I have decided to remove my breast implants. The only question remains - do I choose to have a breast lift at the same time the implants are removed? My details are as follows: Age; 37. Weight; 9 stone. Height; 5,6. Date of operation: August 2009 Implant: Allergan CUI Low Profile 260cc Placement: Behind the muscle Incision: Breast crease Bra size originally; 32B Bra size with implants: 32DD Based on my photos, I would be most grateful for your advice/thoughts.

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. Best Wishes, Gary Horndeski, M.D.

Answer: Would you recommend a breast lift when I remove my implants? Hello @Good3113, thank you for your question. You can have a complete procedure where the prosthesis is removed, a total capsulectomy is performed, which is very important no matter how long you have had the prostheses, and a breast pexy is carried out to lift the tissue that has fallen due to the lack of volume. This is followed by a reconstruction to achieve an adequate aesthetic result. If you are considering a breast explantation, consultation with a plastic surgeon who is experienced in this procedure is essential to ensure optimal results. Best wishes! Alan Gonzalez MD, FACS.
