Breast Implant Removal: In What Cases Is It Performed?

Breast implant removal,

In what cases is it performed?

<Thank You Plastic Surgery Column>

Breast augmentation surgery, especially surgery using implants,

is widely performed as one of the surgeries

that helps improve a woman's confidence in her appearance.

However, as time passes, more and more people are considering implant removal

for various reasons.

Today, we will look at what cases require breast implant removal,

and how revision surgery may be carried out afterward.

First, if the following complications occur,

implant removal is considered.

Adhesion

The implant adheres too strongly to the surrounding tissue,

which may cause pain or discomfort.

Capsular contracture

As the capsule formed around the implant becomes hardened,

the breast becomes firm and discomfort is felt.

In this case, surgery to remove both the implant and the capsule

may be necessary.

Infection

Although rare, an infection can occur

around the implant.

If the infection persists, the implant may need to be removed.

Next, if the implant has ruptured,

the implant must be removed.

If a silicone implant ruptures due to an accident or external impact,

the contents may leak out and cause

inflammation or pain.

In this case, the implant must be removed,

and if desired, it can be replaced

after the condition is checked.

For aesthetic reasons,

an implant can also be removed.

As preferences or physical condition change,

the implant can be removed or removed and then replaced.

If the breast size or shape is asymmetrical,

if you do not like the appearance of the breasts after changes in body condition

after pregnancy or childbirth,

or if aging causes changes in skin elasticity or breast size,

implant removal may also be considered.

Many people also wonder whether

revision surgery is possible after breast implant removal.

Revision surgery after implant removal is possible in most cases,

but the approach may vary depending on factors such as

the condition of the skin, the amount of breast tissue,

and previous surgical history.

If the skin has good elasticity, implant replacement or

reinsertion may be possible. If there is sagging after removal,

a lifting procedure is recommended, and if breast tissue is insufficient,

it is good to combine the procedure with fat grafting.

As you can see, the situations in which breast implant removal is performed

are very diverse, and a customized plan must also be established

for how the surgery will be carried out.

Therefore, an accurate diagnosis and thorough consultation are essential.

At Thank You Plastic Surgery,

when problems such as pain, rupture, or dissatisfaction caused by implants occur,

the patient's condition is carefully diagnosed and the problem is resolved

in the safest possible way.

First, we check the size, condition, and position

of the implant inserted during the previous surgery.

We carefully assess how it was inserted

and what the adhesion status with the surrounding tissue is like.

Through breast ultrasound,

we carefully check not only the condition before implant removal surgery

but also the remaining breast tissue and capsule after removal.

Accordingly, by establishing additional treatment or

revision surgery plans,

we can provide safer surgical results.

If you have pain after breast surgery,

if symptoms suggesting rupture appear,

or if you are considering breast implant removal because

you are not satisfied with the surgical results,

please receive accurate diagnosis and systematic surgery at

Thank You Plastic Surgery so that you can take care of both safety and satisfaction!
