Reasons for Breast Implant Revision or Removal
Patients may decide to exchange their breast implants or remove them completely. This may be due to a complication, unrelated medical problem or change in preferences.

What is Capsular Contracture?
After your breast augmentation, it is normal for scar tissue to form around your breast implants. However, in a certain number of patients this tissue hardens and constricts around the implant. This can occur years after the original procedure. Cosmetic surgeons have developed several techniques to remedy this situation. The traditional technique simply removes the scar tissue and replaces the implant. If you think you are experiencing capsular contracture, contact our office to discuss a solution.Can Breast Implants Be Removed?
Breast implant removal is relatively simple. The procedure may take as little as one hour and the same incisions are typically used to access the implant. However, there is potential for a poor aesthetic outcome, especially if your implants were placed many years ago and the level of skin elasticity has decreased. The breast lift is one solution that may be able to mitigate the negative outcomes of breast implant removal.
