Reasons for Breast Implant Removal

Patients typically choose breast implant removal or replacement for one of three reasons: medical, comfort, or aesthetic. Each reason is valid and can be a sign that having your implants removed or replaced is the right choice for you.
Capsular Contracture

Scar tissue can form in the capsule around the implants. If this breast tissue hardens and tightens, it can lead to discomfort and compromised breast appearance. Possible solutions include in block capsulectomy.

implant rupture or damage

Implants can rupture from damage or age. Saline implants will visibly deflate, but the saline can be absorbed by the body. A ruptured silicone implant may require an imaging study for a definitive diagnosis.

Implant Age

While implants can last for years, they do have a shelf life. Most patients can expect to have about 10 to 15 years in which implants stay in good shape. Beyond that, the FDA recommends replacing them to avoid complications.

Removal Only:

Particularly in medical cases, implant removal alone may be best. This involves removing the implant and addressing any health-related concerns.

Change Implant Type:

Patients who are dissatisfied with the look or feel of their implants may benefit from an implant exchange. For example, a patient with saline implants could replace them with silicone implants. Or you could choose a different implant size and profile that may be more appropriate for you.

Signs Breast Implant Removal Is Right for You.

A candidate for breast implant removal usually wants to address:

  • Complications or illness: If you have experienced any medical symptoms due to breast implants, removing them may be important.
  • Dissatisfaction with breast appearance: Whether you want to return to your pre-pregnancy breast size or further increase breast size.
  • Peace of mind: Some patients prefer to have peace of mind by removing recalled textured implants to avoid the potential risks involved.
