Considering breast implant removal? Whether you’re seeking implant removal due to personal choice, medical reasons, or complications, we are here to guide you through the process and ensure you achieve the best possible results tailored to your unique needs.

Starting Price: $3,200

What Does This Include?

  • Comprehensive Consultation: During your consultation, we take the time to fully understand your goals, expectations, and any concerns you may have. We believe in an open dialogue where you can express your needs, and our experienced team will provide you with all the necessary information to make an informed decision about breast implant removal.
  • Surgical Removal of Breast Implants: Performed by our experienced board-certified surgeon, the breast implant removal procedure is conducted with precision and care. We ensure that the process is as comfortable and safe as possible, using the latest techniques to minimize scarring and recovery time.

Additional Charges:

  • Capsule Removal: In cases where capsular contracture has occurred, the removal of the scar tissue (capsule) that has formed around the implant may be necessary. This procedure, known as capsulectomy, is more complex and time-consuming, requiring a longer procedure time and a higher level of anesthesia. As a result, there may be additional charges beyond the starting price of $3,200. We will discuss these costs with you during your consultation, ensuring you have a clear understanding of all potential expenses associated with breast implant removal.

Common Reasons for Breast Implant Removal

There are various reasons why individuals may consider breast implant removal, including:

  • Personal Choice: Over time, personal preferences can change. Some individuals may decide that they no longer desire to have breast implants and wish to return to their natural breast size and shape through breast implant removal.

  • Medical Concerns: Health issues such as capsular contracture (a condition where scar tissue tightens around the implant), implant rupture, or chronic pain can necessitate breast implant removal. In some cases, implants may interfere with mammography or other breast health monitoring.

  • Complications: Some individuals experience complications such as implant displacement, visible rippling, or asymmetry. These issues can lead to discomfort and dissatisfaction, prompting the decision to undergo breast implant removal.

  • Aesthetic Changes: The natural aging process, weight fluctuations, or pregnancy can alter the appearance of the breasts, leading to dissatisfaction with the current implants. In these cases, breast implant removal or a revision procedure may be desired.

Additional Procedures

The final cost of your surgery may vary depending on additional procedures you may choose or require along with breast implant removal. Here are some options to consider:

  • Fat Transfer Augmentation: Enhance your natural contours after breast implant removal with fat transfer breast augmentation. This technique uses your body’s own fat, typically harvested from areas such as the abdomen or thighs, to enhance the shape and volume of your breasts. It’s an excellent option for those who prefer not to use synthetic implants and wish to achieve a more natural look and feel.

  • Implant Replacement: If you’re considering replacing your implants during breast implant removal, you can choose between saline or silicone options. Our team will help you decide the best type of implant based on your body type, aesthetic goals, and any medical considerations. Additionally, if capsular contracture is present, the removal of the capsule may be necessary, which could affect the overall cost and complexity of the procedure.

  • Breast Lift: After breast implant removal, some patients may experience sagging or loss of shape in their breasts. A breast lift can restore a youthful, lifted appearance by removing excess skin and tightening the surrounding tissue. This procedure can be performed alone or in conjunction with other enhancements to achieve your desired outcome.
