I have decided to remove my implants that I’ve had for 4 years. I have 350cc UTM. Will I still look bottomed out if I just get them removed, or would a capsulotomy make the appearance better? I have no illness and no capsular contract so capsule will be left in. Thank you.

Answer: Revision surgery Dear kbdee, breast revision surgery is the most difficult plastic surgery procedure performed. Botched breast surgery alters normal tissue planes and laxity, the ability of breasts to heal properly, and leaves scar tissue that dramatically affects the level of difficulty of the corrective surgery.Many patients come in to correct poor outcomes from their initial surgeries. The most common problems are due to implant malposition, bottoming out of the implant, poor scarring, and incorrect implant size.While the type of revision required will depend on the result of the previous surgery and the desired result of the patient, some revisions involve extensive pocket repair that may or may not need specialized external bras.If you are considering breast surgery revision, you should speak with a board certified plastic surgeon and have yourself properly assessed. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations. Also, you have to make sure that your surgeon understands your breast augmentation goals.

Answer: Will I still look bottomed out if I just get implants removed? Would a capsulotomy make the appearance better? Hello @kbdee, thank you for your question. I suggest a breast Pexy and to remove the implants. The result can be enhance significantly 3 months after the definitive Explantation with breast pexy performing a breast fat transfer to improve the shape of the breast. To obtain more information and recommendations, it is best to consult one or more board-certified plastic surgeons. Best wishes! Alan Gonzalez MD, FACS.
