Answer: Implant removal and lift Dear Original_1993, it is hard to tell for sure how will your breasts look after implant removal. If you are considering surgery, I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination, you will get more information and recommendations.

Answer: Lift or no lift It is likely that the large implants will have stretched the skin envelope. Your skin will retract to some degree after the implants are removed but they may look like empty pockets depending on the amount of natural breast tissue you have. If you are wanting a perkier look you will likely need a breast lift to reshape the breasts. I encourage you to discuss your concerns with your board certified plastic surgeon.

Answer: Do i need a second uplift after explant? Hello @Original_1993, thank you for your question. To answer the question, it ultimately depends on the results that you are looking for. The most important factor in deciding which technique(s) to use is the opinion of your plastic surgeon, who will have assessed factors such as skin laxity, breast size and shape, and other individual characteristics that can determine the best approach. I always perform an explantation with total capsulectomy, followed by immediate reconstruction using BRALAN (Breast Reconstruction Anatomical Lift Augmentation) in order to provide anatomical projection to the breast (upper pole) and to provide a lift to the breast. I link a video to shed more light. If you are considering a breast explantation, consultation with a plastic surgeon who is experienced in this procedure is essential to ensure optimal results.
