Overview
Implant removal and breast autoaugmentation is a surgical procedure designed to remove breast implants and reshape the breasts using your natural tissue. This innovative approach allows you to achieve a more natural look and feel without the need for new implants. It’s an ideal solution for those seeking to remove their breast implants due to personal preference, complications, or lifestyle changes while maintaining a desirable breast shape.
Benefits
Implant removal and breast autoaugmentation is suitable for women who are in good overall health and have realistic expectations about the outcomes. Suitable candidates typically include:
Women who wish to remove their breast implants due to personal preference or medical reasons
Individuals experiencing complications with their breast implants, such as capsular contracture, rupture, or displacement
Those seeking a more natural look and feel to their breasts without the use of synthetic implants
Women who desire a breast lift and reshaping as part of their implant removal process
The Procedure
Implant removal and breast autoaugmentation is performed under general anaesthesia and typically takes two to four hours to complete, depending on the complexity of the surgery. The steps involved include:
Anaesthesia: Administering medication to ensure you are asleep and pain-free during the procedure.
Incision: Making incisions in the same locations as your original breast augmentation surgery, typically around the areola or under the breast crease.
Implant Removal: Carefully removing the existing breast implants and any surrounding scar tissue (capsulectomy).
Tissue Repositioning: Using your natural breast tissue to reshape and augment the breast, creating a lifted and fuller appearance without implants.
Closing the Incisions: Suturing the skin together meticulously to promote healing and minimise scarring.
Recovery Process
Recovery from implant removal and breast autoaugmentation varies depending on individual healing rates and the extent of the procedure. Here’s what to expect:
First Few Days: Limited mobility; you may need assistance with daily activities. Pain and swelling are common and can be managed with prescribed medication.
First Few Weeks: Gradual return to normal activities; wearing a supportive bra to aid the healing process and minimise swelling. Light walking is encouraged to promote circulation.
4 to 6 Weeks: Most swelling and bruising should subside. You can begin light exercises, but avoid strenuous activities.
3 to 6 Months: Full recovery and final results become more apparent as your breasts continue to heal and adjust to their new shape
Implant Removal +/- Replacement
Breast implant removal is a personalised surgical procedure designed to address a variety of reasons for implant extraction, including personal preference, health concerns, or complications such as capsular contracture or implant rupture. During the procedure, implants are carefully removed, and the surrounding tissue is reshaped to maintain a natural breast contour. Patients may choose to replace the implants with new ones for continued augmentation or opt for no replacement, allowing their natural breast tissue to define their silhouette. This flexibility ensures that each patient’s unique goals and needs are met, enhancing both comfort and aesthetics.
