6 years ago I had 475cc breast implants placed sub-mammary via peri-areola. Prior to surgery I was a size 34B with significant ptosis. (resulting from breastfeeding all 4 of my children). Originally I would have had a breast lift done but at the time I couldn't afford it financially or take the time off from work. I would like to have my implants removed and have a lift. Is it better to wait a certain period of time after having the implants removed before I get a breast lift?

Answer: An implant exchange or breast lift can be done at the same time as the explantation Removal of breast implants, intact or ruptured, may have positive implications if patients are symptomatic. A constellation of symptoms associated with breast implant illness, and autoimmune disease are considered when treating patients who have breast implants and are concerned about foreign body reaction. In our office, we begin this journey with a consideration of symptoms and exclusion of obvious autoimmune problems. In many of our patients, en bloc removal of breast implants with capsulectomy is important and beneficial. Further clinical evidence about breast implant illness is evolving and will continue to guide treatment. I would suggest removal if there is a possibility of foreign body reaction.
