Explant with lift at the same time, or better to wait and do the lift later?

January 12, 2015
Asked By:healthynewme in Johnson City, TN

Are there any benefits to just getting the implants out, then waiting to see how the breasts respond before doing the lift? Or is it better to just do the lift at the same time as the explantation, avoiding two surgeries?
