Your goals. A considered approach.

Breast implant removal takes out existing implants. Your assessment considers the implants, surrounding capsule, breast tissue, and the shape you may expect afterward.

01 · Your options

Consider the whole plan after removal.

A thoughtful plan starts with your individual assessment. These are the details to explore together.

Implant and capsule

Discuss whether capsule removal is indicated and what is appropriate for your situation.

Breast shape

Explore removal alone or reshaping with a lift or fat transfer.

Your concerns

Bring implant records and discuss any changes or symptoms that prompted your visit.

02 · Your consultation

A conversation comes first.

Bring your questions about implant removal. Share your health history, medications, prior treatments, and what you hope to change. Your consultation is also a chance to discuss alternatives and whether treatment is right for you.

  1. Share your priorities

    Tell us what matters to you, including what you want to preserve. Reference photographs can help explain your preferences.

  2. Explore your options

    Review the recommended approach, realistic outcomes, limitations, and risks. Take the time you need to ask questions.

  3. Plan the practical details

    Discuss your quote, preparation, follow-up, and support at home. Leave with a clear understanding of the next steps.

03 · Recovery

Make room for your recovery.

Recovery varies with capsule surgery and any additional reshaping. Ask about drains, support, incision care, and follow-up. The breast shape will continue to change during healing.

04 · Important considerations

An informed choice is a personal one.

Risks include bleeding, infection, contour changes, and healing problems. Removal does not guarantee that systemic symptoms will resolve. Capsule removal is an individual medical decision. Your consultation includes a fuller discussion of risks, alternatives, and your individual suitability.

Common questions

Let’s talk through it.

Will I need a lift after removal?

That depends on skin, tissue, implant size, and your preferences. Discuss the likely shape with and without a lift.

Is complete capsule removal always needed?

No. The reason for removal, exam, and operative findings guide the safest appropriate approach.

How much does implant removal cost?

Your individual plan determines your quote. Ask what is included, which fees may be separate, and whether follow-up or future treatments have additional costs.

How do I get started?

Call our team or send a consultation request. We will help arrange a conversation about your goals, medical history, and next steps.
