During your visit, we will review your concerns, medical history, and goals. The provider evaluates implant type, breast tissue, and skin quality to guide planning.
A treatment plan is created based on your anatomy and desired outcome. This may include implant removal alone or removal with capsulectomy and possible reshaping.
The procedure is performed under anesthesia. Incisions are often placed along existing scar lines when possible. The surgeon will remove breast implants and address surrounding tissue as needed to support healing and contour

You may be a good candidate if:
You experience discomfort, tightness, or pain
You notice changes in the implant shape or position
You are concerned about implant integrity
You prefer a more natural breast size

Breast implant removal is a surgical procedure that involves taking out saline or silicone implants. In some cases, the surgeon may also remove or treat the surrounding scar tissue, known as the capsule, to support better healing and a more natural-looking result.
Recovery after breast implant removal varies from patient to patient. Many return to light activities within 1 to 2 weeks, while swelling continues to subside over the following weeks.
Breast implant removal provides long-lasting results because the implants are removed. Even so, natural aging and lifestyle factors can influence breast appearance over time.
Some patients choose to combine breast implant removal with a breast lift to address skin laxity and shape. This depends on individual anatomy and goals discussed during consultation.
