Revisionary breast procedures may include breast implant removal, a change in size, or a switch from saline to silicone.
During such procedures, some patients may benefit from a breast lift, when down sizing or after weight changes. Over time, skin loses its elasticity, which requires excess skin to be removed and/or tightened. The amount and degree are determined by the patient’s desired breast size and the amount of elasticity remaining in your skin.
Site location, above or below the muscle, as well as the type of implant (saline or silicone) will also determine the appropriate procedure and your final result. In some circumstances, patients may not need a lift and instead may benefit from a site change.
