Breast Implant Removal: Restoring Natural Beauty and Confidence

The decision to undergo breast augmentation is a personal one. It is often driven by the desire to enhance one’s appearance and boost self-confidence. However, as time goes by, some individuals may find that their priorities and preferences change. Whether due to personal reasons or complications arising from breast implants, there is a growing demand for breast implant removal surgery.

At Younai Plastic Surgery we understand the unique needs and concerns of our patients. With years of experience in breast surgery and cosmetic procedures, Dr. Younai has helped countless individuals regain their natural beauty and confidence through breast implant removal surgery.

Reasons for Breast Implant Removal

There are various reasons why someone might consider removing their breast implants. Some common factors include:

  • Personal Choice: Personal preferences and changing aesthetic ideals can prompt individuals to opt for breast implant removal. It’s important to feel comfortable and confident in your own body, and if breast implants no longer align with your desired look, removal may be the right choice.
  • Complications: While breast augmentation surgery typically yields successful results, complications can arise. Capsular contracture, which occurs when scar tissue forms around the implant, can lead to discomfort, pain, and an unnatural appearance. Other issues such as implant rupture, infection, or asymmetry may also require implant removal.
  • Breast Implant Illness: In recent years, there has been increasing awareness of a rare set of symptoms collectively referred to as breast implant illness (BII). Some individuals may experience symptoms such as fatigue, joint pain, cognitive difficulties, and autoimmune-like reactions that they attribute to their breast implants. (2) Explant surgery offers relief from these symptoms by removing the implants and surrounding scar tissue.

Benefits of Breast Implant Removal

Improved Physical Comfort

Many individuals experience discomfort from breast implants, such as pain or pressure on the chest and shoulders. By removing the implants, patients can alleviate these symptoms, allowing for a more comfortable daily life.

Enhanced Body Confidence

For those who no longer wish to have breast implants, their removal can help restore self-esteem and boost body confidence. Embracing a natural look that aligns with personal preferences can lead to a sense of liberation and empowerment.

Natural Appearance

Breast implant removal eliminates the artificial appearance that implants may create. The breasts can regain a more natural shape and feel, creating a harmonious balance with the rest of the body.

Restored Breast Shape and Symmetry 

Over time, breast implants may cause irregularities or asymmetry. Breast implant removal can correct these issues, restoring a balanced and proportionate appearance to the breasts.

Improved Mobility 

Removing breast implants can improve range of motion and flexibility. Engaging in physical activities and exercises becomes easier, without the constraints or limitations imposed by implants.

Relief from Implant-Related Health Issues

In rare cases may experience health problems related to breast implants, such as chronic pain, fatigue, or autoimmune issues. Removing the implants can provide relief from these symptoms, allowing for improved overall well-being.

Customizable Options

Following breast implant removal, individuals have the opportunity to explore alternative options to achieve desired breast aesthetics. These may include fat transfer or other non-surgical methods, providing a range of customizable choices tailored to individual preferences.

Candidates for Breast Implant Removal

Candidates for breast implant removal surgery may include:

  • Individuals who are unhappy with the appearance or feel of their breast implants
  • Those experiencing complications related to their implants, such as capsular contracture, implant rupture, or infection
  • Women who have undergone significant weight loss or changes in breast size and wish to remove or replace their implants
  • Patients seeking revision surgery for breast implants due to aesthetic concerns or dissatisfaction with previous results

Implant Removal Options

Breast implant removal options may include complete removal of the implants, removal with simultaneous breast lift surgery, or replacement with new implants. Dr. Younai will explain the benefits and potential risks associated with each option, allowing the patient to make an informed decision.
