I need to have my implants replaced because they were recalled. It's been over 10 years so it's time. They have shaped oddly overtime and I would like a lift, but I do not want a vertical scar. Is there anyway to get a little lift without having the vertical scar? Someone told me that they could do a half circle incision on the top of my areola and pull up the skin up that way. Is that possible ? What are the pros and cons to this method?

Answer: Reality Check! Until we learn how to defy the laws of the physical world, the answer is an absolute no. There is no periareolar type of skin excision ('lift') that will give your breasts a pleasing shape or positioning of the nipple areolar complex where it belongs. By the way, the scars you have now from your circumareolar lift are FAR MORE conspicuous than a proper breast lift scar, and the vertical scar is the MOST likely scar to fade away. I can assure you that you will find plenty of practitioners who will honor your request and take your money. Don't fall for it, you will not be happy.

Answer: Explant with Bellesoma Method The technique I recommend is explantation and lift 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 (in 95%) and the ability to breast feed are maintained if not injured during your previous surgery. Later, fat transfers can be performed if additional volume is desired. Best Wishes, Gary Horndeski, M.D.
