Implants are Allergan/Inamed 410MF textured. I read that they have been recalled. My age is 75. I have had these implants for 15 years.
Answer: Implant removal You can elect to have your implants removed at any time. Based on the information given you will likely have loose skin when the implants are removed. If desired you may choose to have a lift to improve shape. I encourage you to meet with a board certified plastic surgeon near you to learn more.

Answer: Simultaneous explant and lift provides greater patient satisfaction After explantation alone, many women are dissatisfied because of the hanging skin, empty appearance and often require a lift. I recommend explantation and a lift simultaneously using the no vertical scar technique. 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 and nipple sensation (in 95%) is maintained, if not injured during your previous surgery. Later, fat transfers can be performed if additional volume is desired. Implants are not lifetime devices. 8% fail within the first year and 30% fail within six years. Fat transfers are permanent and incorporated into the body.Best Wishes,Gary Horndeski, M.D.

Answer: Removal Once removed, you will not have to worry about needing another surgery to exchange or remove your implants. You will probably have some sagging once removed. A lift might be possible at the same time, or using ThermiTight, radiofrequency treatment, at the time of removal to minimize sagging. I would suggest meeting with a board certified plastic surgeon and discussing your options.

Answer: Removal predictions The downsides of removal are primarily aesthetic.It is difficult to make 100% accurate predictions following explant. There are a number of factors to consider including age (the breast changes over time irregardless of augmentation), weight change, skin stretch and residual elasticity.
