Breast Implant Removal
What is Breast Implant Removal Surgery?
Breast implants are medical devices that are surgically placed over or under the pectoral muscle to enhance the breasts. Thousands of women undergo breast augmentation with implants each year for improvements in size, projection, symmetry, and shape.
Breast implant surgery is associated with a high rate of patient satisfaction. However, since every patient is unique, breast implants are not the ideal solution for everyone.
Breast implant removal, or explant surgery, is often the best option when these popular medical devices become a source of physical discomfort and/or emotional distress. We can also perform this procedure for patients whose initial implant surgery was botched by a previous provider.
Right for You?
When you meet with us for your initial consultation, you can share your specific concerns regarding the physical symptoms and/or aesthetic preferences that you wish to resolve with explant surgery. We will also physically examine your breasts and review your medical and surgical history in order to determine your candidacy.
Medical and cosmetic issues that may indicate that you are a candidate for breast implant removal include:
You have ruptured, leaking, and/or degrading implants.
You suffer from physical discomfort due to tightness, hardened scar tissue, the weight of your implants, and/or breast implant illness symptoms.
You are dissatisfied with the size, shape, and/or position of your implants.
Ideal candidates for breast implant removal are patients who are in good general health and do not smoke. Candidates must also agree to follow all of our pre- and post-surgery instructions.

Grade one denotes an asymptomatic case that will not jeopardize the success of breast implant surgery.
Grade two capsular contracture is associated with minor cosmetic concerns that do not distort the breast shape but will contribute to palpable, yet mild, firming.
A designation of grade three is applicable when the breasts no longer feel or look natural due to more advanced hardening. Many grade three capsular contracture patients will need implant removal surgery to resolve concerns relating to breast shape and the density of hardened tissue.
Capsular contracture cases classified as grade four are characterized by unnaturally hard and severely misshapen breasts, as well as significant pain in the breast area. Breast implant removal will be needed in the vast majority of grade four cases of capsular contracture.
How to Prepare for Breast Implant Removal
