What is Explant with Breast Lift?

An explant with breast lift is a surgery that pairs the removal of breast implants (explant) with a breast lift (mastopexy) to bring the breasts back to their natural shape and position. This procedure is ideal for women who have chosen to remove their implants, either due to personal preference or medical reasons, and want to maintain a youthful, lifted appearance.

During the procedure, the surgeon removes the implants and excess skin, reshaping the breast tissue and repositioning the nipples to create a more natural and aesthetically pleasing contour. This approach helps to address sagging and volume loss that can occur after explantation, ensuring a harmonious and balanced result.

What are the Benefits of the Procedure?

An explant with breast lift offers both aesthetic and emotional benefits, providing a renewed sense of confidence and satisfaction with your body. Typical benefits our patients experience include the following:

Restores natural breast shape and contour
Improves breast position and firmness
Addresses sagging and excess skin after implant removal
Enhances overall body proportion and balance
Provides a natural, youthful appearance
Reduces potential complications related to breast implants

Are You Considering Explant with Breast Lift?

Determining your candidacy for an explant with breast lift begins with a comprehensive consultation with one of our surgeons, who is a specialist in this procedure. During this time, you and your surgeon will discuss your health, desired outcome, and the condition of your breast tissue to create a tailored plan for your procedure.

Candidacy attributes for this procedure include the following:

In good overall health
Experiencing sagging or loss of volume after implant removal
A non-smoker or willing to quit prior to surgery
In possession of sufficient natural breast tissue for reshaping and lifting

Overview of the Procedure

An explant with lift procedure is carried out through the following steps:

Anesthesia:

To ensure your comfort, your explant with breast lift surgery is performed under general anesthesia.

Removal:

The breast implants are carefully removed through incisions, typically made along the original scar lines.

Breast Lift:

Excess skin is removed, and the breast tissue is reshaped. The nipples are repositioned to a higher, more youthful location.

Closure and Recovery:

The incisions are closed with sutures, and you will be provided with post-operative care instructions to support a smooth recovery.

Recovery After Explant With Lift in Ann Arbor

Recovery time can vary from patient to patient based on your individual healing abilities, the specific techniques utilized during your surgery, and whether you opted for any additional treatments like fat grafting or facial rejuvenation to be performed at the same time.

In general, patients can expect a similar recovery period to the one they experienced after their primary breast augmentation procedure. Most women take about a week off from work to recuperate. However, heavy lifting and strenuous exercise should be avoided for 4-6 weeks. You will receive a detailed aftercare plan, compression garments, and prescriptions for painkillers to help make your healing journey seamless and successful.
