I had an explant with full capsule removal 25 days ago. I'm 38 years old and had textured allergan drop shaped silicon for almost 15 years. I breastfeed 1 child. I was told I was not a candidate for breast lift before surgery. Is it possible to do a lift for a more perky youthfull look? I don't want another implant or fat transfer. I just wonder if it is possible to acomplish the look with lift only.

Answer: Can I have a breast lift after explant? Hello, Thank you for the question and photos. Breast lipofilling using fat grafting would be the best option for you in order to achieve a more perky, youthful and uplifted breast appearance, rather than breast lift. Breast lift is typically performed to raise the nipple and in your situation the nipple is in adequate position. I suggest that you seek an in person consultation with a Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon in order to discuss your goals and concerns for the best cosmetic results. I hope this helps.

Answer: A lift would not be right for you It takes 3 to 6 months for breasts to return to their normal size and shape after explantation. You might not need anything when all is completely healed.
