I would like to have my 15 yr old leaking silicone breast implants removed and not replaced. I’ve had implants since 1995, the first ones being saline. I had severe tuberous breast with asymmetry, the implants are above the muscle. I would like possible fat transfer and a lift. Would this be possible since I was tuberous?

Answer: Breast implant removal and reconstruction It would be difficult to give you good advise without series of photos or better, in person evaluation. You should definitely have your implants and portion or entire capsule removed. In that time breast lift should be performed. Later on, fat grafting to augment and further shape both breast, may be considered. Hope this helps. Goo luck.

Answer: Leaking Silicone, fat transfer and Lift Hi, the most important issue to address is the leaking silicone implants. If this has leaked into the breast tissue, it is more challenging to completely remove. With above the muscle implants, there is an increased of healing issues with a mastopexy. Depending on the physical exam findings, it would be best to remove the implants and perform a mastopexy with fat grafting as a second surgery after you have healed. Once you have been evaluated by a board certified plastic surgeon, a surgical plan can be developed.
