Breast implant removal and lift is a procedure designed for women who no longer wish to have breast implants and want to restore a more natural, lifted breast appearance. Whether due to personal preference, lifestyle changes, complications, or concerns with implant longevity, this procedure provides a refreshed, proportionate look without the presence of implants. A breast lift is often performed at the same time to reshape and elevate the breast tissue, helping to prevent sagging that may result from implant removal.
At Cosmetic Surgery Specialists Of Memphis, this procedure is performed with care and precision by board-certified plastic surgeons Dr. Peter Aldea and Dr. Patricia Eby. With advanced training from institutions such as Columbia, Stanford, and Duke, and decades of surgical experience, they are trusted experts in breast procedures throughout Memphis.

What Is Breast Implant Removal And Lift?
This combined procedure involves two steps: the removal of existing breast implants and the lifting of the natural breast tissue. The lift component tightens the skin, repositions the nipple, and reshapes the breast to maintain a youthful and balanced appearance after the implants are taken out.
Patients may choose to undergo implant removal and lift for a number of reasons, including:
- Lifestyle or aesthetic preference changes
- Capsular contracture or implant rupture
- Breast implant illness (BII) concerns
- Desire to avoid future implant maintenance or replacement
- Aging and natural breast changes over time
A personalized surgical plan is created to address the patient’s anatomy, condition of the breast tissue, and cosmetic goals.
The Benefits Of Breast Implant Removal And Lift
This procedure offers several aesthetic and health-related advantages for the right patient. Benefits may include:
- Elimination of unwanted or uncomfortable implants
- Restoration of a natural, implant-free breast shape
- Enhanced breast firmness and projection without added volume
- Correction of sagging or deflation
- Improved symmetry and youthful contour
Many patients report renewed comfort and body confidence after removing implants and reshaping the natural tissue.
Who Is A Good Candidate For This Procedure?
Breast implant removal and lift is best suited for women who no longer wish to maintain implants and who want to restore a balanced, elevated breast appearance. Candidates should be in good health and have realistic expectations for their results.
