under muscle breast implants with lift 4 yrs ago. 450cc, never been happy with them. They are heavy. They go to the side and they don’t match my figure. I do want to keep implants for fullness etc, I have no health issues, but want smaller. The surgeon I have spoken with is suggesting taking them out completely. Letting my body heal. See what they look like naturally and go back in and do an over the muscle smaller implant as I have plenty of my own breast tissue. I’m wanting opinions on this

Answer: Explant with Bellesoma Method Unfortunately, you have not provided photographs or told us your bra size. The best option for you may be 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. Best Wishes, Gary Horndeski, M.D.

Answer: Breast implant exchange Thank you for the question. In most cases, exchange the implants in one stage is possible and adequate, although it is hard to determine whether this is a good option for you without photos or in-person examination. I wish you the best of luck. Vasileios Vasilakis, MD. Double board-certified, fellowship-trained plastic surgeon, Houston. TX.
