Answer: Muscle repair and reattachment at explant Hello, thank you for your question. It is completely understandable to have concerns or questions regarding the long-term effects of your breast augmentation, especially if you were not fully aware of the muscle manipulation that occurred during the original surgery. In the attached video I explain muscle repair and reattachment and answer your questions/concerns. Consulting with a highly skilled plastic surgeon who understands your history and unique anatomy is crucial in deciding the best approach for your explant surgery. They can help assess the need for muscle repair and advise on what would provide the best outcome both functionally and aesthetically.

Answer: Explant with Bellesoma Method The muscle laterally is attached to the fifth and sixth ribs. Often times with the dual plane technique or with submuscular implants, the muscle is cut. Once the muscle is cut, it retracts and cannot be stretched out again. The muscle is atrophied and lost. You can reattach it but it will not be functional because of atrophy from lack of use. I do not recommend repairing the muscle. However, I recommend explantation and 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 not injured during your previous surgery.

Answer: Removal Many muscles are actually not or cannot be repaired since they have shrank away from the sternum or have already healed back to the sternum. I find in most women that "muscle repair" is usually not needed nor a concern.

Answer: Repair and re-attachment of pectoralis muscle It’s not possible to repair or reattach the pectoralis muscle in any useful way during implant removal. It sounds to me like someone is trying to take you for a financial ride.
