Why Many Women Choose a Breast Lift After Explant Surgery

After breast implant removal, your body changes in skin elasticity and breast tissue, which can lead to a sagging appearance. That’s why many women explore the option of a breast lift during the same procedure.

At Park Meadows Cosmetic Surgery in Lone Tree, Colorado, our board-certified plastic surgeons, Dr. Christopher Williams and Dr. Jeremy Williams, have been guiding women through this process for years. They bring their expertise to every consultation, and they can help you decide what’s right for your body.

Why Some Women Choose a Lift After Removal

Removing implants doesn’t automatically mean you’ll need a breast lift, but it is the right choice for some women. Over time, implants stretch the skin and surrounding tissue. Once they’re gone, the breasts may sit lower on the chest or appear deflated. A breast lift, also known as a mastopexy, can reposition and reshape the breast.

Women often consider a lift if they’ve had larger implants, lost skin elasticity with age, or want to improve the balance between both breasts.

What to Expect When Getting a Breast Lift After Implant Removal

When a breast lift is performed after implant removal, both procedures are often done in the same surgery. First, your surgeon removes the breast implants and then evaluates your natural breast tissue to determine the best way to reposition your breasts.

The lift portion involves making incisions, typically around the areola and possibly extending vertically to the breast crease, to remove excess skin and tighten the surrounding tissue.

The nipple may be moved to a higher position, but it usually remains attached to preserve sensation and blood supply.

This combined procedure is performed in one of our accredited surgical suites in Lone Tree, usually under general anesthesia or IV sedation. As your healing progresses over the next several weeks, the final shape of your breasts will feel more in line with your natural body.
