Breast implant removal is a surgery that takes out silicone implants that were put in to make breasts bigger. Some people also call this a breast augmentation reversal operation. Patients often ask to have their breast implants removed to cure capsular contracture, which is when the scar tissue surrounding the implants grows up and hardens, changing the contour of the breasts and causing pain following breast augmentation.
Patients may ask for breast implant removal or be told to have it done if their implants are leaking, if they have capsular contracture, or if they are in agony or discomfort because of the implants. You can have breast implant removal done on its own or with the implants replaced, maybe with a different size or brand.

What Happens During The Breast Implant Removal Procedure?
Dr. Perfect Celebrity will look at your breast scans to figure out how to do your breast implant removal surgery. The surgeon will decide what kind of incision and anesthesia to use.
On the day of your operation, you will be given anesthesia to help you relax and feel better during the procedure. The surgeon will cut open the breast implant to get to it. They are really careful when they take it out. Dr. Perfect Celebrity also takes away the hardened scar tissue that hurts or may cause a lump over time.
If a breast needs to be replaced, another breast implant can be put in, or fat transfer can be done. But if only the breast implants are taken out, the area where the surgery was done is cleaned with an antiseptic solution, and the cuts are repaired with dissolvable stitches.
What To Expect From Breast Implant Removal?
Breast Implant Removal Risks
But breast implant removal surgery is typically done to get rid of the pain and discomfort caused by the implants. The following dangers may come with the breast implant removal procedure:
- Pain and edema at the site of the surgery
- Breasts that feel numb for a few days
- Scarring from cuts
- Asymmetry right after surgery
- Draining a seroma. Dr. Perfect Celebrity will put a cannula on the site of the surgery to drain the fluid that has built up as the procedure heals.
Breast implant removal benefits:
- Pain relief: Taking out the breast implant will ease pain and suffering caused by scar tissue hardening, the implant moving, or contracture.
- Proportionate breasts: A ruptured implant or contracture might change the shape of the breasts. In this scenario, taking out breast implants can help the breasts seem better and be more proportionate.
- Mammograms possible: Breast implants can make mammograms less accurate, therefore taking them out can make it more likely that you will get better quality and more accurate mammograms.
If the surgeon thinks there are malignant tissues in the breasts, they may suggest removing the breast implant. This is because you would need to get mammograms often, and the implant could get in the way of the process.

This hardening is called capsular contracture. It can make your breasts hurt, feel uncomfortable, or look different than they did before.
You might also desire to have the implant taken out because of:
- Breast implant-associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma (BIA-ALCL) is a rare disease that happens in scar tissue around an implant. Textured implants are linked to BIA-ALCL. You should ask your plastic surgeon if you’ve ever had textured implants put in.
- Calcium builds up surrounding the implant.
- The implant is leaking.
- Moving or repositioning the implant.
