Breast implant removal can offer a range of benefits, including improved breast comfort and relief from pain, tightness, or changes in shape. It can also make monitoring breast health easier, as mammogram results are clearer without implants.
For some, removal reduces the risk of complications, like implant extrusion, and may lower the risk of rare conditions such as breast implant-associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma (BIA-ALCL), particularly with textured implants. Many also find that returning to a natural breast shape boosts both comfort and confidence.
People opt for breast implant removal for various reasons. Some experience changes in personal preference, while others may notice changes due to age, pregnancy, breastfeeding, or weight fluctuations. Some may have physical symptoms, like discomfort or changes in appearance, or concerns about long-term implant maintenance.
In certain cases, removal is necessary due to complications like implant rupture or capsular contracture. For others, it aligns with a broader focus on health and well-being. Whatever the reason, the decision to remove implants is personal. Dr Victoria will help guide you through your options, ensuring an informed choice based on your health and lifestyle.
Breast implant removal is a deeply personal decision, and understanding what’s involved can help you feel confident about your choice. While the procedure offers many benefits, it’s important to consider how your body may adjust after surgery.
As part of the healing process, you might experience temporary effects like swelling, bruising, or fluid retention. Over time, your breast shape and skin may naturally adapt to the changes, especially if your skin’s elasticity has been affected.
In some cases, additional procedures might be recommended to achieve their desired outcome, particularly if skin elasticity has been affected. Dr Victoria will discuss all of this with you during your consultation, so you can plan for an outcome that feels right for you.
