What Are the Reasons for Implant Removal in the First Place?

There can be many reasons why a woman decides to remove her implants. Whether it is unhappiness with the results, complications over time, or the very rare side effects are just too much, breast implant removal can be performed at any point. There’s no right or wrong reason to get your implants removed. It is your body after all, and you need to make sure you are healthy, happy, and confident.

Leave Them Out for a Natural Look

Some patients prefer a more natural look. If you’ve given implants a shot and you just don’t like them or don’t want them anymore, that is OK. They’re not for everyone. If you’ve had them for years and they just don’t suit your lifestyle anymore, that is also OK. Often, women complain about their back, neck, or shoulders hurting, so removing the implants would increase their quality of life. Women with a natural breast appearance can still wear flattering outfits, and they may even be able to participate in sports or activities more than they had in the past.

Get New Implants Placed

Another option after implant removal is to have new implants placed. This is most common if the implants are old, if they had some complications, such as bottoming out, capsular contracture, or implant rupture, or if you just want a change in shape, position, or feel. Having regular check-up appointments and knowing what you want can help if you desire to have new implants placed. Breast lift and fat transfer are also techniques to consider when having your implants removed.

No matter what your decision is, a consultation with Dr. D’Souza is essential that way he can discuss your options, concerns, and overall breast goals. At that point, you can both come up with a plan of action and make the best decision for your needs and desires at this time. Again, this is your body, and you need to make sure you are confident and comfortable no matter what!
