What Is a Breast Revision/Implant Removal?
Implant removal or implant exchange is a procedure that removes or exchanges the breast implants. Many women whose lifestyles and preferences have changed since their initial augmentation procedure or whose breast size has changed due to pregnancy or weight changes, might want to switch to a different breast implant size or style.
Breast revision surgery can also include enhancing procedures such as a breast lift or breast reduction. Additionally, Dr. Perez-Gurri or Dr. Garcia can perform breast revisions to correct any breast deformities that might be present.
Common Reasons for Breast Implant Removal or Replacement
No Longer Want Breast Implants
Breast implants will remain in your breast until you choose to have them removed. After breast augmentation, some women may be dissatisfied with their results or decide later in life that they no longer want their breast implants. Some women must make the unfortunate choice to remove their implants due to health concerns. Only a qualified plastic surgeon can remove breast implants and tighten the overlying skin and tissue to restore the breast to its natural shape, and position.
Implant leak or rupture
Modern breast implants are durable and long-lasting. Leaks or ruptures are rare, but they can happen. Older breast implants are more likely to experience these issues. When a saline breast implant leaks, your body is able to absorb the fluid without problem, but the affected breast will look deflated and will need to be revised. Silicone implants may require breast imaging to confirm a leak. When an implant leaks or ruptures, a surgeon must remove it and replace it with a new implant, if the patient desires.
Capsular Contracture
Your body naturally forms a thin tissue capsule around each breast implant. Sometimes, this capsule thickens and tightens around the implant, leading to painful hardening and tissue distortion, a condition called capsular contracture. To treat this condition, a surgeon must perform a capsulectomy, removing the implant and tissue capsule simultaneously.
Breast Rippling
Occasionally, breast implants will ripple or wrinkle, which can be visible through the breast tissue. The issue is typical in thin patients with low natural breast volume and more noticeable with saline breast implants.
Desire to Change Breast Size
Aesthetic ideals may change with age. Some women desire a change in their breast size. You can accomplish this by removing your current breast implants and replacing them with a larger or smaller implant size as desired. Also, breasts continue to age after breast augmentation. Sagging may develop, especially for patients who have become pregnant or lost significant weight. Adding a breast lift to your revision will restore your breast shape and position.

Typically, most patients can return to their usual activities after about two weeks. However, you’ll want to avoid any heavy lifting and strenuous activities that use your chest muscles for the first month to six weeks after your procedure.
