We’ll explain clearly what results you can expect and when
Most women maintain their natural breast tissue despite having implants for many years. Implants don’t cause natural tissue to disappear, though it may have thinned or stretched. During consultation, we’ll evaluate your tissue and discuss realistic expectations. Many patients are pleasantly surprised by how much natural tissue remains.
We may perform total capsulectomy (complete removal), partial capsulectomy, or capsulotomy (releasing the capsule). With signs of capsular contracture or BIA-ALCL concerns, we typically recommend complete removal. We’ll discuss our approach based on your implant type, symptoms, and surgical findings.
A breast lift significantly improves appearance after removal by reshaping tissue and removing excess skin. While smaller than with implants, your breasts won’t have the deflated appearance that often occurs with removal alone. The lift creates a more youthful shape with your natural tissue.
Yes, for patients with minimal natural tissue, we can discuss adding fat grafting. This involves taking fat from another body area (abdomen or thighs) and carefully injecting it into breast tissue for modest volume. This option helps maintain some fullness while achieving implant removal.
Most patients return to light activities within 5-7 days and normal routines (except heavy lifting) within 2-3 weeks. Our pain management protocols keep most patients comfortable with minimal disruption to daily life. Full healing and final results develop over 3-6 months.
Many women find that breast screening becomes easier after removal, as mammograms can visualize tissue more completely. If you’ve had silicone implants, we recommend a screening mammogram after removal to establish a new baseline. Some women report relief from breast pain following implant removal.
