“I’m 61 y/o with 25 plus yr. old silicone implants placed subglandular. I am tall and very thin. I am not replacing the implants, but have had 2 opinions on needing a breast lift. One P.S. said I need one and the other said I do not need one. Any opinions looking at my photo? Is it best to wait or do Mastopexy at the same time of explantation? I am having pain so would like to proceed soon. Hope the photo helps with any opinions? Thank you!”, a RealSelf user asked.
“Thank you for your question and posting the picture. Before undergoing any surgical procedure I would recommend seeing get board-certified plastic surgeon with expertise in this area who will then order an MRI of you breasts preoperatively. Since you have complaints of pain in your breasts the possibility of a leak in one or both breasts must be ruled out preoperatively. Depending on the findings of the MRI the surgical procedure performed will include replacing implants and placing new ones under the muscle or removing the implants that you currently have and staging the possible lift procedure for at least three months postoperatively.”, Aristocrat’s certified surgeon Dr. Kevin Tehrani, M.D., F.A.C.S explained.
