1.My nipple sensation decreased. If using the old areola incisions, will it worsen my nipple sensitivity? 2.My doctor used non-absorbable sutures to fix my areola prolapse. I am concerned because they are permanent and I developed discomfort in my nipples. Can the sutures be removed when having my explant surgery? Will this stretch my areola scars? 3.I had tuberous breasts to begin with. Do they develop again, if I let my implants removed? What are my options or any recommendations? Thank you!
Answer: Implants Your implants have stretched the base of your breasts, so they should not shrink back down with removal. Your nipple sensitivity may not change with the second surgery, but will not be improved. The permanent sutures can be removed, and you should not stretch our since you are not getting implants to stretch out your breasts. You might even consider going down in size and internal tightening to help minimize the need of a lift.

Answer: What are some of the complications from removing the breast implants? If you have textured implants and/or wish to remove as much of the possible silicone, I would recommend an enbloccapsulectomydotcom and this I usually do through incision under the breast. This has become my specialty. This is removal of the breast implant together or en bloc wit the surrounding capsule so there would not be contamination of the remaining tissue. The main down side is that your breasts will probably sag more and be less full depending on the size of the implants removed but I usually do a breast reconstruction and possible fat grafting which I usually do at same time!There are several types from just a small uplift to a full anchor scar type and it really depends. The larger the implant and saggier your breasts, the more scars compared to someone with small breasts and implants. If I do an en bloc procedure, I usually use drains which stay in for about 3-5 days.
