240cc silicone subgland implants to treat saggy tuberous breast 4 yrs ago. What can I expect from explantation and lift? (photo)

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

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.  

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.

Hello! You likely have a good cup size minus the implant that was placed. The lift will be a bit tricky with the implants being subglandular and not submuscular, so make sure you see a board certified plastic surgeon with good breast surgery experience. The lift and implant removal will likely get you to a B cup, and you can always come back later for fat grafting. On the other hand, you could get fat grafting at the time of lift which would give some nice conservative improvement in fullness of the upper breast. I don't think you can go much smaller than 240cc with your frame - that's conservative size.Best of luck!

You would have to be examined in person to determine how much natural breast tissue you have. Sometimes removing the implants is the first step and then a lift is performed once the tissues have settled.

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.

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.

To approach your goals, I think that implant removal plus a full T lift will be what your laxity needs. Remember that no 2 surgeons will give the same result so please choose wisely. Breast lifting is an art form.
