What are my options? | Breast Implant Removal Adelaide
For patients thinking about implant removal there are a few options at hand. Patients can choose to have their implants removed completely, while those who do not want to go back to having 100% natural breast various procedures can replace the implant or use new techniques like breast lifts or fat transfers to alter their shape and size.
Revision – For patients who wish to replace their implants, this procedure can help regain volume, add lift, or simply alter the shape of the implant. This surgery is similar to the original augmentation and is an alternative to complete removal.
Breast Lift – As well as removing the implants, this procedure removes excess or sagging skin around the breast. By removing excess skin, the surrounding tissue is tightened, and the contour of the breast is reshaped.
Fat Transfer – An increasingly popular option, fat transfer involves removing abdomen or thigh fat and adding it to the breast area. The total volume of fat may be less than that of the old implants, fat transfer can often provide a softer, more natural look.
