What is implant removal with lift

Implant removal with a breast lift is a surgical procedure that involves removing breast implants and simultaneously lifting and reshaping the breasts. This combination procedure is often chosen by individuals who want to remove their implants due to complications, personal preference, or age-related changes in breast tissue. The breast lift addresses any sagging or excess skin that may result from implant removal, restoring a more youthful and aesthetically pleasing breast contour. This approach ensures that the breasts maintain a natural and proportionate appearance post-implant removal.

During the procedure

During the procedure, the original implants are removed with predetermined incisions to minimize scarring. Once the implants are removed, a breast lift is performed. This involves removing excess skin, reshaping the breast tissue, and repositioning the nipple and areola to a higher, more youthful position. The incisions are then closed with sutures, and the breasts are supported with a bra to allow healing and ensure the best possible outcome.

After implant removal and lift

  • Rest and Elevation: Rest and keep your upper body elevated to reduce swelling.

  • Medication: Take prescribed pain relievers and antibiotics as directed.

  • Wound Care: Keep the incision sites clean and dry.

  • Avoid Strenuous Activities: Refrain from heavy lifting and vigorous exercise for 4 to 6 weeks.

  • Supportive Garments: Wear a supportive bra for 4 to 6 weeks to help with healing and position of the breasts.

  • Sutures: Usually internal and absorbable
