Hello, I have silicone implants. However, they are uncomfortable and give me constant aches. For that reason, I am considering to remove them, while at the same time, have an areola reduction. If that was the case (doing this two procedures at once), I would like to know if I would still need a breast lift. In addition, I would like to know how much would that approximately cost? (I live in LA). Thank you!

Answer: Breast Implants removal and areola reduction? Thank you for your question. No online reviewer can give you complete advice to your specific inquiry, one should have an exam and assessment of your tissues to determine your specific needs. Generally speaking, one can have removal of implants and a periareolar reduction. This is limited to the size of the areola and the laxity of the tissues. If one has extremely lax tissues and a large implant then one may need more of a lift than can be done with the periareolar technique. I would recommend starting with a face to face consult with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon who has experience in these areas. During your visit your surgeon should be evaluating your health to determine if you are a good surgical candidate and examining your tissues to get a sense of what type of procedure your tissues will allow. Only with a hands on exam can this be determined. Once an exam and opinion is rendered then you can decide if surgery is right for you. The surgical costs vary from surgeon to surgeon and location as well as if one needed the additional lift. A range could be from $5,000 to $8,000 in the Boston area. Good luck.

Answer: Breast explantation cost greatly varies The price greatly varies, ranging from $2,000 to $5,000, because several factors come into play. However, you may need a breast lift, which means additional fee, if your silicone implants have stretched your skin to a noticeable degree. It may be more cost-effective to have breast lift at a later date (if you really need one). The idea is to allow your skin to shrink to its best ability, thus giving you and your surgeon a more accurate assessment. Hope that helps and good luck.
