Can this be done through the belly button or would I need to have a new incision/scar.
Answer: Breast implant removal Hi, Thanks for posting your question. I am happy to try and help you. It is important to remember that a board certified plastic surgeon will be your best resource when it comes to an accurate assessment of your situation, and concerns. Having said that, I recommend draining the saline filled implants in the office and leaving the breast implants in after deflation. This is reasonable to allow for evaluation of the skin, breast shape and life impact of having the breast implants removed. Once it is determined that the patient is happy without the implants. I recommend simply removing the implants. This can be done in the office and at a reasonable expense. If they shape is something that requires adjustments then the degree of adjustment and results can be discussed before surgery. This can not be done through the navel.

Answer: Periareolar incision This cannot be performed through the belly button. It would require better access and capsulectomy, performed through the nipple incision.

Answer: Breast implant removal Hi, whitneyr7. Although your implants can be removed through your belly button, it would be too much trauma to remove them through the belly button. I recommend removing them through the inframammary crease or periareolar (around the areola) incision. Please discuss your options with your plastic surgeon. Good luck.
