Why Do Women Have Their Breast Implants Removed?
Though everyone who chooses plastic surgery has intensely personal reasons, women who decide to have their implants removed and not replaced may share a few commonalities.
- Capsular contracture: This condition occurs when excessive scar tissue develops around the implants, causing chest discomfort and tightness. Dr. Dreyfuss can remove the breast implants along with their capsule.
- Health concerns: After breast augmentation, some women may experience a condition referred to as breast implant illness. Though there is no conclusive research to link breast implants to health-related issues, patients who report symptoms often opt to remove their implants in the hope of feeling better.
- Age: As you get older, your lifestyle and priorities will change. If your implants no longer fulfill your cosmetic goals, you may wish to get them removed.
What Will Your Breast Implant Removal Procedure Entail?
Dr. Dreyfuss typically performs breast explant surgery as an outpatient procedure with general anesthesia. He begins by making incisions along the same lines as your initial breast surgery. Next, he removes the implants and checks for capsular contracture, where scar tissue may have accumulated and hardened.
