Reasons to Remove Your Implants

  • You Prefer a Smaller Breast Size

    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.

  • You Are Experiencing Complications

    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.

  • Your Implants No Longer Suit Your Lifestyle

    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.

Your Breast Implant Removal Consultation

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.

Your Breast Implant Procedure Options

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

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.

Breast Implant Removal With Lift

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.

Breast Implant Removal With Lift and Fat Grafting

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.

Concerns

  • Recovery
  • Scars
  • Pain
  • Following your procedure, you will be asked to wear a surgical dressing to support your new breasts. A drainage tube may also be placed to collect any excess fluid or blood. Swelling and bruising will occur but should resolve after a few weeks. Most patients can resume their normal activities three weeks after their surgery. Make sure you avoid all strenuous activities for at least six weeks or unless instructed otherwise by your surgeon.
  • Depending on the type of technique used for your procedure, there may be some scarring. However, scars can be hidden underneath clothing and will continue to fade over time.
  • You will experience some discomfort following your breast implant removal procedure. Dr. Reichner can prescribe medicine to help minimize any postoperative pain.

The Cost of Breast Implant Removal

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.
