Breast Implant Removal Dallas

Breast implants may need to be removed because of a change in aesthetic preference, complications with the implants, and other factors that may arise. Dr Beale will work with you to understand your needs and safely remove your breast implants, either replacing them with new ones, augmenting them with fat transfer, or simply removing them and attractively reshaping the breasts.

What is breast implant removal?

Breast implant removal, also known as breast explant surgery, is a procedure that removes breast implants that are no longer wanted. Once the breast implants are removed, new implants of the same or a different size, type, or shape can be inserted.

Some women may not want to continue with implants but would like a fuller breast appearance. Dr Beale will augment the breasts with a fat transfer breast augmentation to achieve an increase of one or two cup sizes with your own natural fat tissue.

Women who do not wish to have augmentation of any kind can have a breast implant removal alone or opt for a breast lift to attractively raise and shape the breasts, achieving a youthful, perky appearance.

What are the common reasons for breast implant removal?

Breast implants may need to be removed for a range of reasons, including the following:

A change in the desired size and shape of the breasts

Aesthetic preferences change, and the look and shape of your implants may not be what you want anymore. Breast implant removal can provide larger or smaller implants with more projection, a different shape or feel, or a more ideal placement.

A desire for an alternative breast augmentation

Women who prefer an alternative method of breast augmentation don’t need to rely on breast implants. Breast augmentation with fat transfer achieves breast augmentation with your own natural fat tissue. Unwanted fat is removed from any area with enough excess fat. This area may be the abdomen, thighs, arms, bra roll, or other sites. Once the fat is removed, it is purified and then injected carefully into the breasts to achieve full, round symmetry.

Implant complications

While it is rare, breast implants may malfunction, fold, shift, harden, or rupture. Complications with breast implants include the following concerns:

Breast pain
Breast Implant Illness (BII)
Folding, deflation, or rupture
Capsular contracture (the hardening and tightening of the capsule, tissue surrounding the breast implants)
Silicone leakage
Implant asymmetry
Shifted implants due to pregnancy or fluctuations in weight

What are the options for breast implant removal?

During your consultation, Dr Beale will discuss your concerns about your breast implants and your aesthetic goals for your breasts. There are different types of breast implant removal in Dallas, and he will cover each of these with you in detail. Based on what you decide in your consultation, Dr Beale will design a customized surgical plan for you that is designed to remove your current breast implants and achieve your ideal breast appearance.

Breast implant removal options

Your options for breast implant removal include the following procedures:

Capsulectomy

A capsulectomy is performed for a variety of reasons, most commonly to resolve capsular contracture or breast implant illness. Capsular contracture is the painful hardening of the capsule, scar tissue your body naturally forms around breast implants or anything foreign in the body.

Capsular contracture requires a capsulectomy to remove the implants. Incisions are made at the bottom of the breast, then upward to the areola. The implant and surrounding capsule are meticulously separated from the tissues, then removed completely intact.

Breast implant removal with replacement implants

The existing breast implants are removed using the same incisions you had during your original breast implant surgery. The implants are replaced with new ones that suit your aesthetic preference as to size and shape.

Breast implant removal with replacement implants and breast lift

A breast augmentation with lift raises the breasts higher on the chest wall and achieve a perky, uptilted shape.

A breast lift can also be performed if you prefer not to have new implants inserted once the original ones are removed. This procedure helps to shape and lift your breasts, removing excess skin and achieving a more youthful, appealing appearance.

Breast implant removal and fat transfer

After your implants are removed, Dr Beale will use gentle liposuction to remove fat from a predetermined area of your body that you would like to contour and sculpt. The fat tissue is carefully purified before it is injected into your breasts. This increases breast size by 1-2 cups and enhances the breast shape and symmetry.

Breast implant removal without augmentation or lift

Breast implant removal may be performed as a singular action for women who want to leave the breasts without new implants, a breast lift, or new fat tissue.

What is the recovery period after breast implant removal?

In many cases, the recovery period after breast implant removal in Dallas is easier for women than their original breast augmentation procedure. You will need a friend or family member to drive you home and help you after your procedure, and you will experience swelling and bruising. This will begin to subside after about one week.

Dr Beale will provide a compression bra that you should constantly wear during your recovery period to minimize swelling and help your breasts to heal in their new contours.

Give yourself plenty of time to rest and recuperate during your healing period. Sleep on your side or back to protect your breasts. Don’t exert yourself or lift anything that weighs more than five pounds.

Most women can return to sedentary work or light activity after about one week. Do not exercise again until 4-6 weeks have passed. If you had new implants placed in your breasts, residual swelling will fade over the following weeks and months as the breasts ultimately settle into their final position.
