Breast Implants

When it comes to breast implant removal, patients may decide to pursue explantation for personal preferences or health concerns. For women who elect to remove their breast implants due to medical or health-related reasons, new guidance from the Breast Surgery Collaborative Community (BSCC) may help narrow down the safest, most effective technique to extract implants and restore a natural-looking breast shape for each patient. The Breast Surgery Collaborative Community (BSCC) is composed of a collection of board-certified plastic surgeons and breast surgery safety advocates, some of them also maintaining membership to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS), Breast Implant Safety Alliance, and The Aesthetic Society among other national organizations. Recent findings from the BSCC offer clarity for women interested in removing their implants, suggesting... Continue Reading

Whether you’re interested in removing your implants because you no longer desire a larger breast size, or you wish to extract them for your own peace of mind, breast implant removal from our Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon in Orlando can help you regain your original breast contours. Unfortunately, years — even decades — of implant use tends to stretch the skin and increase breast laxity, making the breasts look elongated, flat, or pendulous once their implants are removed. This doesn’t happen for all breast augmentation patients, but additional treatment may be required for women who are unhappy with the appearance of their breasts post-surgery. The possibility of further surgery usually depends on:  The size and volume of the implants The length of time the implants were... Continue Reading

Breast implants can offer a dynamic and long-lasting way to improve the size, volume, shape, and symmetry of the breasts. By providing patients with the ability to truly achieve the custom contours they envision, breast implants are considered an integral part of aesthetic surgery. If you’ve ever considered cosmetic procedures to enhance your breasts, you may have wondered whether breast implants can address breast ptosis or sagging. Drooping or elongated breast tissue is an extremely common effect of aging, pregnancy, and weight loss on the breasts. While medically harmless, our board-certified plastic surgeon understands that breast sag can sacrifice a youthful look in the chest and potentially inhibit self-confidence. Each person’s needs and aesthetic concerns are evaluated on an individual basis, but in general, breast... Continue Reading

Breast implants can offer a life-changing enhancement to your curves and confidence, allowing women dissatisfied with their chest to achieve the youthful, voluptuous breast contours they’ve always desired. Unfortunately, saline and silicone implants are not infallible. While capable of providing beautiful, long-term results, breast implants were not designed to be lifetime devices. Over time, certain issues may affect your implants and warrant a secondary breast revision procedure; however, the majority of patients do not ever feel a need to replace their breast implants unless they want to exchange their devices for a newer type, size, or fill-material.  After breast augmentation, most women don’t experience severe problems that warrant replacing their implants. However, the following complications may require additional treatment to further improve the outcome: Rippling:... Continue Reading

According to recent data published in The Aesthetic Surgery Journal, there has been a worldwide increase in patients seeking to remove their breast implants through en bloc capsulectomy or another explantation procedure. The motivations behind patients’ request for breast implant removal lie in systemic symptoms — such as joint pain, autoimmune diseases, confusion, chronic fatigue, and muscle aches — attributed to their breast implants. While not enough data is available to determine individual risk factors for conditions such as Breast Implant Illness (BII) and Silicone Incompatibility Syndrome (SOS), self-described symptoms have been associated with all types of implants, including saline, silicone, gel-filled, smooth, and textured devices. In some patients, removing breast implants has been shown to improve or even eliminate their symptoms. ISAPS states that... Continue Reading

As we age, our bodies change in response to some of life’s biggest moments. Specifically, the appearance of firm and youthful breasts can fluctuate with age and multiple factors usually contribute to these developments. From pregnancy and breastfeeding to weight fluctuations, the breast contours tend to look flatter and less shapely over time. Menopause and the natural aging process are also contributing factors, especially when the body starts producing less estrogen. While the age-related changes to your breasts vary from patient to patient according to genetics and unique lifestyle factors, there are certain concerns widely shared by women as they get older. Many patients want to improve: Breasts that look elongated, have lost volume, or appear deflated A decrease in skin elasticity and firmness Nipples... Continue Reading

It’s no surprise that the breasts tend to lose support, volume, and shape over time. While the cause of unwanted breast changes ranges from lifestyle factors to genetic predisposition, a flatter or more “tubular” appearance in the bust may result from: Changing estrogen levels and other hormone fluctuations: Estrogen naturally decreases as women get older, leading to changes in the breast tissue. The skin is not as hydrated and elastic as it used to be, which may cause a smaller breast size and a noticeable reduction in volume. These effects are often compounded by reduced collagen and elastin production in the body, particularly for individuals who have gone through menopause. Pregnancy and weight loss: The skin naturally expands and shrinks according to your body shape,... Continue Reading
