Not Happy with Your Implants? You Have Options: Learn About Breast Explant + Breast Lift
All good things eventually come to an end. If you’re no longer happy with your results after years of loving your implants, the surgeons at Restora Austin Plastic Surgery Centre can help set things right again. Get back to au naturel by removing your implants and lifting and reshaping your breasts.
Below, we explain more about a breast explant plus breast lift procedure at Restora Austin.
Common Reasons for Removing Breast Implants
Many of our explant patients have loved their breast implants for many years but have ultimately decided to remove their implants. Common reasons for this often include:
- Capsular Contracture – A hardening and tightening of the tissue capsule surrounding the implant
- Drooping or Sagging – Especially common after pregnancy or weight loss
- No Longer Interested in Breast Implants – Body goals and lifestyles can change with age
- Asymmetry – Uneven or mismatched breasts
- Implant Leak or Rupture – More common in older implants
- Other Health Conditions
Whatever your reason for wanting to remove your implants, our surgeons welcome you to visit and discuss your surgical options at Restora.
Why Do I Need a Breast Lift After a Breast Explant?
Breast implants stretch the skin and breast tissues. When an implant is removed, the breast immediately loses volume. This volume loss can leave the breast looking empty and deflated. Many women who do not see any natural improvements in this condition after they have recovered from an explant choose to have a breast lift.
Lifting the breasts after explant creates better aesthetic results from breast implant removal. The breast tissues are lifted and reshaped. Breast lift surgery can also be paired with fat grafting to add in additional volume without the need for an implant.
Unhappy with Your Implants? Other Options Can Improve Your Results
Explant surgery combined with a breast lift is one option if you’re unhappy with your implants, but it certainly isn’t your only one. We would love to explore your many options with you during a one-on-one consultation.
Other solutions include:
- Breast Revision – We devote a large part of our practice to revision, helping women that have experienced unsatisfactory results from their breast surgery to achieve their ideal look. We also help patients that have loved their implants for years but are ready for a change. Our goal is to make your revision the last one you’ll need.
- Implant Exchange – An implant exchange can correct many problems with your breast implants, from capsular contracture to a desire to change size. We use saline, silicone, and cohesive silicone implants in a variety of shapes and sizes to achieve your desired breast appearance.
- Capsular Contracture Treatment – Capsular contracture is a frustrating and sometimes painful breast augmentation complication. Our surgeons are very successful at treating this condition and have a less than 5% recurrence rate.
Our surgeons use many advanced tools and techniques, like Strattice or Seri tissue matrix, to create stunning results through revision surgery.
