i want to remove my breast implants. too big. if i do this will i most likely need a breast lift? is my skin stretched permanently as a result of implants?
Answer: Will a patient need a breast lift? #explantation There are several factors that determine the result of a breast implant removal. Your skin could stretch back under several conditions: (1) if your breast tissue did not decrease over the 8 year period from your original breasts; (2) if your pectorals major muscle maintained its bulk; (3) if your pectorals major was not cut during insertion; (4) or if it was cut during insertion, it was repaired successfully after explantation; (5) if your rib contour was not altered by the implants. In other words, your skin has to be supported by adequate volume in the breast. In general, breasts with sub pectoral implants tend to do better than sub glandular implants after explantation, because the breast tissue is less stretched by the implants. Breasts that had no contracture tend to do better. Your question is a good one but complicated to answer.

Answer: You often do need a lift at the time of explant surgery I often recommend a lift at the same time as explant surgery. As the tissues become stretched and expanded with an implant over time, they often do not contract sufficiently post-operatively and need some skin removal/lifting. This will depend on many factors including the size of your implant, elasticity of your skin, amount of breast tissue, etc.

Answer: Breast Lift Hi, there are a number of options you can choose from after your implants are removed. In our office, there is regular breast lift, natural breast augmentation, or California Lift. The last two is almost the same in the sense that they both uses fat transfer.

Answer: Does breast implant removal require Mastopexy? Thank you for your question. The questions you ask depend on a variety of factors. How large are your implants? What is your skin like? Do you have ptosis? This will help determine if you need a lift or not. As far as finding a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon, a good place to look is the website for ASPS or ASAPS. Discuss with them your goals. Together you will come up with a plan.

Answer: It depends Good afternoon!Implant removal can be a difficult decision- the overwhelming majority of women love their implants and removing them can be a trying experience. The question of whether you may need a lift or not depends upon the elasticity of your tissues as well as the nipple position in relation to the rest of your breast tissue. It also depends upon the type of look you are comfortable with after your procedure. Some of the factors that may increase the chance of one needing a lift with their explantion include having thin tissues, a nipple close to or below the level of the inframammry fold, and having a relatively large implant in relation to ones breast tissue.I hope this helps
