What is implant removal?
An implant removal procedure is designed to safely and effectively extract breast implants from the body, whether due to personal choice, discomfort, or medical concerns. The process typically involves making small incisions along the original surgical sites, which minimizes scarring and promotes a smoother recovery. Once the implants are accessed, they are carefully removed, and any surrounding tissue is evaluated to ensure optimal health.
In some cases, additional procedures like a breast lift or fat transfer may be recommended to enhance your results and restore a natural shape. Ultimately, this procedure empowers women to reclaim their bodies and confidence, providing a fresh start on their aesthetic journey.
What are the benefits of implant removal?
Choosing to undergo an implant removal procedure offers several significant benefits for women seeking to regain their confidence and comfort. Here are some key advantages:
- Improved Comfort: Many women experience discomfort or changes in their bodies over time, and removing implants can alleviate physical pain and pressure.
- Restored Natural Contours: The procedure helps restore the natural shape and appearance of the breasts, enhancing overall body symmetry.
- Elimination of Health Concerns: For those experiencing complications such as capsular contracture or implant rupture, removal can eliminate associated health risks and symptoms.
- Personal Empowerment: Women often find a renewed sense of self and empowerment by making choices about their bodies that align with their evolving desires and lifestyles.
- Customization Options: The procedure can be tailored to individual needs, with options for additional treatments like breast lifts or fat transfer to achieve the desired look post-removal.
Am I a candidate?
The ideal candidates for an implant removal procedure are those who have specific concerns about their breast implants or overall breast health. If you identify with any of the following, you may be a suitable candidate for this transformative procedure:
- Discomfort or Pain: Individuals experiencing ongoing discomfort, pain, or sensitivity related to their implants.
- Aesthetic Changes: Those who desire a change in their breast shape or size, seeking a more natural appearance.
- Health Concerns: This procedure may be necessary if you develop breast implant illness or BII. Though not an official diagnosis, BII is all too real and can cause various symptoms. People with this disorder can experience fatigue, joint pain, brain fog, dry eyes, and other health concerns.
- Lifestyle Changes: Individuals whose lifestyles or body goals have evolved, leading to a desire to remove implants for a more aligned self-image.
- Post-Pregnancy or Aging: Women who wish to address changes in breast volume and shape due to pregnancy, breastfeeding, or natural aging.
How is implant removal performed?
The surgery is conducted under general anesthesia for your comfort. Dr. Polynice will create incisions either around the areola or along the lower fold of your breasts. During the procedure, he will meticulously remove the implants along with any scar tissue. If you’re opting for replacement, new implants will be inserted before the incisions are closed with stitches or tape. Depending on your individual needs, a breast lift may also be performed during this operation to enhance your overall results.
