About Breast Implant Removal Surgery

Year after year, the American Society of Plastic Surgeons ranks breast augmentation as the most commonly performed plastic surgery procedure in the United States. While countless patients enjoy the aesthetic benefits of breast augmentation, others decide to have their implants removed.

A breast implant removal procedure typically happens in one of three ways:

  • Breast implant removal
  • Breast implant removal and breast lift
  • Breast implant removal, replacement and lift

Why Do Some Patients Have Their Breast Implants Removed?

Patients usually decide to remove their breast implants for aesthetic, personal, or medical reasons:

As a result of evolution in both style and materials, many patients consider having their implants extracted and replaced with newer ones. Dr. Teotia will work closely with you to decide what look you desire, and she will do everything she can to provide great results.

Lifestyle changes often contribute to the reason some patients choose to have their breast implants removed or replaced with a different style or size. For example, many women choose a more active and fitness-focused lifestyle after their breast augmentation. This sometimes presents increasing personal challenges that may be affected by large implants. Some women decide to have their implants removed, and possibly replaced, to better fit the activities and lifestyle that they enjoy.

In addition to having a “shelf life,” breast implants may also need to be removed due to trauma, leaking, or capsular contracture. Capsular contracture occurs when scar tissue surrounding the implant begins to constrict. If not addressed, this condition can lead to discomfort and other complications. Other medical conditions, such as breast cancer, may also necessitate the removal of breast implants.

We encourage you to contact Dr. Teotia immediately if you think you need your implants need to be removed.

How Are Breast Implants Removed?

A breast implant removal procedure typically begins with Dr. Teotia’s team helping you feel comfortable and relaxed. Depending on your specific surgical plan, the team will administer either general or local anesthesia.Dr. Teotia will then proceed with the operation. 

Although your plan will be unique to your goals, it will include a few general steps:

  1. Teotia makes the first incisions either along the inframammary folds or around the areolas. These incisions are usually reused from your breast augmentation.
  2. Teotia then carefully extracts your implants. Dr. Teotia’s techniques are safe, efficient, and can significantly reduce the amount of recovery time.
  3. Lastly, Dr. Teotia closes your incisions.

Breast implant removal generally takes about 2-3 hours in its entirety. After Dr. Teotia has completed your operation, you can begin your recovery.

Recovery after a Breast Implant Removal

No two recoveries after a breast implant removal surgery are going to be exactly the same. However, your post-surgery guidelines will likely involve the following:

  • You will be given comprehensive aftercare instructions and pain medications.
  • You may have drains after your procedure to ensure that excess fluids do not accumulate in the surgical site.
  • You should wear a compression garment to reduce swelling.
  • You will need to avoid any strenuous activity, such as lifting heavy objects or intense workouts, for several weeks after your implants have been removed.
  • You should be able to increase your activity gradually.

If you have any questions or concerns at any point along the way, Dr. Teotia will gladly do her best to address them. After all, she considers your journey a partnership that does not end after you have surgery.

Patient Stories

Dr. Teotia performed a breast implant replacement for me. One of my very old implants ruptured. After checking out several offices, I chose Dr. Teotia because of her knowledge, experience, but most of all her bedside manner. Other offices made me feel like part of a cattle call, with no empathy towards my questions, MY decisions, and especially my emotions. (No one feels great when they are lopsided!) Kudos to Dr. Teotia, her team, and the comfortable environment they have designed and created at her offices. I was so pleased with the entire procedure that I returned for my first lip injections. Again, all options were discussed, recommendations were given and I felt good with my decisions. You will not be disappointed here. If you are reviewing your own options, you will end up going with Dr. Teotia. She is the best!
