I am 52 years old and have had a complete thyroidectomy. I am interested in having my implants redone. I currently have saline implants, however I am interested in silicone implants. Would this be an issue for my age and the fact that I have no thyroid? I would also like to have a mini tummy tuck during the same surgery is there anything I should be concerned about there as well?

Answer: More information needed At age 52 and previous thyroidectomy, this is not a contra-indication. You may want to get medical clearance from your physician. Since you have had implants for many years and want to exchange them you may need a simultaneous lift. Unfortunately, you have not provided photographs or told us your bra size. I agree with silicone implants and prefer the retro-pectoral position. In terms of your abdomen, you may or may not be a candidate for a mini tummy tuck. I would need more information to give you a more accurate answer.

Answer: Medical history As long as your thyroid levels are balanced with medication and you are otherwise a good candidate for surgery, you should be able to proceed with the implant exchange and mini tummy tuck. The next step is to visit with a board certified plastic surgeon near you for a consultation.
