Implant after Explant?

Question

I implanted at 19 in 2009 with 400cc textured silicone high profile implants. I went from 32A to 32DD. The implants were huge and so uncomfortable. In 2014 I was diagnosed with neutropenia with no explanation and was very sick. I was put on neupogen injections in 2018 and just 6 months later I explanted. I'm so much healthier now although I still have neupogen injections! In 2021 I had a fat transfer and it gave me some breast tissue after being left with nothing . I miss my upper pole

Gary M. Horndeski, MD · Answer

Many women are dissatisfied after explant alone and require a lift.  The technique I recommend is The Bellesoma Method.  This will reshape your breast tissue creating upper pole fullness, elevate them 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,

Dear Caligirl45,
it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. If you are considering surgery, I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination, you will get more information and recommendations.

I would suggest going back with implant but only to a C cup. with DD, your implants were too heavy and bottoming out in your photo.  Measurements are needed, but you might also need a lift.

I suggest having a few in person, consultations for the plastic surgeons in your community. If your previous plastic surgeons are available, then talk to them about various options regarding augmentation.
