What is a Breast Implant Removal or Revision?

Breast implant removal or revision is a surgical procedure that involves the removal, replacement, or adjustment of breast implants. This may include the removal of the capsules (scar tissue that forms around breast implants) as well as adjunctive procedures to obtain an optimal aesthetic outcome such as fat grafting or uplift (mastopexy) procedures.

It is performed to address various concerns and goals, such as changing the size, shape, or type of implants, correcting complications, or restoring the natural appearance of the breasts.

  • Desire to change breast size or shape

  • Implant rupture or leakage
  • Implant malposition or asymmetry
  • Changes in personal preferences or lifestyle
  • Resolving discomfort or pain associated with implants
  • Seeking a more natural-looking breast appearance
  • Breast implant illness

Breast Implant Removal or Revision Procedure

The breast implant removal or revision procedure is performed under general anaesthesia. The surgeon will make incisions in the breast tissue to access the implants and may remove, replace, or adjust them based on the patient’s goals.

The procedure may also involve addressing any additional concerns, such as removing excess skin or adjusting the breast pocket. The surgeon will then close the incisions using sutures and apply an appropriate dressing under a support bra to promote healing and minimise swelling to promote proper healing.

At HR Plastic Surgery, our lead surgeon Mr Hyder Ridha will discuss the details of the procedure with you during your initial consultation to ensure that you fully understand the process and have realistic expectations for the results.

Cosmetic surgery to have breast implants removed or a breast implant replacement can be performed if you are unhappy with the appearance of your breasts following a previous augmentation procedure.

Recovery and Aftercare

Following the procedure, patients will undergo a recovery period during which they may experience swelling, bruising, and some discomfort.

It is essential to follow the surgeon’s post-operative instructions, which may include wearing a supportive bra, taking prescribed medications, and attending follow-up appointments. Gradually, normal activities can be resumed as advised by the surgeon.

Risks and Complications

While breast implant removal or revision is generally safe, there are potential risks and complications associated with the procedure, which may include:

  • Infection
  • Bleeding
  • Changes in nipple or breast sensation
  • Scarring
  • Seroma
  • Asymmetry
  • Deflated breast appearance

The surgeon will discuss these risks and take necessary precautions to minimise them.

FAQs

If you still have some questions, below you can find our most frequently asked questions:

Breast implant removal costs in the UK can vary depending on factors such as the surgeon’s expertise, the type of implants, and the complexity of the procedure such as the need for a capsulectomy. It is recommended to consult with a reputable plastic surgery clinic in the UK for precise pricing information.

The waiting time for breast implant revision can vary depending on the specific circumstances, such as the reason for revision, surgeon availability, and any necessary pre-operative evaluations. It is advisable to discuss this with your plastic surgeon, who can provide a timeline based on your individual case.

The responsibility for paying for breast implant removal surgery typically falls on the patient if the implants have been placed for augmentation purposes. However, in cases of breast reconstruction following breast cancer treatment, our healthcare care insurance may cover the procedure if it is deemed medically necessary or if complications arise.

This breast surgery can be more complex than the initial augmentation procedure, as it involves dealing with pre-existing implants and addressing specific concerns or complications. It is essential to consult with an experienced plastic surgeon who specialises in breast revision surgery to ensure optimal results.
