Breast augmentation can accentuate a woman’s overall appearance by giving her larger and fuller breasts. However, patients may become unsatisfied with their breast implants and want them removed, whether due to initial dissatisfaction, recurring discomfort, postoperative complications, or changes in lifestyle and preferences. Fortunately, breast implant removal surgery can alleviate your dissatisfaction with your breast implants and provide you with emotional and physical relief.
Some women who underwent breast augmentation in the past decide to return to their natural cup size. When combined with breast lift surgery or fat grafting, breast implant removal can reshape your breasts and restore your bust to its natural appearance.
Breast augmentation patients may experience complications like capsular contracture or implant illness after their procedure. Breast implant removal can address these conditions, ultimately improving your health and overall quality of life.
Women who feel their breast implants no longer reflect who they truly are might feel self-conscious about their appearance. Breast implant removal can not only restore your breasts to their previous cup size, but it can also improve how you feel about your body.
During your consultation, you will discuss your reasons for wanting to remove your breast implants. You will also need to present your medical records, especially the records for your breast augmentation procedure. The plastic surgeon will conduct a detailed examination of the patient, especially in the breast area.
The results of the examination and the records of the previous breast augmentation surgery will be considered when developing the treatment plan. To help with your preparation, the plastic surgeon will provide specific instructions, including the medications, supplements, and diet allowed prior to the scheduled procedure.
Individual factors such as body build, breast size, and breast shape will determine the appropriate implant size and surgical approach to fulfill your needs.
Breast implant removal alone is ideal for women who would like their implants removed and who do not seek further enhancement. During your procedure, the incision made during your previous breast procedure is reopened, through which the implants and scar tissue are carefully removed. The treated area is then cleaned, and the incision is closed using surgical sutures.
Some women who decide to have their implants removed may be left with a significant amount of breast sagging. Breast implant removal with breast lift surgery can remove your breast implants and raise the breasts to create a more youthful, perky bustline. This technique can also reposition and resize the nipple-areolar complex.
For the best results, you can combine your breast implant removal procedure with breast lift surgery and fat grafting. Once your implants are removed, breast lift surgery can lift the breasts to a higher position on your chest while fat grafting restores volume to the breasts. This combination of procedures is designed to create a natural and aesthetically pleasing bust.
The cost of the breast implant removal procedure depends on the treatment plan. The anesthesia administered and facility used during the breast implant removal surgery also add to the overall price of the procedure.
If you will be having a breast implant removal for medical purposes, contact your healthcare provider to find out if they will cover the cost of the procedure.
