Will I Ever Need to Have My Breast Implant Removed?
Breast augmentation with implants can help to create complementary dimensions between your bust and the rest of your body. Among the most popular plastic surgery offerings, millions of women undergo breast augmentation in the United States every year and, with new implant options, are often able to enjoy results for many years to come.
While modern breast implants have been crafted to last for years, there are reasons you may need or want to have yours removed. These include physical discomfort, such as the development of capsular contracture, along with aesthetic concerns, such as the development of creases or folds on the implant, implant shifting or bottoming out, and implant rupture. In some cases, the removal of breast implants is done specifically to return the breasts to their previous size, or to have a different size, shape, or type of implant placed.
No matter your concern, if you would like to discuss breast implant removal, please get in touch to schedule a consultation. Caring, thoughtful, and attentive, we are here to listen to your concerns, provide honest information about your options, and guide you towards the best ways to reach your goals.

Is Breast Augmentation a Good Fit for You?
Breast augmentation has been among the most popular plastic surgery procedures for many years – and for good reasons. The procedure, while focused on the breasts, can have a profound impact on your entire frame by improving proportions and creating contours that are both natural-looking and more desirable. If you feel like your breasts are ill-suited to your body, we welcome the opportunity to meet with you, listen to your concerns, and help you determine if breast augmentation could help you reach your goals. Use the contact form on this page or call us today to schedule a consultation and learn more.
What Can Breast Augmentation Do?
During breast augmentation surgery, implants are used to enhance the size and shape of the bust. This can help improve symmetry, create more desirable cleavage, and accentuate surrounding curves to produce a more balanced and enticing profile. Implants come in a variety of sizes and shapes, allowing for complete customization. We are pleased to offer a wide selection of options, enabling us to personalize each procedure for the most pleasing and reliable results.
Breast augmentation adds volume to the bust and is ideal for women who have lost volume due to weight fluctuations, aging, or nursing, as well as women who have never been satisfied with the size or shape of their breasts. It cannot, however, fully address breast sagging. For this issue, augmentation may need to be combined with a breast lift – an option we will be happy to discuss if it could prove useful in reaching your goals.
Am I a Good Candidate?
If you are unhappy with the appearance of your breasts, you may be a good candidate for breast surgery. Determining which procedure is something best done with the assistance of a board-certified plastic surgeon. If you are curious to learn more about the procedures that can help you reach your goals, give us a call at 717-732-9000 to schedule a consultation today.

Will a Breast Lift Reduce Cup Size?
Breast lift surgery is designed to address sagging breast tissue, also known as ptosis, and restore a firmer and perkier breast mound. Because it involves the lifting of breast tissue and removal of excess and sagging skin, breast lift may have a slight impact on cup size. It is important to note, however, that cup sizes can vary from manufacturer to manufacturer, which may result in little to no change for individual women.
Combining Breast Procedures
While a reduction in cup size does not necessarily translate to smaller breasts, if you are concerned about volume loss, it may be a good idea to consider breast augmentation in conjunction with breast lift surgery. Adding implants to your procedure can help retain or even enhance your breast size while also improving breast shape and addressing issues such as asymmetry. Being open about your aesthetic desires during your initial consultation will allow us to help you determine if breast lift alone or in combination with augmentation will produce the best results.
Am I a Good Breast Lift Candidate?
Good candidates for any breast procedure will need to be in generally good health and prepared for a surgical procedure. If you use tobacco products, you will need to stop several weeks before surgery. Some medications, herbs, and supplements may need to be avoided as well.
Ideal candidates for breast lift surgery are women who do not plan on having any more children and who have the support necessary to take a few days – up to seven – to fully rest and recover. Most women can resume normal activities within seven to fourteen days, but limitations of heavy lifting and other strenuous activities will remain in place for up to six weeks. Understating what the recovery process entails is essential for determining candidacy.
Honest and upfront, our surgeons will take time to listen to your desires, carefully cover candidacy, and help you decide if now is the best time for you to undergo a breast lift procedure.
