Contact UsWhat is Breast Implant Removal?
After getting breast augmentation to improve the size and contour of the breasts, some women may choose to have them removed for several factors. At Stalder Plastic Surgery in New Orleans, LA, Dr. Mark W. Stalder meets with women who wish to get rid of their breast implants. Sometimes, a breast lift might be required following implant removal, depending upon the size and type of the former implants and how much your skin stretched. A breast lift can often help to eliminate excess or sagging skin, which could remain after implant removal. If you wish to return to your previous breast size, implant removal surgery and a breast lift can create amazing results to regain your breasts' original appearance and texture.
How Does Breast Implant Removal Work?
The implants are removed for the breast implant removal operation, and scar tissue might also need to be eliminated. Scar tissue is common after receiving implants and will need to be removed if it's affecting the form of the breast or causing discomfort. After the implants are removed, Dr. Stalder can perform a fat transfer, breast lift, or both, depending on what had been discussed during your consultation. There are also several options to replace volume following an implant removal to improve the shape of the breast.
The recovery period will vary for every individual, depending on the repair required after implant removal. After the surgery, Dr. Stalder will provide post-procedure instructions and might suggest additional treatments to help reduce scarring. Patients will experience bruising and swelling for the first few weeks and should limit strenuous exercise until otherwise permitted. However, patients are encouraged to stand and gradually move around because it can help with blood circulation. Optimal results can be seen approximately 4 – 6 months after the operation.

Breast Implant Removal FAQs
Will my breasts return to their original shape after implant removal?
After implant removal, your breasts may not return to their exact pre-augmentation shape due to changes in skin elasticity and tissue stretching over time. Depending on factors like implant size and duration, additional procedures such as a breast lift or fat transfer may be recommended to achieve a desired contour.
What are the risks associated with breast implant removal surgery?
Risks of any surgical procedure include infection, bleeding, scarring, and anesthesia complications. Specific to implant removal, there may be changes in breast sensation, asymmetry, or dissatisfaction with aesthetic outcomes. Discussing potential risks with your surgeon is essential to make an informed decision.
Can I combine implant removal with other procedures?
Yes, many patients choose to combine implant removal with procedures like a breast lift or fat grafting to enhance the breast's appearance post-explantation. Combining procedures can also reduce overall recovery time.
