55 years old. Saline implants under muscle 20 years ago. Fibrous Breasts. I am curious if I would be a good candidate for breast implant removal, local anesthesia with no lift. Will I be happy with the results? What can I expect?

Answer: Lift with explant Hello, thank you for your question. In my opinion, it is best to have breast implant removal completed under IV sedation anesthesia. It is not possible to remove the implant and capsule under local anesthesia to ensure you are rid of your signs and symptoms of breast implant illness. After implant removal, only time will tell if you need a lift. Removal of the implant and capsule with a lift poses risk for unnecessary lengthy surgery. It can take 12-18 months for the breast tissue to "fluff" after removal of implants. I hope this answers your questions.

Answer: Explant with Bellesoma Method If you remove your saline implants the skin will hang and you will be dissatisfied. The technique I recommend is 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 and the nipple sensation (in 95%) is maintained if not injured during your previous surgery. Later, fat transfers can be performed if additional volume is desired.
