Why Get Your Breast Implants Removed?

One of the most common reasons for considering breast implant removal is due to health concerns. Some patients may experience physical discomfort or complications, such as capsular contracture, implant rupture, or Breast Implant Illness (BII). These issues can cause a range of symptoms, ranging from pain to fatigue, and removal can often alleviate these symptoms. In other cases, personal aesthetic preferences can change. Some patients simply decide that they prefer their natural shape and size over the enhanced look provided by implants. Others may wish to address changes in the appearance of their implants due to aging or weight fluctuations. Significant changes in lifestyle can also influence the decision to have implants removed. This may be due to a new fitness regimen, a desire for a more natural body shape, or a shift in personal values. Remember, no matter your reason for considering breast implant removal, Dr. Chopra is here to listen, advise, and support you in making the choice that feels right for you.

Who Is an Ideal Candidate for Breast Augmentation Removal?

Your journey will start with an in-depth consultation between you and Dr. Chopra, during which he will evaluate your health, discuss your motivations for breast implant removal, and answer any questions you might have. Together, you’ll establish your goals and create a personalized treatment plan that aligns with your needs and expectations.

You may be an ideal candidate for this procedure if you meet the following criteria:

You are physically healthy
You have realistic expectations about the results
You are experiencing pain or discomfort due to your breast implants
You are concerned about the potential health risks associated with breast implants
You desire a natural aesthetic

Your implants are no longer aligned with your lifestyle or personal values

What to Expect from Your Procedure

On the day of your procedure, you will be placed under general anesthesia to ensure that you remain as comfortable as possible throughout the duration of your procedure. Dr. Chopra will then begin the procedure by carefully making an incision, typically along the same lines as your original breast augmentation, to minimize additional scarring. The implants, and sometimes the capsule tissue, will then be carefully removed.

Once the implants have been successfully removed, Dr. Chopra will carefully close the incisions with sutures, skin adhesive, or surgical tape. A bandage will be applied to aid in the healing process and minimize your post-procedural swelling. Most breast implant removal procedures take between one to three hours to complete, but this can vary according to the details of your personalized surgical plan.

About Post-Treatment Care

After your surgery, you will be monitored in a recovery area until you're ready to go home. Dr. Chopra will provide you with specific aftercare instructions to follow during your recovery period, including how to care for your breasts and which medications to apply or take orally. To avoid complications and ensure optimal healing, you’ll need to restrict certain activities initially. This includes vigorous exercise, heavy lifting, and anything that could potentially strain your chest area. Gradually, you’ll be able to reintroduce these activities into your routine as healing progresses. Most patients are able to return to their normal activities within about four to six weeks, and we’ll be sure to schedule follow-up appointments with you so Dr. Chopra can monitor your progress and ensure that you’re healing comfortably. He’ll also be available to answer any questions you might have during the process.
