I had a lift done around 7 yrs ago and now I was thinking about implants. Can they be inserted threw my old scars?

Answers from doctors (5)


Prior scars can be utilized for augmentation access, assuming adequate size. This is commonly performed with or without a revision lift.

As always, discuss your concerns with a board-certified plastic surgeon (ABPS).
