I have 500cc gummy implants in about 10yrs ago. I need implants replacement. I want to go smaller 300-400 cc. Do I need a lift with it? Please advice.
Answer: Mastopexy doesn't seem to be necessary If the size is reduced to that extent, it seems that it may not be necessary to lift. Lifting (mastopexy) leaves a scar and should be done carefully only when absolutely necessary. However, depending on the situation, it may be necessary to modify the implant pocket slightly.

Answer: Replacement and Lift Yes, based on your photos alone and goals you absolutely need a lift to achieve a harmonious looking breast after a lift. I would recommend seeing a board-certified or board-eligible plastic surgeon with aesthetic surgery training and experience to tackle this type of problem in a safe and efficient manner. Best of luck!

Answer: Explant with Bellesoma Method The technique I recommend is explantation with 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 injured during your previous surgery. Later, fat transfers or small implants can be placed.
