Hello, I am a small framed woman who had former 300 cc saline implants removed 3 years ago. I did not do a breast lift after removal because they are were small. The problem is that little breast tissue I have left and slightly stretched skin had caused them to look awful. I am embarrassed to take off my top. I was wondering if a mini implanta was for me. I have a fear of them looking fake and unnatural like my original ones did. They made me very self conscious.

Answer: Mini breast implants after breast implant removal 3 years ago? Hello Dear @Enya2000 I appreciate your question. If there was an implant removal procedure before the patient can contemplate the two options, taking into account the reasons for the implant removal. If the motives for the removal were related to health or clinical, having breast implants again is not an option. The other option is to consider enhancing volume and projection of the breast with a breast fat transfer. For more information and recommendations is best to consult with one or several board certified plastic surgeons. Best wishes! Alan Gonzalez MD, FACS

Answer: Mini breast implants after breast implant removal 3 years ago? Thank you for your pictures and questions. The quick answer is YES! You are a great candidate for placement of a small implant for shape and volume. I would also suggest a small peri-areolar lift to tighten the skin around the nipple and make the nipple slightly smaller. This would give you an overall more perky appearance and I think would meet your goals while avoiding your fears. Make sure you are seeing a plastic surgeon who is board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and is experienced with revision breast surgery. Good luck!
