Breast implant removal is a surgical procedure in which existing implants are removed without placing new ones. This procedure may be performed for various reasons, including the patient’s personal decision, changes in the appearance of the breasts, the need to address certain complications, or the desire to return to a more natural look.
What is breast implant removal?
Breast implant removal, also known as explantation, is a surgical procedure in which existing implants are permanently removed without replacing them with new ones. This procedure is performed for various reasons, including the patient’s personal decision, changes in breast appearance over time, the occurrence of complications, capsular contracture, implant rupture, or a recommendation from a plastic surgeon. Depending on the condition of the tissue and the desired outcome, explantation can be combined with a breast lift to achieve a natural and harmonious appearance after implant removal.
Preoperative and postoperative consultations
Before surgery, a detailed examination and consultation with a plastic surgeon are performed. During the consultation, the condition of the implants, skin and tissue quality, breast elasticity, and the patient’s expectations are evaluated. Based on the examination, an individualized surgical plan is created. After the procedure, regular follow-up appointments are scheduled to monitor recovery, tissue healing, and achieve the best possible aesthetic and functional result.
Preparation for surgery
Before implant removal, laboratory tests and other diagnostic examinations recommended by the surgeon must be performed. The patient receives detailed instructions regarding preparation for surgery, including nutrition, current medications, and behavior in the days before the procedure. Proper preparation contributes to a safe operation and easier postoperative recovery.
Type of anesthesia
Breast implant removal is most commonly performed under general anesthesia, ensuring that the patient does not experience pain or discomfort during the procedure. Throughout the entire operation, the anesthesia team monitors vital functions and ensures maximum safety.
The surgical procedure
The surgery typically lasts between one and two hours, depending on the complexity of the procedure and the condition of the implants. The surgeon carefully removes the implants and, if necessary, the surrounding capsule. If there is excess skin or significant breast sagging, the procedure can be combined with a breast lift to achieve a more natural shape and improved firmness.
Recovery after surgery
After the procedure, the patient remains under medical supervision according to the surgeon’s recommendation, most commonly until the following day. During recovery, it is necessary to wear a compression bra and follow all postoperative instructions. A return to light daily activities is possible after several days, while physical exertion and intensive exercise are generally postponed for four to six weeks. Regular follow-up appointments allow monitoring of the healing process and ensure a safe recovery.

Frequently Asked Questions
Breast implant removal may be performed for various reasons — due to a patient’s desire for a change in appearance, a more natural look of the breasts, implant replacement, the occurrence of discomfort or complications, or changes in life circumstances. The decision to remove implants is made individually, after consultation with a plastic surgery specialist.

The appearance of the breasts after implant removal depends on the implant size, skin quality, the amount of natural breast tissue, and the length of time the implants have been present. In some patients, the breasts gradually adapt to their new shape, while in others, additional tightening or reshaping of the tissue may be required.
The incision is usually made in the location of the previous incision, allowing the existing scar to be reused. The surgeon aims to place the incision in a discreet area and ensure that the scar is as inconspicuous as possible after healing.
Yes, in some patients, implant removal can be combined with a breast lift (mastopexy). This procedure allows for the removal of excess skin and reshaping of the breast to achieve a more balanced and natural appearance after implant removal. The decision to perform an additional correction is made after an examination and assessment of the quality of the breast tissue.
There is no universally determined time when breast implants must be removed. The decision depends on the condition of the implants, the patient’s wishes, changes in the breasts over time, and the recommendation of a plastic surgeon.
