A member asked:

Can you tell me about breast implant removal?

4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Breast implant: Removal is surgical procedure that usually is performed under anesthesia. If the procedure is just to remove implants, the procedure is rather short. If however, it is due to a complication such as capsular contracture or implant rupture, the procedure may be more involved. If the implants are large, the skin may be stretched out and a breast lift may be needed to repair any droop that occurs.

Breast implant removal or explant surgery is for those who want to remove their implant(s). There are many possible reasons behind this: · The limited lifespan of implants · Dissatisfaction with the outcome of the first implant procedure · Changes in breast symmetry · Rippling and rupture · Capsular contracture · Breast implant autoimmune disease
