Breast Implant Removal in Delray Beach and Fort Lauderdale, FL

After receiving breast augmentation to change the size and contour of the breasts, some women may decide to have them taken out for a variety of reasons. At Inspire Aesthetics in Delray Beach and Fort Lauderdale, FL, our skilled plastic surgery team meets with patients who wish to get rid of their breast implants. At times, a breast lift may be needed following implant removal based on the size of the implants, as well as how much your skin stretched. A breast lift can typically help get rid of excess or sagging skin, which could remain after implant removal. If you're needing to return to your original breast size, implant removal surgery and a breast lift may create beautiful results to get back the original look and texture of your breasts.

Implant removal surgery can be employed to fix an array of concerns you may experience after breast augmentation, such as scar tissue (capsular contracture), implant malfunction, and unhappiness with the breast size. In some cases, women may simply prefer their original breast size and want to return them to their normal look. Whatever the reason, breast implant removal may function to counteract the outcomes of breast augmentation, and if combined with a breast lift, it can restore a natural, desirable aesthetic appearance. Prior to your procedure, we will talk with you regarding your aspired look for your breasts and how to achieve it.

For the breast implant removal procedure, the implants will be taken out and scar tissue may also have to be eliminated. Scar tissue is typical after receiving implants and needs to be removed if it is affecting the form of the breast or causing pain. After the implants are removed, we can carry out a breast lift, fat transfer, or both, depending on what was discussed during your consultation. There are also several options to restore volume following implant removal to improve the shape of the breast.

The recovery period will vary for each patient, depending on the reconstruction required after the implant removal. After the process, our team will provide post-procedure directions and may suggest additional treatments to help reduce scarring. For the first couple of weeks, patients may experience bruising and swelling and must restrict strenuous exercise until instructed otherwise. However, patients are invited to get up and slowly move around because it can help with blood flow. Optimal results can typically be observed roughly 4 – 6 months after the procedure.

Lots of circumstances can make you dissatisfied with your existing breast implants. Whether they are the wrong texture, shape, or size, Inspire Aesthetics can help you to attain the look you want with breast implant removal. At your consultation, our skilled plastic surgery team will speak with you regarding your options to restore the appearance and feel of your breasts. To learn more, call Inspire Aesthetics today.
