What Is Breast Implant Removal?
Some women may choose to remove their breast implants after augmentation for various reasons. At Gulf Coast Plastic Surgery in Pensacola, FL, we offer consultations for implant removal. If the skin has stretched, a breast lift might be needed to address excess or sagging skin. Combining implant removal with a lift can restore natural breast size and appearance.
What Is the Surgical Technique?
During the breast implant removal procedure, the implants, along with any necessary scar tissue, will be removed. Scar tissue formation is common following implant surgery and may need to be eliminated if it affects the breast's shape or causes discomfort. Following the removal of the implants, additional procedures, such as a fat transfer or breast lift, might be performed based on the options discussed during your consultation. There are also various methods available to restore volume and enhance the breast's shape after implant removal.
What Are the Benefits of Breast Implant Removal?
Breast implant removal may assist you with finding a more natural look and elevated level of health with a number of amazing perks, including:
- Relieves risks of implant rupture and health concerns
- Enables you to reevaluate implant size or totally remove them
- Takes care of capsular contracture and adjacent pain
- Benefits mobility and high-impact activity
- Limited downtime
Breast Implant Removal Reviews
Had absolutely the best experience with Dr. Butler and his entire staff from consult to surgery follow-up. I have been thinking about a breast implant revision for about 10 years and have had my implants for 20 plus years. I’ve not been happy with the heaviness and neck and shoulder pain from the added weight of the implants. Dr. Butler was able to exchange to a significantly smaller implant while avoiding the need for a lift. I didn’t know if this was possible, but he was able to find the perfect implant size to accomplish this and I already feel a huge relief in my shoulders and neck. I also look very natural, which is something I could never say with my implants before. I’m thankful I found Dr. Butler and would recommend him to anyone considering an exchange.
Dr. Patterson and the entire staff from the receptionists at the front desk, to the nurses, and surgery coordinators have been AMAZING at Gulf Coast Plastic Surgery! Everyone was wonderful with their affiliated surgical center as well! I experienced a saline breast implant rupture. The initial implant surgery was done 10+ years ago and performed by another surgeon who is no longer in the area. I was referred to Dr. Patterson by my previous surgeon. I was able to be seen quickly, have all my questions answered, and anxiety put at ease. My breast implant removal surgery and recovery have gone wonderful! I would highly recommend Dr. Patterson to anyone who is looking for an experienced plastic surgeon who genuinely cares about your health , well being, and giving the best possible result for your unique body.
My initial appointment was better than I anticipated since I had to wait so long to get it. But once there, Dr Leveque proved herself worthy of the wait! And did everything in her power to expedite my surgery. Couldn't be more pleased. I will update after surgery.March 26th 2024 update: I am almost 2 weeks post-op. And I am absolutely thrilled with the work Dr Leveque did! I needed implant replacement due to encapsulation from 14-year-old implants from cancer and double mastectomies with reconstruction that included spacers. Dr Leveque was able to improve the look tenfold! They look so natural I am so pleased! And there is nothing but praise for her staff! Everybody's professionalism, kindness, empathy, and overall helpfulness!I recommend 100%!!
OMG! Dr. Patterson is an artist! The result of my breast implant exchange is exceptional! I wanted to go a little larger and that he did to perfection. I couldn’t be happier. The entire team receives five stars from this very satisfied customer.
I am 6 weeks post op from Breast Implant Removal with Dr Butler and I HIGHLY RECOMMEND him. I had went to an event so that I can see which provider that would be best suited for me before I had a consultation. His kindness, knowledge, and compassion about what he does was the reasons why I choose him. He had made the surgery a breeze, and I felt at ease with his expertise. Thank you so much Dr Butler!
