I recently had anappointment with a local board-certified surgeon. My augmentation has turned into a waterfall effect baker 1 capsular contracture. She literally gave me 1 option and that was to remove the implants. Not what I wanted to hear. I was hoping she would recommend a Capsulectomy, implant switch and lift. She also said if I did decide to go the route to remove them that she would not do a lift until a year later just in case I liked them the way they are after the explant.2nd opinion?

Answer: Breast Implant Exchange with Mastopexy Thank you for you questions regarding breast explant and lift. In my experience, patients do not always needs another surgical procedure for a grade 1 capsular contracture. I have also performed breast implant exchange with mastopexy (breast lift) simultaneously with great results.

Answer: More information needed Unfortunately, you have not provided photographs or told us your bra size or implant size. However, if you have capsular contracture and waterfall effect then the implants need to be replaced at a different location and you need to have a lift. More information is needed to give a accurate answer.
