Many women, for a variety of different reasons, desire to remove their breast implants. One of the biggest concerns is “how will my breasts look after removing my implants”? Dr Q’s Breast Flaps after Explants offers an innovative and personal approach to addressing a common concern for women undergoing explant surgery.
Many women, for a variety of different reasons, desire to remove their breast implants. One of the biggest concerns is “how will my breasts look after removing my implants”? Even more concerning is the fear that a woman’s breasts may even look “deformed” after explanations alone. The typical acquired deformity that we as Plastic Surgeons “warn about” after explanations- is the volume loss that can sometimes create a “concave in” deformity- or “caved-in” look of the upper and central breast- the area of volume loss behind the nipple after removing the implant. This type of volume loss can NOT be corrected with breast lifts alone. For the appropriate candidate, Dr Q has taken her knowledge and training in Breast Reconstructive surgery to help prevent this look and acquired deformity. By performing a new and intuitive, intraoperative technique, Dr Q performs a re-arrangement of the soft-tissues of the breasts to create a fuller-looking breast- particularly in the specific area of volume loss after removing the breast implants. By transposing a patient’s own tissues into the “cavity” created by the explants, Dr Q gives women a much prettier and fuller yet natural-looking breast result after explanations
This 65-year-old patient with large, old silicone gel implants wished to have them removed without replacement. She desired to reduce from a D to DD-cup size to a smaller B/C-cup size while maintaining natural fullness. She was a suitable candidate for Bilateral Explantations followed by Autologous (Dr Q) Breast Tissue Flaps to achieve desired volume and avoid concave deformities post-surgery.
This 65-year-old patient with old saline implants wanted them removed to reduce from a 36-E to a smaller B/C cup size. She underwent Bilateral Explantations and Autologous Breast Tissue Flaps transfer, achieving natural volume without concave deformities. At just 4 months post-surgery, she is delighted with the results, describing the procedure as life-changing and expressing regret for not discovering it sooner!
