Hi: Getting explant with capsulectomy, lift & moderate lipo to sides. I can get anchor but surgeon said because nipples are so big the vertical scar would contain some and be darker. He suggested another option to lift with only moving nipple up, making it smaller & vertical scar w/ permanent suture. Would this be a good option if I'm concerned about scar? What happens if I don't get internal suture? I want something smaller & very natural looking that will last. Thanks!

Answer: Which lift? An in person examination would give more accurate information, but it appears you would most benefit from a full lift. The nipple/areola will be downsized during the procedure. I'm not sure that a periareolar approach will provide you with enough lift. I encourage you to discuss your concerns with a board certified plastic surgeon. It is important that you feel comfortable and confident in your surgical plan.

Answer: Avoid anchor incision The technique I recommend is explantation and lift using The Bellesoma Method. 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, nipple sensation (in 95%) and the ability to breast feed are maintained, if not injured during your previous surgery. Later, fat transfers can be performed if additional volume is desired. Best Wishes,Gary Horndeski, M.D.
