Why Do People Choose to Remove Breast Implants?

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.

Risks and Considerations of Breast Implant Removal Surgery

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.

FAQs About Breast Implant Removal

To choose the best breast reduction surgeon in the UK

  • Verify the surgeon is registered with the General Medical Council (GMC).
  • Look for membership with professional bodies like BAAPS or BAPRAS.
  • Check their specific experience in breast implant removal procedures.
  • Read independent patient reviews.

  • Ensure you feel comfortable with the surgeon’s approach.
You may be a good candidate if you are experiencing complications like capsular contracture, implant rupture, or discomfort, or if you wish to return to a more natural breast appearance. Dr Victoria will assess your suitability during a consultation.
The procedure is typically performed under general anesthesia. Implants are removed through the original incision site, and additional procedures like capsulectomy or fat transfer may be performed if needed.
Recovery usually takes around 2 to 4 weeks. Most patients can resume light activities within a week, but strenuous activities and heavy lifting should be avoided for at least 4 to 6 weeks. Swelling and bruising may take several weeks to settle, and full recovery can take a few months, especially if you have had additional procedures such as a breast uplift. Dr Victoria will provide you with detailed aftercare instructions and support throughout your recovery.
Scars are minimal as the implants are often removed through the original incision site. Over time, scars fade and become less noticeable.
The cost for breast implant removal surgery will include the surgeon fee, anaesthetist fee and a hospital fee. The price also includes all your post- operative follow up clinic consultations. On average, the cost is depending on your unique requirements. We will give you a detailed quotation following your consultation.
The total cost of removing breast implants in the UK varies based on several factors such as the surgeon’s expertise, the clinic’s location, pre-surgery consultations, post-operative care, and the complexity of the procedure. Prices may also differ between private clinics and hospitals.
In most cases, breast implant removal surgery is considered cosmetic and not covered by the NHS or private insurance. However, if the replacement is required due to medical complications, some insurance providers may consider partial coverage. Please check with your insurance provider to confirm.
