EXPLANT
One of the highest trending plastic surgery procedures in the Houston area is breast explant surgery. Generally speaking, breast explant surgery is a procedure in which a breast implant is removed, making this procedure’s appeal specific to those who have undergone a breast augmentation of some kind.
Breast explant surgery is capable of removing saline or silicone implants. The end results are breasts that appear to be a more natural size. Former breast augmentation patients elect to undergo this procedure for a wide variety of reasons, from overaged implants to decline in health.

Explant with Lift
For any number of reasons (aging, weight loss, pregnancy) your breasts can “droop” and begin to sag, which is why many patients will elect to undergo a breast lift procedure. Usually, over time, the ligaments that support the breasts simply wear out. This can contribute to an overall appearance that is older than you feel. Restoring your breasts to a more youthful position is a decision many women make, and in some cases may be an alternative to breast augmentation procedures. Once finished, the procedure will leave you looking more youthful overall. Electing for a Breast Lift is not a decision to take lightly, and it’s not something you should do at the request of a family member or loved one.
