Female, Caucasian, 50's, Original Surgeon Retired. I am interested in getting breast implant removal and seeing how my breasts look after the explant before committing to a lift. If I decide after the surgery that I would like to have a lift, how long do I have to wait after the explant surgery? Thank you : )

Answer: A breast lift can be done at the same time as the explant surgery Removal of breast implants, intact or ruptured, may have positive implications if patients are symptomatic. A constellation of symptoms associated with breast implant illness, and autoimmune disease are considered when treating patients who have breast implants and are concerned about foreign body reaction. In our office, we begin this journey with a consideration of symptoms and exclusion of obvious autoimmune problems. In many of our patients, en bloc removal of breast implants with capsulectomy is important and beneficial. Further clinical evidence about breast implant illness is evolving and will continue to guide treatment. I would suggest removal if there is a possibility of foreign body reaction.
