Should I wait after explant to get a lift and areola reduction, or in the same procedure? Should I get the lift? (photos)

Once removed, I would suggest doing the lift at the same time unless your remaining breast tissue is very thin. an examination can tell if the lift can be done at the same time, or if you should wait.

Removal of the implants will lead to a deflated loose droopy breast envelope! Although removal of the implants will make the breasts smaller in volume, a simultaneous uplift will help give a good contour to the breasts and smaller neater areolae.  For optimal outcome, please consult a fully qualified plastic surgeon, who has specialist qualification in plastic surgery 'FRCS Plast' after having being trained adequately in the field of plastic surgery, is registered on the 'Specialist register for Plastic surgery' with the General Medical Council and has been considered competent enough to be a member of the 'BAPRAS' (British Association of Plastic Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgeons) and 'BAAPS' (British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons) at the least.

 

Hello and thank you for your question and sharing your photo. Generally
speaking, after removal of breast implants, breasts will look smaller and
deflated. Breast lift, if needed, is often performed at the time of removal. You can also consider fat transfer to your breasts for a natural volume enhancement. I would seek consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon
for a full evaluation and advice.
Best wishes and good luck,
