Planning my ex-plant, I have saline implants,under muscle for 24 years. I was fine for the first 13 years but then had them replaced and began developing strange autoimmune-like symptoms 6 months later after my replacement. Been very sick the last 9 years with no diagnosis, thinking I have BII. I'm trying to figure out if I should add a lift or not. When I flex the right side has some sort of deformity with lumpy looking tissue. Is this normal and can it be fixed with a lift? Or what can be done
Answer: To Lift or Not To Lift? Good morning,

Answer: Lift or no lift? I'm sorry to hear of the issues you are having. From your description it seems an en bloc removal of the implants and capsules would be recommended. This should improve the animation deformity. I encourage you to speak with your surgeon about your goals for how you would like your breasts to appear after surgery. This will help to determine if a lift is recommended.

Answer: Removal You will need an examination to see if a lift is needed. Perhaps minimal invasive skin tightening with radiofrequency, like ThermiTight would also work for you. Once the implants are removed, you still may have some flexion deformity since you have had the implants for such a long time. Do be tested for food allergies since most autoimmune disorders are caused or related strongly to food allergies.

Answer: Explant/muscle flex deformity. Should I add a lift or not? (Photo Thank you for sharing your question and photographs. Nothing replaces an in-person examination of your tissues but it appears that en bloc removal of your implants should help improve your animation deformity while a lift would be recommended depending on your goal results. Best to discuss these with your surgeon.
