Breast implant removal is a surgical procedure designed to remove previously placed breast implants. This procedure may be performed for various reasons, including personal preference, complications, or a desire for a more natural look. During the surgery, the implants are carefully removed, and any scar tissue (capsular contracture) or remaining pocket is addressed. In some cases, a breast lift or fat transfer may be recommended to restore volume or shape after removal. Breast implant removal can help individuals who no longer wish to have implants or who are experiencing discomfort or changes in appearance. Recovery time can vary, but most patients can expect to return to regular activities after a few weeks, with a more natural breast contour.
