What Is Breast Implant Replacement Or Removal Surgery?
A Breast Implant is a prosthesis used to alter the size and shape of a woman’s breasts (known as breast augmentation, breast enlargement, mammoplasty enlargement, augmentation mammoplasty ) for cosmetic reasons, to reconstruct the breast(e.g. After a mastectomy or to correct congenital chest wall deformities), or as an aspect of male-to-female gender transition. Breast implants are a synthetic product and they are not intended to last forever. In the case that they fail or get old, they will have to be removed or replaced.
Breast augmentation revision surgery is necessary when a patient experiences a problem with her implants or changes her preferences. Breast implants do not have an expiration date, but it is nonetheless prudent to prepare for revision surgery in the future. To ensure continued satisfaction from your breast augmentation, it is best to partner with a cosmetic surgeon that you trust.

The Surgery
Breast implant removal is a relatively straightforward procedure.the implant is typically approached through the same surgical incisions as your original breast augmentation. Surgery may be as short as one hour, but this will vary depending on your particular condition.
After Breast Implant Exchange
Removing breast implants carries a possibility for an undesirable aesthetic outcome, especially if you have had them for several year’s. When breast augmentation is first performed, the skin stretches to accommodate the implants. If they are removed, it is likely that your skin will not shrink back to a satisfactory state.
While it is possible that your breasts will return to their pre-augmentation appearance, most patients will benefit from another cosmetic procedure. Your plastic surgeon may recommend a breast lift to tighten the tissues and excess skin. To meet your appearance goals, he or she may also recommend a different implant size or different implant type.
What Is Involved?
- During your pre-operative consultation you will be able to see breast implants of various shapes and sizes.
- This will give you the best possible idea of how you may look following your breast implant replacement operation.
- Most surgeons will use your old scar to remove your old implant.
- If you have decided to increase the size of your existing breast implant your surgeon may need to perform an internal release of the breast capsule surrounding your breast implant(capsulectomy).
- This will make more space for the implant and can improve the appearance of the cleavage area.
- Breast implant removal or replacement usually takes between 1-2 hours to complete.
- Surgery is normally performed under a general anesthetic and you will need to stay in hospital overnight.
Reasons For Breast Implant Revision Or Removal Surgery
Patients may decide to exchange their breast implants or remove them completely. This may be due to a complication, unrelated medical problem or change in preferences. Several years after surgery, you may decide that your lifestyle has changed and your breast implants need to be removed or reduced in size. Some possible reasons for breast augmentation revision/removal are below:
- wrinkling of the implant
- breast implant rupture
- scar tissue around breast implant
- implant out of position
- unnatural nipple position
- need for scar revision
- reduction of areola
- breast sagging
- change in size preferences
- change to Silicone breast implants
Can Breast Implants Be Removed?
Breast implant removal is relatively simple. The procedure may take as little as one hour and the same incisions are typically used to access the implant. However, there is potential for a poor aesthetic outcome, especially if your implants were placed many years ago and the level of skin elasticity has decreased. The breast lift is one solution that may be able to mitigate the negative outcomes of breast implant removal.
Recovery
- Most people will be able to carry out light duties the day after your operation.
- Strenuous activity, however, should be avoided for at least 4 to 5 weeks.
- Most people will be able to return to work within 2 weeks, although you may need slightly longer if your job involves performing physical duties.
Possible Side Effects
- The possible complications and side effects following surgery are similar to those of breast enlargement.
- As with any operation there is a higher risk of complications such as capsular contraction with any corrective surgery.
Benefits
- An improved cosmetic appearance and feel of the breasts.
- Correction of any physical symptoms the patient may be suffering from, such as pain from capsular contracture.
- An enhanced self esteem and improved body image when the distorted appearance of the breast is corrected.

FAQ’s
Breast implant removal surgery is a popular option for those who change their minds about their breast augmentation and wish to return to their naturally smaller size. Implant replacement surgery provides solutions for women whose implants have rippled, hardened, changed shape, or shifted position. Over time, even the most successfully placed implants may rupture or leak, and should be replaced. Typically, breast implants last between 10 and 15 years; after this, implant revision surgery will typically become necessary in order to maintain volume and shape.
While many people are under the assumption that “bad” breast implants simply refers to implants that appear unnatural, the term more accurately describes breast augmentations that are aesthetically displeasing as a result of complications such as:
- Rippling
- Capsular contracture
- Implant displacement
These complications can be corrected with breast implant revision surgery, which involves removing or replacing the affected implants.
Most surgeons recommend breast implant replacement rather than breast implant removal. Implant removal surgery is more complicated than a replacement procedure, with heightened potential for bleeding and infection. For some women, though, breast implant removal is the preferred option. Women who suffer pain and rheumatological symptoms show a marked health improvement when implants are removed completely, rather than replaced. In fact, women who suffer from autoimmune diseases such as arthritis, MS, and lupus may be especially sensitive to substances found in implants, such as silicone. If you elect to have your breast implants removed, choosing a surgeon experienced in breast implant revision surgery is crucial to ensuring successful results. Because removing implants is more complex than the initial breast augmentation procedure, it takes an especially skilled doctor to be able to perform a cosmetically satisfactory breast implant removal.
Generally, the procedure to replace or remove breast implants is more comfortable than the initial breast augmentation, and recovery is relatively quick. However, the amount of postoperative discomfort depends largely on whether the scar tissue is removed along with the implant. Patients can usually return to their normal activities within several days. Breasts will likely be sore for some time after the replacement, similar to the postoperative sensation experienced following the initial breast augmentation.
When large implants are removed, the natural breasts often have a deflated, sagging appearance, because the implants have caused the breast tissue to stretch. A qualified surgeon can ensure that revision surgery will leave your breasts as attractive as they were prior to surgery; in some cases, the best way to achieve this is by combining your implant revision surgery with a breast lift. If you are replacing your implants, you may opt to maintain your current breast size, or select a larger or smaller size implants than your existing implants. As with the original breast augmentation, you can expect full, shapely breasts from your breast implant replacement. For the best breast implant revision results, talk to your breast implant revision surgeon and be sure he or she understands your goals for surgery.
Although complications resulting from breast implant revision surgery are rare, there are risks involved with any medical procedure. In uncommon circumstances, breast implant removal may result in:
- A loss of nipple sensation
- Bleeding
- Scarring
- Breast deformity, such as sagging
Complications resulting from breast implant replacement are similar to the risks involved with breast augmentation surgery. They include:
- Rippling
- Rupture
- Displacement
- Loss of nipple sensation
- Capsular contracture
When complications occur, they may be corrected with further cosmetic surgery. Discuss any possible risks and side effects thoroughly with your cosmetic surgeon before pursuing treatment.
The cost for breast implant replacement or removal surgery depends upon certain factors can influence the cost of breast implant removal or replacement surgery, including the plastic surgeon you choose, the geographical location of the practice, whether or not your initial breast augmentation was under warranty, and how involved the procedure itself will be.
