What Is Breast Implant Removal?
Breast implant removal is a surgical procedure where previously placed breast implants are carefully removed. Some patients choose this procedure due to complications, such as implant rupture or capsular contracture, while others may simply feel that the implants no longer align with their aesthetic goals. The procedure can be done alone or in combination with other procedures, such as a breast lift, to enhance the shape and volume of the breasts after the implants are removed.
At Bombshelled Aesthetics, Dr. Brownlee tailors each breast implant removal to your specific needs, ensuring a seamless transition to a more natural, balanced look. Our goal is to help you feel empowered, comfortable, and at ease with your body.
Reasons for Breast Implant Removal
There are many reasons why someone might choose breast implant removal. Here are some of the most common:
- Desire for a More Natural Look: As time passes, you may feel that your implants no longer fit your aesthetic goals. Whether it is a change in style, lifestyle, or personal preference, implant removal can help you achieve a more natural-looking breast appearance.
- Capsular Contracture: This condition occurs when the tissue around the implant hardens and can lead to pain, discomfort, and changes in the breast shape.
- Implant Rupture or Leakage: If your implant ruptures or leaks, it is essential to have it removed and replaced.
- Pain or Discomfort: Some individuals experience discomfort from their implants, whether due to their size, placement, or complications.
- Health Concerns: Concerns related to breast implants, such as breast implant illness (BII) or other health complications, may lead to the decision to remove implants.
- Post-Pregnancy or Weight Loss Changes: Pregnancy, weight fluctuations, or aging can affect breast shape, and many women opt for breast implant removal to address these changes.
Will I Need Additional Procedures After Breast Implant Removal?
In some cases, the removal of implants may leave the breasts with a sagging appearance, especially if the implants were large or if the breast tissue has changed over time. To ensure you are satisfied with the appearance of your breasts after implant removal, Dr. Brownlee may recommend a breast lift or fat grafting to restore a youthful and natural shape.
A breast lift, or mastopexy, can help tighten and reshape the breast tissue, lifting the breasts to a more youthful position. Fat grafting involves using liposuction to remove fat from another part of your body, which is then injected into the breasts to restore volume and fullness.
During your private consultation, Dr. Brownlee will work closely with you to ensure you understand your options and design a plan that aligns with your goals.

Breast Implant Removal – FAQs
Breast implant removal is a surgical procedure that involves the removal of previously placed breast implants. Whether you are experiencing discomfort, changes in your body, or simply want to return to your natural look, Dr. Brownless will tailor your breast implant removal to help you achieve your desired aesthetic. This procedure may be performed alone or in combination with additional surgeries, such as a breast lift or fat grafting, to restore or enhance the appearance of the breasts.
There are several reasons why you might consider breast implant removal, including:
- The desire to return to a more natural breast appearance.
- Capsular contracture (hardening of the tissue around the implant).
- Implant rupture or leakage.
- Experiencing discomfort or pain from the implants.
- Changes in lifestyle or personal preferences.
- Complications or health concerns related to the implants.
- The desire to reduce the size of the implants or completely remove them.
Breast implant removal is performed under general anesthesia. Dr. Brownless will make an incision along the same line used for your original procedure, either through the breast fold, around the areola, or in the underarm. The implant is then carefully removed, and any excess scar tissue (capsule) around the implant may be removed, if necessary. In some cases, additional procedures, such as a breast lift, may be performed to restore the shape and firmness of the breast.
The procedure usually takes 1 to 2 hours, depending on factors like implant size, type, and whether any additional procedures, like a breast lift, are performed alongside the implant removal.
After breast implant removal, most patients can expect to experience swelling, bruising, and some discomfort. You’ll be advised to wear a compression garment or surgical bra to help reduce swelling and support your healing breasts. Most patients can return to non-strenuous work and daily activities within 1 to 2 weeks, but it is important to avoid strenuous exercise for 4 to 6 weeks. Dr. Brownlee will provide you with detailed aftercare instructions to ensure a smooth recovery.
The appearance of your breasts after breast implant removal will depend on factors like the size of the implants, the condition of your breast tissue, and whether any additional procedures, such as a breast lift, are performed. It is common for breasts to appear smaller or sag slightly after implant removal, as they may not have the same volume or firmness. Dr. Brownlee may recommend a breast lift to help reshape and lift the breasts to achieve a more youthful and natural contour.
While you are under general anesthesia during the procedure, you can expect some discomfort during the recovery process. Dr. Brownlee will prescribe pain medication to manage any discomfort. Most patients report that the pain is manageable and subsides within a few days to weeks after the surgery.
Yes, if you desire, you can opt for new implants after removal. Some patients choose to replace their old implants with new ones, either in a new material or a different size, depending on their preferences. During your consultation with Dr. Brownlee, she will help guide you through your options based on your goals.
It can take several months for your breasts to settle into their final shape after implant removal. Swelling may persist for a few weeks, and it can take up to 6 months for the final results to fully reveal themselves. Patience is essential, as your body adjusts and heals following the procedure.
As with any surgical procedure, there are risks involved. Potential risks of breast implant removal include infection, bleeding, changes in breast sensation, scarring, and asymmetry. Dr. Brownlee takes great care to minimize these risks and will discuss all potential complications with you during your consultation to ensure you are fully informed.
Scarring is inevitable after any surgery, but Dr. Brownlee uses advanced techniques and scar care to minimize the appearance of scars. The incisions made during breast implant removal are placed in discreet locations, such as along the breast fold or around the areola, where they can be easily concealed by clothing or bras. Over time, the scars will fade and become less noticeable.
If you are experiencing discomfort, pain, or complications from your implants, such as capsular contracture or implant rupture, breast implant removal can significantly improve your comfort and health. Many patients experiencing these concerns report feeling relieved and more comfortable after the removal of their implants.
In most cases, breast implant removal does not affect your ability to breastfeed. However, if you are planning to become pregnant or breastfeed in the future, it is important to discuss your plans with Dr. Brownlee during your consultation to ensure that the procedure aligns with your goals.
Before your breast implant removal, Dr. Brownlee will provide specific instructions, which may include guidelines on eating, drinking, and adjusting any medications. You should also arrange for someone to drive you home after surgery and assist you during the first few days of your recovery.
Choosing the right surgeon for breast implant removal is essential for achieving beautiful and natural results. Dr. Pamela Brownlee is a double board-certified plastic surgeon with extensive experience in breast surgery. She is dedicated to listening to your goals, offering personalized recommendations, and providing exceptional care throughout your breast implant removal journey.
