At Palms Wellington Plastic Surgery in Wellington, FL, we offer a procedure called breast implant removal that’s suited for women who want to have their breast implants removed for various reasons. When you trust Dr. Nir and our surgical team to perform this procedure, you can expect a customized procedure, an excellent experience, and the best and most natural-looking results.
What Is Breast Implant Removal?
Breast implant removal is a type of plastic surgery in which implants are removed from the body for various reasons.
Some patients who undergo breast implant removal surgery opt to have their implants replaced with new ones, or they choose to have them removed altogether but undergo a breast lift at the same time to improve and enhance breast aesthetics.
What Are the Reasons for Having Breast Implants Removed?
Patients choose to undergo breast implant removal for many reasons. For some, they feel like their breast implants no longer suit them, cause back or body pain, draw too much attention to their bodies, or make it difficult to buy clothes.
Others are simply tired of their implants and want to have them removed so they can achieve a more natural appearance.
The Desire For Natural, Implant-Free Breasts
Other patients choose breast implant removal in Delray Beach, FL because they want to have natural-looking breasts and restore their natural appearance. This is simply a preference among those who have lived with breast implants for decades.
Capsular Contracture
Capsular contracture is a condition in which a capsule of scar tissue forms around the breast implant; unlike typical scar tissue, it feels very hard and causes pain and discomfort. Instead of feeling like normal breast tissue, the breast implants will feel hard and look misshapen.
Depending on the severity of capsular contracture, patients suffering from this condition may experience moderate to severe symptoms and discomfort. Implant removal is the solution to resolve this condition, alleviate pain and discomfort, and address specific concerns.
Breast Implant Illness
Breast implant illness is a condition in which individuals react poorly to the presence of implants in their bodies. While this condition is not diagnosable, and the only way to confirm it is through breast implant removal, many women experiencing health symptoms opt to have their implants removed in the hopes of alleviating these symptoms.
Patients in West Palm Beach or Boynton Beach, FL who choose implant removal because of breast implant illness symptoms and wellness concerns can still improve their breast aesthetics with another cosmetic surgery called a breast lift. Those who decide to proceed with this form of surgery will also be able to customize the surgery based on their needs.
A Ruptured Implant
Though rare, implants can rupture after the initial implant surgery, causing other complications that may affect overall health. A ruptured implant typically will occur due to a hole or tear in the breast implant caused by surgical instruments, trauma to the area, compression during a mammogram, or capsular contracture.
Women in West Palm Beach, Florida whose implants have ruptured must schedule a breast implant removal to address the faulty implant and resolve it with the right surgical treatment plan.
Replacing Breast Implants With Newer Ones
Some patients who elect to undergo breast implant removal in Palm Beach, FL do so to have their original implants replaced with newer options. This plastic surgery procedure often includes other procedures to help patients achieve their ideal results.
The right surgeon can help determine the best implants for each patient who wants to replace older ones with new implants to maintain their ideal body shape.
Customizing Your Procedure With a Breast Lift
Patients who undergo breast implant removal in Palm Beach, Florida often add a breast lift to enhance their natural breast tissue. This procedure is designed to reshape the breasts and uses specific cosmetic techniques to remove excess skin and address skin conditions like skin laxity. Loose skin causes the breasts to sag or droop and results from aging, nursing, weight fluctuations, gravity, and other factors; this procedure will restore tighter skin and improve overall breast aesthetics.
This popular cosmetic surgery in Boynton Beach will boost self-confidence after breast implant removal and help patients achieve youthful-looking breasts. When you schedule a breast lift at Palms Wellington Plastic Surgery, we’ll schedule your consultation with Dr. Nir at our private practice, give you more details about the breast lift, and customize your plastic surgery procedure.
What Should I Expect From a Breast Implant Removal Procedure?
Patients who undergo a breast implant removal procedure in Delray Beach or Palm Beach with Dr. Nir can expect a customized surgical treatment plan, excellent care throughout the entire process, and natural-looking results.
Your Consultation
The first step is a plastic surgery consultation at our Florida office in Wellington, during which Dr. Nir will confirm your surgical eligibility, learn more about your concerns, explain the total cost, and give you more details about other cosmetic procedures that can be performed at the same time as your breast implant removal.
Whether you’re possibly interested in other procedures or you know you want to add one to your surgery, Dr. Nir will confirm you’re a good candidate so you can move forward. Other popular cosmetic procedures that patients often add to their surgical treatment plan include rhinoplasty, the facelift, and liposuction.
Preparing for Your Procedure
Once you complete your consultation at our office and we confirm that you’re a good candidate for this plastic surgery, Dr. Nir will provide you with some specific instructions about how to prepare your body for plastic surgery. You’ll need to avoid certain medications and take steps to ensure you’re in optimal health before your cosmetic procedure.
Your Surgery
On the day of your cosmetic surgery, you’ll need someone to drive you to and from our office. Once you head into surgery, Dr. Nir will complete the surgical treatment plan, make incisions, remove your implants, and replace them if you choose to go that route. Once it’s over, you’ll move right into recovery.
Your Recovery
After surgery, you’ll need to spend time resting and recovering. Like other doctors, Dr. Nir provides each patient with a thorough list of post-operative instructions. You’ll need to take steps to care for the incisions, eat a healthy diet, and avoid strenuous exercise for several weeks as you heal.
Most people feel like themselves again within the first two weeks. Recovery times vary based on the extent of the procedure. Dr. Nir will tell you what kind of recovery to expect at your consultation so you can plan accordingly.
Your Results
Your results will vary based on the details of your surgical plan and what is performed during the surgery. Regardless of your age, your surgical treatment goals, or what procedures you choose to undergo in combination with your breast implant removal, you’ll achieve the best results when you choose an experienced doctor and a trained team of staff members.
