4 different consults: 1. Do implant removal under local with no drains then lift at a later time. 2. Go under and do explant, leaving capsules, with drains, and lift later. 3. Capsules must come out. Do capsulectomy then do a lift 6 months later. (this DR sited risk of infection as a reason to wait on the lift) 4. Do Capsulectomy and lift at the same time. This makes it really hard to pick a DR because they all say different things. I'm willing to travel to surrounding states of FL.

Answer: Explant and Bellesoma Lift I prefer to do a lift at the time of explant as this results in 1 operation and is less expensive. The technique I recommend is explant 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.

Answer: Breast lift Dear lma123, it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. Generally speaking, both options can be good. 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.
