon will be looking at are the elasticity of the skin, amount of breast tissue, and determining if capsular contracture is present.

Answer: Lift with removal You will need to be examined to see if a lift is needed, if it can be done at the same time, or if you need to wait. Women who have little breast tissue may not be a candidate for a traditional lift once the implant is removed. I would suggest meeting with a board certified plastic surgeon and discussing your options.
