Breast implants don’t always last forever. Some women get rid of their implants because they have simply worn out over time. Or, complications sometimes occur, such as a rupture or capsular contracture that requires the implants to be removed.

About the procedure

What is Breast Implant Removal? Breast implant removal is a surgical procedure performed when a patient wishes to remove or reposition the breast implants used during their initial breast augmentation surgery. Whether it is due to a new desired size or accidental damage, our doctors can replace and reposition new implants to restore and improve the youthful look you once had. Register for a consultation to learn about the options for implants and to evaluate which route is best for you.

Before, during & after

Reasons for getting a Breast Implant Removal: There are a variety of reasons breast implants may be removed or revised. It is important to note that breast implants are not actually meant to last a lifetime, but rather a few decades at most. Your breast implants may need to be removed or replaced if you are experiencing any of the following problems: - Capsular contracture (scar tissue tightens and hardens around one or both implants) - Implant rupture or leakage - Implant visible, palpable or rippling - Poor implant placement or bottoming out - Poor outcome of your initial breast augmentation - Regret about the size of your breast implants - Regret about your decision to get breast implants

Operation: Revision surgery is performed very similarly to how the initial breast augmentation was performed. You will be placed under general anesthesia and your incisions will be opened and closed the same way unless you decide to have different implants inserted that require different techniques. If you are having your breast implants removed and choose not to have them replaced, the surgical procedure may more closely resemble a breast lift.

Recovery: Recovering from revision surgery is usually quicker than your initial breast augmentation recovery. However, some changes may result in slightly more pain and downtime.
