Restoring Natural Contours with Elegance & Precision

Breast Implant Removal & Lift: Restoring Natural Beauty & Firmness

Breast implants are not lifelong devices, and many women choose to remove or replace them due to aging, lifestyle changes, or medical concerns. In cases where breast tissue has sagged over time, a breast lift (mastopexy) is often recommended alongside implant removal to restore a firmer, more youthful appearance.

At Dr. Gregory LaTrenta’s private practice, this procedure is performed with expert precision, ensuring a natural, refined outcome that complements each patient’s unique proportions.

Addressing Changes & Refining Results

What is a Breast Implant Removal with Lift?

Breast implant removal with lift is a two-part surgical procedure that:

  • Removes aged, ruptured, or unwanted implants
  • Eliminates capsular scar tissue (if necessary)
  • Lifts and reshapes the natural breast tissue
  • Reduces the size of enlarged areolas for better proportions
  • Restores a youthful, natural breast contour

For many women, breast implants no longer align with their aesthetic goals or lifestyle, and this procedure provides a graceful transition to a more natural look.

The Procedure: Restoring Natural Elegance

Breast implant removal with lift is performed under general anesthesia to ensure comfort and precision. Dr. LaTrenta’s meticulous surgical technique ensures optimal results with minimal scarring.

Surgical Techniques & Techniques

  • Implant & Capsule Removal – The implant and its capsular scar tissue are removed through a small inframammary incision (under the breast).
  • Breast Lift (Mastopexy) Added – If the breasts have sagged over time, a lift is performed to restore a youthful contour.
  • Areola Reduction & Repositioning – The areola is reshaped and lifted via a circumferential periareolar incision and an anchor-style lift.
  • Biodegradable Sutures – All sutures dissolve naturally, except for periareolar sutures, which are removed at 2 weeks.

Each step is designed to enhance comfort, maintain breast proportion, and deliver long-lasting beauty.

Who is the Best Candidate for Breast Implant Revision with Lift?

You may be a candidate for implant removal

with lift if:

You no longer wish to have breast implants

Your implants have ruptured, deflated, or hardened (capsular contracture)

Your breasts have sagged over time and need reshaping after implant removal

You are a non-smoker (essential for optimal healing)

You are at a stable weight and in good health to support a smooth recovery

Recovery & Aftercare: A Smooth Transition to Natural Beauty

Dr. LaTrenta provides a personalized recovery plan to ensure optimal comfort and healing.

  • Dressings & Drains – Thin drainage tubes are placed within the breast pocket to reduce swelling and prevent infection for the first few days.
  • Supportive Surgical Bra – A strong surgical support brassiere is required for 2-3 months to support healing and maintain shape.
  • Restricted Activity – Patients should refrain from exercise for 2 weeks and gradually resume normal activity after 3-4 weeks.
  • Final Results – While initial results are visible immediately, full healing occurs over 3-6 months as swelling diminishes.

Dr. LaTrenta provides a personalized follow-up plan to ensure optimal healing and beautiful results.
