Would 2 separate procedures be best to remove my implants?

If
you are having neck and back pain and concerned about ALCL, the implants should
be removed.  Whether the capsules need to
be removed or not is determined by the surgeon at surgery.  Removing the capsules creates more bleeding
and damage to the remaining tissue.  The
majority of patients who undergo explant only are dissatisfied with the
appearance and require a lift later.  However,
a lift can be done at the same time, if desired.  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.

Dear vinyasabutterfly,recovery process is not that much different after implants removal and implants + capsules removal. If you are considering a surgery, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.Daniel Barrett, MD
