Breast Implant Removal & Replacement

In many cases, a change of implant size to enhance the breast shape is requested. This can be to increase or decrease the size of your breasts many years after your original surgery when natural changes to your body through ageing or after childbirth or weight loss have occurred.

If you’re considering a Breast Implant Removal or Replacement Procedure MyBreast take a great deal of pride and care in ensuring our clients receive the highest possible standard of treatment, and for every procedure, we offer a guarantee that our patients are as well-informed as possible on the nature of the surgery they choose.

Removal will give the breast a deflated appearance, which is why many women opt for additional surgery in the form of implant replacement, and this is where we aim to give the best possible advice for next steps by making it clear what options are available. Four factors need to be considered here:

• The desired size of the breast
• The desired shape of the breast
• The capsular contractor risk
• Financial factors

The best and most predictable results can be achieved by a two-stage procedure. The first step is the removal of the implant which has reached the end of its lifespan. After the effects of this procedure have settled, the final procedure can then be undertaken which might involve replacement breast implants, if droopiness (Ptosis) is experienced – a breast lift (Mastopexy) or both (Breast lift with implants), all will yield positive and long-lasting results. Another option is a breast lift without implants, this will certainly improve the shape of the breast after implant removal however an uplift will still leave scars around the nipple and possibly extensions below it.
