Breast implant removal surgery involves the removal of breast implants from a person’s body.
Typically performed under general anesthesia, the procedure begins with an incision made either along the original breast augmentation incision or in a new location.
The surgeon carefully removes the implants, along with any scar tissue that may have formed around them.
Once the implants are removed, the surgeon evaluates the breasts’ appearance and may perform additional procedures, such as a breast lift or fat transfer, to improve the aesthetic outcome.
Finally, the incisions are closed with sutures, and dressings or bandages are applied to promote healing.
Recovery time varies depending on individual factors and any additional procedures performed. Patients may experience discomfort, swelling, and bruising following the surgery, but these typically resolve over time.
It is essential for individuals considering breast implant removal to consult with a qualified plastic surgeon to discuss their specific goals and expectations for the procedure.
