Yes, : Yes, these can be peformed at the same time if necessary.

Discuss the feasibility of performing the two simultaneously with a board certified plastic surgeon.

Yes.: It is certainly possible to have breast lifting performed at the same time as removal of breast implants, in most cases. Sometimes, it is better to wait and see how the breast skin will “bounce back” before making a decision whether or not breast lifting will be helpful. Sometimes, because of blood flow concerns, it is better to “stage” the breast lift procedure ( separate surgery).

Absolutely: Except for complicated cases with ruptured silicone gel implants, it it usually possible to remove the skin excess with the breast implants and provide a more shapely breast. This is similar to breast reduction surgery when breast tissue is removed and a lift is performed. Be certain to seek an experienced, board certified plastic surgeon.

Breast lift timing: It is perfectly appropriate to have a lift at the same time as an implant removal. However you should discuss the option of implant replacement at the time.

You plastic surgeon should be able to give you a real assessment about your need for a lift an the expected result.
