Benefits of Implant Removal
Breast implant removal surgery, or explant surgery, is a procedure designed to take out implants that were previously placed during an augmentation or reconstruction. Since implants aren't meant to last forever, it's recommended to have them replaced or removed every 10-15 years. If you've decided that you no longer want your implants or that it's time to replace them, you might be a good candidate for this procedure.
This surgery can also be necessary if you've developed capsular contracture, implant rupture, implant malposition, or other issues with your implants. In some cases, a breast lift may be combined with implant removal.
This surgery offers a number of benefits, including:
- Improved Comfort: Removing heavy or uncomfortable implants can alleviate neck, back, or shoulder pain.
- Improved Body Proportions: If your original implants were too large for your frame, explant surgery can achieve a more balanced and natural look.
- Greater Confidence: Some women find that after removing their implants, they feel more confident in their natural bodies.
- Reduced Risk of Complications: Removing implants can eliminate the risk of implant-related issues, such as capsular contracture or rupture.
The surgery involves removing the existing implants through the same incisions used for your initial augmentation. If necessary, Dr. Clark will also remove any scar tissue around the implant before lifting and reshaping your natural breast tissue to create a more youthful and lifted appearance.
It's important to understand that the outcome of implant removal can depend on factors like the size of the implants you had, the amount of scar tissue, and the condition of your natural breast tissue. Dr. Clark will guide you through the process to ensure the best possible results for your needs.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is implant removal right for me?
