After much thought I've decided to remove implants without a lift bc I plan to get pregnant within the year and will wait until after to revise. I'm curious to know if it would be worth considering fat grafting pre pregnancy to add volume. Would I have any volume without fat grafting? I have very little breast tissue. Where would my nipples land without a lift? What type of incision is recommended? Last two surgeries were donuts. What options make the most sense knowing I'll revise 3-4 yrs out?

Answer: Remove implants would you need a lift Hello, thank you for your question. If you do plan on doing a lift after removal of the implant, it is a good idea to wait until after pregnancy. During pregnancy the breast will change, they will get bigger and then smaller. You may have more excess skin after breast feeding. Fat grafting maybe an option but not the solution or a quick fix. Again waiting until after will be beneficial. Then you can look into options of fat grafting and/or lift depending on what you want your breasts to like afterwards. Thank you

Answer: Implant removal Dear ziggyjoy, it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. Generally speaking, it is possible to use the same incision for the removal of implants. If you are considering surgery, I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination, you will get more information and recommendations.
