What Is Breast Implant Removal?
Breast implant removal, also known as explantation, is a surgical procedure to remove breast implants either for medical reasons or personal preference. This procedure may be performed to address complications, such as implant rupture, capsular contracture, or dissatisfaction with the appearance of the breasts.
What Are the Common Breast Appearance Concerns After Implant Removal?
Common concerns after implant removal include changes in breast shape, volume loss, sagging or drooping of the breasts, asymmetry, visible scarring, and breast tissue recovery. These changes may occur due to skin elasticity, implant size, duration of implantation, and individual anatomy.
What Surgery Should I Have After Breast Implant Removal?
The choice of surgery after breast implant removal depends on your aesthetic goals and the condition of your breasts. Some standard options include:
Breast Lift After Implant Removal
Breast lift surgery is designed to reshape and elevate the breasts by eliminating excess skin and tightening the surrounding tissue. This procedure helps restore a more youthful and lifted appearance to the breasts after implant removal.
Fat Grafting to the Breast After Implant Removal
Fat grafting, or autologous fat transfer, involves harvesting fat from one body area (such as the abdomen or thighs) via liposuction and grafting it into the breasts to enhance volume and improve contour. Fat grafting post-implant removal is particularly beneficial for restoring natural-looking breast volume after implant removal.
Breast Reduction After Implant Removal
A breast reduction is recommended for women who experience discomfort or dissatisfaction with the size of their breasts after implant removal. This procedure involves eliminating excess breast tissue and reshaping the breasts to achieve a more proportionate appearance.
What Should You Expect During Recovery After Breast Correction Surgery?
Recovery after breast correction surgery varies depending on the type of procedure performed. Patients can expect a degree of bruising, swelling, and discomfort in the days following surgery. Following your surgeon’s post-operative instructions carefully and attending follow-up appointments for optimal healing and results is essential.
How Do I Choose the Right Surgeon for Post-Implant Breast Correction?
Choosing the right plastic surgeon for post-implant breast reconstruction is crucial for achieving safe and satisfactory outcomes. When selecting your surgeon, consider their experience, qualifications, board certification, before and after photos of previous patients, and testimonials.
