What is Silicone Breast Implant Removal?
Silicone Breast Implant Removal is a surgical treatment intended to remove silicone breast implants that were previously inserted for augmentation or reconstruction. Over time, implants can lead to physical discomfort, changes in breast shape, or visible irregularities such as firmness or rippling. In some cases, medical conditions like capsular contracture, where scar tissue tightens around the implant, may cause pain or distortion. This treatment is designed to relieve these symptoms and eliminate the source of discomfort.
In addition to addressing physical concerns, Silicone Breast Implant Removal also allows for aesthetic adjustments. Changes in body shape, aging, or personal lifestyle choices can influence how the breasts look and feel over time. Some patients may no longer wish to maintain implants and instead prefer a return to a more natural breast appearance. This treatment supports that transition by improving comfort, enhancing symmetry, and opening the possibility for future cosmetic refinements such as reshaping or lifting the breast tissue. The overall goal is to restore a natural and balanced appearance while improving overall well-being.
How It Works
Silicone Breast Implant Removal starts with a consultation, where the doctor at our affiliated clinic evaluates the condition of the implants and surrounding breast tissue. This assessment includes reviewing symptoms such as hardness, discomfort, visible rippling, or changes in breast shape. The doctor may also check for signs of capsular contracture or other complications. Based on this evaluation, a personalized surgical plan is developed. Some patients may only need implant removal, while others may benefit from additional procedures like a breast lift or fat transfer to restore a natural contour.
On the day of surgery, the procedure is performed under local anesthesia and typically takes about 60 minutes. The doctor at our affiliated clinic carefully removes the implants, and if needed, also removes the surrounding scar tissue to improve softness and shape. A compression garment is applied after surgery to support healing. Showering is usually allowed from the following day, and sutures are removed approximately 1 week after surgery. Swelling and mild discomfort are expected, with noticeable improvement within 1 to 2 weeks. Follow-up visits with the doctor help ensure proper recovery and optimal results as the breasts gradually settle into a more natural appearance.
