Do I Need to Remove My Breast Implants?

There are many reasons why someone might want to have their breast implants removed. It could be simply for aesthetic reasons, one of your implants might have been damaged, you may have decided your original implants were too large, or you may have an underlying health reason, such as breast cancer or capsular contraction, that makes you decide to remove the beast implants.

Why Are Breast Implants Removed?

In addition to the reasons mentioned above, your plastic surgeon may recommend the removal of your breast implants if you develop an infection, necrotic tissue, or bleeding. In addition, if you develop a calcium build-up or experience capsular contracture, the implants may need to be removed. Most often, this is the result of having the implant surgery performed by an inexperienced or uncertified physician.

What Does Breast Implant Removal Surgery Entail?

The procedure to remove breast implants simply removes the actual implant material and then our skilled surgeons reconstruct the breast area. Depending on the reason for the removal, some women opt to have the implants removed without replacement. This is often due to underlying damage or injury, or because of breast cancer. However, we can also replace the implants with new implants, either of a different material or size. We can also revise the implant if the shape is not right.

How Long Does the Breast Implant Removal Surgery Take?

In most cases the surgery takes a few hours. It may be more or less depending on the other accompanying procedures and whether or not any reconstruction is required. For many women, removal of breast implants is an emotional decision or driven by underlying health conditions, so it can be a very stressful time.

Benefits of an Eyebrow Lift

First impressions are crucial, and when those first impressions are now made as often on camera as they are in person, your appearance is a significant part of your presence. The eyes and forehead are big revealers of a person’s age, because as you age, your skin loosens and sags. This causes the skin around your eyes and forehead to appear wrinkled and creased, especially as the supporting musculature in the forehead and brow become laxer.

What Can an Eyebrow Lift Do to Improve My Appearance?

Have you started noticing more wrinkles in your forehead, or sagging above your eyes? The loss of musculature can make you appear tired, sad, or angry. People may even ask you If you had a bad night’s sleep or ask you what’s wrong. An eyebrow lift can help restore your youthful appearance, smooth out forehead wrinkles, and prevent your eyes from looking as puffy or saggy.

Am I a Good Candidate for an Eyebrow Lift?

If you struggle with any of the concerns we’ve described, and you’re in reasonably good health, you may be a good candidate for eyebrow lift surgery. You should not have any heart conditions, and you should be a non-smoker and non-vaper for the best results. The procedure can smooth the wrinkles in your forehead, raise and reposition the brow, restoring brow arches, minimizing the appearance of sagging eyelids, and smooth the furrow between your brows. We can also remove excess skin and smooth crow’s feet.

Natural-Looking Results

When performed by board-certified, experienced plastic surgeons, brow lift surgery offers the option for a subtle and natural-looking change to a man or woman’s appearance. Instead of receiving comments about “getting a little work done on your face,” you’ll have people telling you that you look so relaxed, refreshed, or even happy.
