Options for Breast Implant Removal at Iteld Plastic Surgery
5/28/2025
Breast implants have provided women with the confidence and aesthetic appeal they want. However, over time, personal preferences to return to a natural breast appearance, addressing health concerns, or making a lifestyle change, may influence your decision to remove your implants. Knowing your options can empower you to make the best choice for your body and well-being.
Why consider breast implant removal?
There are several reasons patients choose to remove their breast implants, including:
- Medical complications: Capsular contracture (scar tissue hardening), rupture, or infection.
- Lifestyle changes: A preference for a more natural look or increased physical activity.
- Health concerns: Some individuals experience Breast Implant Illness (BLL), which may include fatigue, joint pain, and other systemic symptoms.
- Cosmetic dissatisfaction: Changes over time due to aging, weight fluctuations, or dissatisfaction with previous augmentation.
Regardless of the reason you want your implants removed, I am here to help you decide what’s best for you, and then perform your surgery with our Smart Recovery so you won’t have to worry about pain you won’t have!
Consider your options
If it’s time to remove your breast implants, please know you have options.
- Remove: I can always remove your existing implants without replacing them.
- Replace: Remove the existing implants and replace them with new ones.
However, if you want a less maintenance approach, don’t want implants, but still want a better shape, consider one of these solutions::
- Fat transfer with a lift: A combination of fat transfer and breast lift can be an excellent option if you’re looking to restore volume and achieve a firmer, more lifted appearance. For this procedure, I remove your existing implants while reshaping your breast tissue and enhancing volume naturally using your own fat. It is ideal for if you want to maintain some fullness and youthful contours without implants. While results may vary, this approach provides a natural alternative to implants and can improve both shape and symmetry.
- Fat Transfer: Fat transfer by itself can restore volume, but does not address sagging or loose skin. It can provide a natural look and feel, though multiple sessions may be needed to achieve the desired volume. It is best suited if you who want a moderate increase in breast size without implants.
- Just a lift: Following implant removal, some patients experience sagging due to stretched skin. A breast lift can help reshape and restore a more youthful contour, addressing any excess skin and repositioning the breast tissue. While this addresses loose kin, it does not add volume.
