I am 29y, 120lbs. A periareolar lift was also done. I don't like how saggy they look today. I also find the size too large for my frame. And I still dont like the areola size. I am currently 32D. I would like a B-cup, with 3-4cm areolae. Can I expect this result from implant removal and lift alone? Or do I need to consider smaller implants? What about no implants and fat transfer later?
Answer: Revision Surgery Without an implant you may not get the upper pole fullness that you once had. The implant selection should be based on a combination of your desired size, soft tissue dynamics, breast base diameter and skin elasticity. I recommend an in-office examination as well as a detailed discussion with a surgeon who you are comfortable with. Finally, make sure your surgeon is a Double-Board Certified Plastic Surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS), a member of the American Society of Plastic Surgery (ASPS) and the American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS).Best,Dr. DesaiBeverly Hills Institute for Aesthetic Plastic SurgeryHarvard Educated, Beverly Hills & Miami Beach Trained, Double-Board Certified Plastic Surgeon

Answer: Lift You should have sufficient volume to avoid a new implant. An explant with a lift should give you a nice result with a smaller areola and sufficient volume for a B or even C cup size. The lift would have to be a Vertical or even Wise pattern lift to take up the ptosis.

Answer: Breast implant removal and lift Thank you for your question and posting appropriate pictures. He seem to be a good candidate for Breast implant removal and lift. I occasionally support the breast with an internal mesh bra with SERI or Galaflex to provide longevity. A consultation to discuss these options would be necessary.

Answer: Explant The breast lift will certainly help address the sagging look that you don't like. The areola can be downsized during the lift procedure. An examination would need to be done to see how much natural tissue you have to determine if you would need implants. It's certainly an option to have implants added or fat transfer done at a later time.

Answer: What can I expect from explantation and lift? I am sorry to hear about your concerns after previous breast augmentation surgery. As you can imagine, online consultants will not be able to be of much specific help to you when it comes to predicting your breast appearance (or your satisfaction with the appearance of your breasts) if you undergo breast implant removal and breast lifting surgery. If I were seeing you in consultation, 2 "pieces" of information would be helpful to me when it comes to providing you with a good recommendation:1. Your physical examination will allow for determination of how much native breast tissue is present and therefore what your breast size may be after removal of breast implants. In my practice, my patients and I do not communicate utilizing cup sizes.2. Viewing your goal photographs (and pictures of breasts that you consider too small or too large) would allow for me to determine whether or not you will likely be pleased with the results of removal of breast implants and breast lifting surgery. Best advice: seek consultation with well experienced board-certified plastic surgeons. Carefully communicate your goals as well. Working together you will come up with a good plan to proceed with. You may find the attached link/video helpful to you as you learn more. Best wishes.
