Had a lift with implants 13yrs ago. Result: Misshaped areola, large upper areola scar, flattened nipple, high positioning and since few year bottoming out from one side. Want to have the implants removed which is fine and the fold can be lifted and fixed. But with lot of skin being trimmed on the top, there is not much room to work on reducing and repositioning it. Any possible suggestions you may have to improve the shape and position of the areola, and for the overall look. Ideally no implants
Answer: Considering options From your photo it appears you may need to consider a breast lift when you have your implants removed. This will address the size and shape of the areola as well as remove excess skin. Depending on the amount of breast tissue you have, a small implant may be advised for shaping. See a board certified plastic surgeon near you to learn more.

Answer: Removal A lift done at the same time as the removal would be ideal if you have enough breast tissue to support the blood circulation to your nipples. Otherwise, the lift could be done at a later time. You could also consider going smaller and a lift.

Answer: Explant with Bellesoma Method The technique I recommend is explantation 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.
