Implant removal with anchor or periareolar breast lift? (Photo)

December 10, 2019
Asked By:Naturalbound12 in Westlake, OH

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!
