A breast implant removal procedure involves taking out previously placed implants surgically. People have this surgery for a variety of reasons, such as discomfort or health problems, or because they no longer want breast implants. Usually, the goal is to remove problematic implants or return their breasts to their pre-problem state.
In the first meeting, your surgeon will check your implants, talk about why you want them out, and what to expect after. This is the time to ask any questions and share any worries you might have.
Get ready for surgery by stopping certain medicines and avoiding smoking and drinking. You'll also need to not eat for a few hours before your surgery and plan for someone to help you when you go home.
The doctor will cut at the spot where your implants are, take them out carefully, and may fix up the area to look more natural. They might also lift the breasts if needed.
You'll visit the doctor a few days after the surgery to check on your healing. More visits will follow to make sure everything is going right and you’re healing well.
How happy people are after getting their implants out varies, but many feel better not having them anymore and like how they look. You'll see the real results in a few months, as long as you keep a stable weight and live healthily.
