Why Have Breast Implants Removed?

Breast implants are not meant to last a lifetime. Over time, they can rupture, leak, or shift position, leading to discomfort and unsatisfactory results. The lifespan of breast implants varies depending on the type of implant and other factors, but on average, they can last anywhere from 10 to 20 years. After this time, it is recommended that women have their implants checked regularly and consider removal or replacement if any issues arise.

There are several reasons to choose to have breast implants removed including:

Problems with the implants, such as rupture, leakage, or capsular contracture (a hardening of the tissue around the implant)
Dissatisfaction with the appearance of the implants, such as size, shape, or position
A desire to return to natural breasts
A change in lifestyle or personal preferences

Breast Implant Removal Procedure

The breast implant removal procedure is similar to the breast augmentation procedure, but in reverse:

Anesthesia: The patient will be given anesthesia to ensure they are comfortable during the procedure.
Incision: The surgeon will make an incision in the breast area to access the implant.
Implant removal: The surgeon will carefully remove the implant, along with any scar tissue.
Closure: The incision will be closed with sutures.
Recovery: The patient will be monitored in a recovery area before being discharged.

Removal of Breast Implants is Enhanced with a Breast Lift

Removing breast implants can result in excess skin and tissue, which can lead to sagging or drooping breasts. In such cases, Dr. Bolitho may recommend a breast lift procedure. This removes excess skin and tissue while lifting and reshaping the breasts to create a more youthful and natural-looking appearance. In some cases, removal of breast implants will be combined with a mastopexy or lift.

The surgeon will make incisions around the areola and down to the breast crease. The excess skin and tissue will be removed, and the remaining skin will be tightened and lifted to create a more youthful appearance. The nipples may also be repositioned to a higher location on the breast.
