I am looking to have my textured implants removed alongside the capsules. I am contemplating doing a lift either with my explant or as a secondary surgery. If I explant only & have pocket collapse or nipple inversion afterwards, what would fix this? Would a secondary surgery of a full anchor lift be curative of pocket collapse and nipple inversion following explant?

Answer: Considering explant A lift removes excess skin and reshapes the breast. This can often be performed at the time of explant. Most patients who undergo implant removal alone do so without significant deformities. It is important to note that if you have larger implants, current skin laxity, and/or the implants have been in for several years that the skin envelope will be permanently stretched. This is why many patients opt to have the lift at the same time.

Answer: Explant The issues with excess skin and loss of breast volume can lead to deformities like the one you are describing. A breast lift removes excess skin and also lifts and shapes the breast. Another option is a fat transfer where your own fat is used to replace some of the missing implant volume.
