The scar tissue from breast surgery varies depending on the procedure. For implant removal and replacement, the same incision as your previous surgery, typically under the breast crease, is used. This allows for old implants to be removed and replaced. If implants are removed without replacement, the same approach is followed, but new implants are not added.
Some choose to combine implant removal with a breast lift to reshape natural breast tissue. This may require new incisions around the nipple and towards the breast crease to achieve desired results.
This combined approach is common as skin can stretch around implants, leaving excess loose skin once they are removed. Combining surgeries can lead to higher satisfaction and better alignment with cosmetic goals.
