My right implant has ruptured and besides it being saggy it looks okay. Will a breast lift help the breast have more of a filled out look, or is it only time when the muscle contracts that it will look fuller, or my worst fear not at all.....

Answer: Implant deflation I think that you need to be evaluated in person. If you have enough breast tissue, the implant can be removed and the lift might be able to be performed at the same time.

Answer: #BreastImplantRemoval - after, most breasts appear very empty looking. You're right - and that's because they are.In general, the larger the implants (relative to your frame and the amount of breast tissue you had) and the longer they were in, the less likely you will return to your pre-operative appearance; or even close. In fact, depending on the degree, you would almost certainly need a lift to tighten the loose and excess tissues and, if you're willing to consider it, smaller implants. Not just for volume but also for shaping. As you've suggested there is that empty look, which is unavoidable after all the breasts have been through.You can do it in stages, and there are certain advantages to that. Removing the implants and doing a lift at first, and then giving your body a change to heal on its own before assessing makes a lot of sense. You can then undergo insertion of a small implant, revision of the lift (if indicated) or, hopefully, nothing at all. You should of course discuss all of this with your own plastic surgeon.I hope that this helps and good luck,Dr. Alan EnglerMember of RealSelf100
