Breast Implant Removal Overview
Consultation and Preparation Steps
Steps of Breast Implant Removal
- Anesthesia and Incision
The procedure begins with administering anesthesia to ensure your comfort and safety throughout the surgery. Once you are comfortably sedated, the surgeon makes precise incisions, typically along the original scar lines to minimize additional scarring. The location and length of the incision will depend on your specific needs and the type of implant being removed.
- Implant Removal Process
After the incisions are made, the surgeon carefully removes the breast implants from the pocket. If necessary, the surrounding scar tissue (capsule) may also be removed, especially if there are signs of capsular contracture or rupture. The approach is personalized to address your health and cosmetic goals.
- Capsule Removal or Preservation
Depending on your situation, the surgeon may perform a capsulectomy, which involves removing the capsule of scar tissue around the implant. In some cases, only part of the capsule is removed, or it may be left in place if it is healthy and not causing issues. Your doctor will discuss the best approach for your needs during your consultation.
- Closing Incisions and Recovery
Once the implants and any necessary tissue are removed, the surgeon closes the incisions with sutures and applies dressings to support healing. You will be monitored as you wake up from anesthesia and given post-operative instructions to ensure a smooth recovery. Most patients can return home the same day and will have follow-up visits to assess healing and results.

Breast Implant Removal FAQs
Why do patients choose to remove their breast implants?
Patients may seek implant removal due to lifestyle changes, discomfort, capsular contracture, implant rupture, aesthetic preferences, or concerns related to breast implant illness.
What happens to the breasts after implant removal?
After implants are removed, the breasts may appear smaller, flatter, or have more sagging depending on skin elasticity and the size of the implants. Some patients choose a breast lift in the same procedure to improve shape.
Is a breast lift recommended during implant removal?
A lift is not always required but is often recommended if significant sagging or stretched skin is expected after removal. Your surgeon will evaluate whether a lift would enhance your final result.
What is capsular contracture, and does it affect removal?
Capsular contracture is the hardening of scar tissue around the implant. In moderate or severe cases, the capsule may need to be partially or fully removed (capsulectomy) during implant removal to restore comfort and appearance.
How long is the recovery after implant removal?
Most patients return to normal activities within 1–2 weeks. Swelling and changes in breast shape continue to improve over the following weeks, with final results becoming more noticeable after a few months.
