Is Breast Implant Removal or Replacement Right for You?

Women seek breast augmentation for a variety of personal reasons.  Women also seek breast implant removal or replacement for number of reasons.   Some women note dissatisfaction with breast changes that have occurred following pregnancy, menopause, general aging or weight loss, and may desire a different breast size or shape.  Other common reasons for revision may include formation of capsular contracture, implant rupture, or desire for a different type of implant material than what was originally placed.  

You have many options including removing the implants altogether, downsizing or upsizing your implants, or exchanging implants from saline to silicone.  These options may also be performed with or without a concurrent breast lifting procedure.   


A thorough breast examination and consultation with Board Certified Plastic Surgeon, David S. Motoki, M.D.  is the first step towards deciding what option is best for you!

What is a Mommy Makeover?

Just as children are different and unique, so are the effects which having children can produce on a woman’s body.   The degree of these changes is unique to each ‘mommy’.   Following pregnancy many women note that even after they ‘lose the baby weight’ they are left with subtle, or not so subtle, changes in their figures.  A mommy makeover surgical intervention is a popular option for restoring and enhancing a woman’s body. 

Most women who seek a mommy makeover have experienced some degree of breast changes, which can include a decrease or increase in breast size, sagging, or disproportionate areola size.   Abdominal changes may include stretch marks, skin laxity and separation of the abdominal wall muscles, or
stubborn fat deposits that do not adequately respond to diet and exercise.  In addition, some women note undesirable changes in the labia minora.   A mommy makeover may include a combination of  breast augmentation, breast lift, tummy tuck, labiaplasty and liposuction to rejuvenate the post-pregnancy body.
