Answer: Lift or no lift It's really difficult to give a recommendation with no photos or an examination. It will depend on your skin elasticity, the size of your implants, and your nipple position. Your surgeon will be able to estimate how much of your natural tissue may be left from an in person evaluation. Any information you are able to provide about your implants (size, etc) will be helpful.

Answer: Need to see what you look like! Photos or examination are definitely needed to better answer your question. Based on your description, it sounds like a revision lift would be necessary. Usually this can be done at the time of the explant, but sometimes if you don't have much tissue it needs to be done in a second operation.
