Breast Implant Removal Before and After in Raleigh, NC
Patients seeking a breast implant removal specialist in North Carolina often choose Dr. Glenn Lyle for his experience and expertise. There are a variety of reasons why women choose to have their breast implants removed; One of the most common is that they feel that her breasts are now too large or uncomfortable. Fear of breast implant illness or other related breast implant problems can also be a motivating factor in deciding upon explantation.
This 34-year-old woman had a prior breast reduction when she was in her late teens. She ended up gaining a lot of weight after pregnancy and ultimately underwent a bariatric procedure. She had an augmentation mastopexy and abdominoplasty by another surgeon but she was immediately unhappy with the large size of the breast implants. Over the years they were uncomfortable and she had concerns about how these large implants would do as she aged. She underwent breast implant removal without replacement. Initially she was considering downsizing but decided she did not want to have to worry about her implants for the rest of her life so an explantation and redo lift was performed by Dr. Lyle. He also did some additional liposuction and revision of the abdominoplasty. She was very happy with the improvement now feeling more natural and having less discomfort with her large implants removed. She had 540 cc gel implants and despite losing all of that volume she still had a reasonable breast size that made her feel much slimmer.
