Can I go with bigger implants after breast reduction surgery when too much tissue was removed? (photo)

Thanks so much for your question,
you can get bigger implants after a breast reduction, but there are a few important factors to consider:

If too much tissue was removed, you may lack natural support, making implant placement more challenging and your skin needs to be elastic enough to accommodate larger implants without excessive sagging.

Get a consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon to evaluate if your skin and tissue can handle a bigger implant Also, you can consider fat grafting as an alternative (or in addition) for a softer, more natural boost.

Sincerely,
Dr. Emmanuel Mallol

I recommend an in person consultation with a plastic surgeon to discuss your goals and be measured. After I measure and discuss goals with my patients, we then look at pictures of women (my patients) with similar measurements with different size and style breast implants. They also get to see what they would look like when the breasts have fully dropped and fluffed and in clothes. You get to see actual results and the surgeon's experience and not a virtual idea of what can be achieved. Women tell me that this process is very helpful in determining what size and style breast implant is right for them. Dr. Ted Eisenberg, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon and Author.

Yes you can still elect to have implants even if you've had a breast reduction. The recommended implant size will depend on your measurements. Visit with your surgeon for a consultation and evaluation.
