WHAT IS BREAST IMPLANT REMOVAL?
Breast implant removal is a surgical procedure to take out previously placed breast implants, either due to medical reasons, personal preference, or complications. This procedure can restore the natural breast appearance or prepare for a replacement or alternative enhancement method.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Breast Implant Removal?
You may be a good candidate if you:
- Experience discomfort or complications with your implants.
- Wish to remove implants for personal or aesthetic reasons.
- Are in good overall health and have realistic expectations about the results.
Reasons for Breast Implant Removal
Medical Issues:
- Capsular contracture (scar tissue tightening around the implant).
- Ruptured or leaking implants.
- Concerns about breast implant illness (BII) or BIA-ALCL.
Aesthetic Changes:
- Desire to return to a natural breast size.
- Dissatisfaction with implant appearance or proportions over time.
Replacement: Preparing for a new set of implants or alternative procedures like fat transfer.
How Is Breast Implant Removal Performed?
The process typically involves the following steps:
- Anesthesia: General anesthesia or sedation is administered for comfort.
- Incision: The surgeon reopens the original incision site to minimize scarring.
- Implant Removal:
- The implant is carefully removed.
- If capsular contracture is present, the scar tissue may also be excised (capsulectomy).
- Closure: The incision is closed, and the breast may be reshaped, or a lift may be performed if needed.
Procedure
The cost ranges from ₩4,000,000 to ₩10,000,000 (approximately $3,000–$7,500 USD), depending on:
- The complexity of the procedure.
- Whether additional treatments like a lift or fat transfer are performed.
- Clinic reputation and location.
