Patients like yourself who have visible contour irregularities before explantation are at high risk to have them after the procedure. Discuss your concerns with your surgeon. You may be a candidate for fat transfers either at the time of explantation of as a secondary procedure.

The board certified plastic surgeon who performed your breast implant removal can provide the best advice regarding treatment for scar tissue or dented deformed breast after breast implant removal. Usually removing them and performing the lift at the same time makes the most sense as some patients clearly need a lift and only want to go through one surgery. If you are borderline, it is not unreasonable to remove the implants and then observe a waiting period of six months before the determination for breast lift and/or fat transfer is made. This will give your breasts time to bounce back and your PS time to determine what type of lift, if any, is needed.

Your surgeon will be the best person to advise you as he/she is most familiar with the details of your surgery and how you've been progressing through recovery. Sometimes massage of the tissues is recommended after surgery. Fat grafting can be done to help support tissues that appear inverted after implant removal.

Hi! How your body reacts to surgery is different for every patient. I think it is best to have a discussion with your surgeon, and see what your options are, you may benefit from fat grafting or a lift, depending on what your are left with after removing the implants. All the best!

Breast surgery requires incisions, which will always result in scars. However, many women do not like the vertical scars associate with the traditional techniques. The technique I recommend is explantation and lift using The Bellesoma Method. The implants are removed, your breast tissue is reshaped creating upper pole fullness, elevated higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage. Vertical scars are avoided, nipple sensation (in 95%) and the ability to breast feed are maintained, if not injured during your previous surgery. Later, fat transfers can be performed if additional volume is desired. Best Wishes,Gary Horndeski, M.D.
