I had small implants put in 11 years ago (over the muscle/silicone gel) after having kids and breastfeeding to add some volume to my already small breasts. Have had some issues on right breast - a bit of CC/pain and CT scan shows that it has ruptured. I would like a lift at time of explant as I am no longer interested in implants. Does it look like I have enough breast tissue to have a good outcome with lift? I have pics attached.

Answer: A breast lift at the time of explant for small breasts, will I have good results? (Photos) The smaller the implant and the less the amount of time it has been since placement, the greater the chance the breasts will return to their preoperative state. It is very difficult to predict breast size following explant b/c breast implants and weight fluctuations over time tend to thin tissues, cause a decrease in size, and create more droop.

Answer: A breast lift at the time of explant for small breasts, will I have good results? Hello and thank you for your question and sharing your photo. Generally speaking, after removal of breast implants, breasts will look smaller and deflated. Many patients will need a breast lift after breast implants removal, which can be combined with liposuction and fat grafting to breasts to enhance the volume. I would seek consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon for a full evaluation and advice.
