Restores Comfort and Natural Breast Shape After Implant Issues
Silicone implant removal helps address discomfort, tightness, and breast hardening caused by capsular contracture or aging implants. Over time, implants may lead to rippling, asymmetry, or a shape that no longer aligns with your goals, impacting your comfort and confidence. By removing the implants, we can restore a softer, more natural breast contour while alleviating the discomfort associated with hardened or displaced implants. For many patients, this procedure offers a chance to feel more comfortable in daily life and regain confidence in their appearance.
-
Minimal Scarring Using Previous Incision for Implant Removal
The procedure is typically performed by reopening the previous incision line used during your initial breast augmentation, which keeps additional scarring minimal and discreet. Using the same incision site allows us to safely and efficiently remove the implant and any surrounding scar tissue with reduced trauma to the surrounding skin and breast tissue. This method supports a smoother recovery and allows you to return to your daily routine more comfortably, knowing that visible new scarring will be minimal.
-
Option for Implant Replacement or Fat Grafting During Same Procedure
During implant removal, you have the option to replace your old implants with new ones or choose fat grafting to maintain breast volume naturally. Fat grafting uses your own fat to contour and shape the breasts for a softer, more natural feel while avoiding the long-term maintenance associated with implants. This flexibility allows you to customize your treatment according to your current aesthetic goals, lifestyle, and health needs, ensuring you achieve a balanced, natural, and rejuvenated appearance after removal.
-
Downtime after Silicon Implant Removal
After the procedure, expect some mild swelling and bruising for a few days; the bruising usually disappears within 10 days. Mild discomfort, similar to muscle soreness, may be felt for a few days but is generally manageable. Stitches are removed one week after surgery unless Dermabond is used, in which case removal is unnecessary. You can wash your face and hair from the next day. Lower body showers are allowed from the next day while keeping the upper body dry, with full-body showers allowed from day 3. Bathing in a tub is permitted from day 7. Please follow these guidelines to support smooth healing and recovery.

Option for Replacement or Fat Grafting to Maintain Volume
During removal, you can choose to replace your implants with new ones or opt for fat grafting to maintain volume naturally. This flexibility allows you to align your aesthetic goals and lifestyle while ensuring your breast maintains a natural, beautiful shape.
TREATMENT PROCESS
-
Doctor Consultation and Counseling
The doctor will conduct an examination to assess the condition of your implants (checking for issues like rupture or capsular contracture) and the degree of skin laxity. We will listen to your reasons for wanting the removal and discuss your concerns and desired outcome. After a detailed explanation of the surgical method, risks, and costs, we will schedule a date for the surgery once you are comfortable proceeding.

Design and Anesthesia
On the day of the surgery, we will perform a final check of your health status, and the surgeon will mark the incision sites. The procedure is typically performed under general anesthesia. An anesthesiologist will administer your anesthesia safely and monitor you carefully during the entire surgery.

Procedure
Once the anesthesia is fully effective, the surgeon will make an incision, often along the scar from your original surgery. The implant and the surrounding scar tissue capsule will be carefully removed. After ensuring hemostasis (control of bleeding), a surgical drain may be placed if necessary to remove excess fluid, and the incision will be meticulously sutured closed.

Aftercare
Post-surgery, you will rest in a recovery room until you have fully awakened from the anesthesia, at which point you can be discharged. You will be fitted with a special support garment or surgical bra to stabilize your chest. We will provide detailed instructions on at-home care, prescribed medications, and your schedule for follow-up appointments. If you have any questions or concerns after your surgery, please do not hesitate to contact us.
