What Is Breast Implant Removal?

Sometimes, after getting a breast augmentation to enhance the size and contour of the breasts, some women may decide to get them removed for a number of factors. At Derrick Plastic Surgery in Plano, TX, Dr. Chase Derrick meets with patients who want to remove their breast implants. At times, a breast lift might be needed following implant removal, depending on the size and type of the implants, as well as how much your skin was stretched. A lift can typically help to remove excess or sagging skin that can remain after an implant removal. If you desire to go back to your original breast size, breast implant removal surgery along with a breast lift can produce excellent results to get back the original look and feel of your breasts.

How Is Breast Implant Removal Performed?

During the breast implant removal surgery, the implants will be removed, and scar tissue may need to be eliminated. Scar tissue is common after a breast augmentation and needs to be removed if it’s affecting the shape of your breast or causing discomfort. After the implants have been removed, Dr. Derrick can execute a fat transfer, breast lift, or both based on what had been discussed during your consultation. Additionally, there are a number of alternatives to restore volume following an implant removal to enhance the shape of the breast.
