Combining With Other Procedures
In certain cases, breast implant removal can be combined with other procedures concurrently. As previously mentioned, common combination procedures often involve adding fat grafting for improved breast shape and contour, or performing a breast lift for elevation. This can also serve as an opportunity for liposuction contouring, if patients desire more extensive liposuction. Patients should be prepared to discuss their personal goals with their surgeon prior to the procedure, facilitating the development of an optimized and tailored plan.
