Breast implant removal surgery is the act of extracting implants originally placed during a breast augmentation procedure. At times, due to arising complications or a shift in aesthetic preferences, the need for such a surgery becomes necessary. This practice, although common in the world of aesthetic surgery, plays an essential role in guiding patients back to their innate form by liberating their breasts from the implants. It’s a transformative journey from enhanced to natural, navigating the contours of change and personal choice.
Breast Implant Removal Surgery is often required in a condition called capsular contracture. This occurs when the body’s immune system perceives the prosthesis as a foreign body and forms a capsule around it. Capsular contracture can be a complication requiring removal of dentures.
Breast Implant Removal Surgery may also be required in cases such as prosthesis sagging or asymmetry. Over time, it is possible for the implants to be displaced or deformed.
It is the condition that the prosthesis located under the breast tissue moves downwards.
It is the situation where the breast tissue where the prostheses are placed is in different shapes or positions. These situations include situations where Breast Implant Removal Surgery may be an option.
Breast Implant Removal Surgery may also be required if patients’ aesthetic preferences change over time. Someone who first prefers a fuller appearance during the placement of the prosthesis may prefer a natural appearance over time. The change in aesthetic preferences may be a motivation for a person to consider Breast Implant Removal Surgery.
The evaluation includes factors such as the patient’s general health status, the implantation process of the Breast Implant, the type and size of the prostheses, the problems caused by the prosthesis, if any, and the patient’s expectations.
In this process, a plastic surgeon evaluates the patient’s health history and current condition. It is determined whether the patient is suitable for the removal of prostheses. In addition, the condition of the patient’s breast tissue and complications such as capsular contracture, if any, are also evaluated.
There are also preliminary preparations that the patient should make before the operation. According to the doctor’s instructions, some tests may be done, a special diet may be applied, or existing medications may need to be adjusted.
When planning Breast Implant Removal Surgery, the patient’s expectations and the evaluations of the plastic surgeon are taken into account. Decisions are made about how the surgery will be performed, which techniques will be used, and what the postoperative results will be.
In the decision-making process, the condition of the patient’s breast tissue, the condition of the implants, the presence of complications and personal preferences are taken into account. At this stage, the experience and expertise of the doctor is also important.
There are different techniques and methods for Breast Implant Removal Surgery. Surgical techniques are selected depending on the patient’s anatomical structure, prosthesis placement method and postoperative goals.
For Breast Implant Removal Surgery, the first step is usually to remove the implant by inserting it through the existing incision. The surgeon carefully makes the skin incision and carefully removes the prosthesis. This process is performed together with the capsule tissue, in which the implant is firmly placed.
Capsular contracture occurs when a hard capsule that forms around the implant becomes compressed. During Breast Implant Removal Surgery, the surgeon can make the necessary interventions to correct this situation. Capsule tissue can be removed or loosened as appropriate.
In some cases, breast tissue may need to be reconstructed after the Breast Implant is removed. In this case, the surgeon may use different techniques to reshape the breast tissue and restore symmetry. Breast tissue reconstruction is performed depending on the patient’s preference and the surgeon’s evaluation.
The instructions given to you in the postoperative period are given to support the healthy healing of the wound and to prevent possible complications. These instructions may include steps such as wound care, medication use, bandage change. Following your doctor’s instructions exactly will help speed up the healing process and reduce the risk of complications. Dr. Erkan Kural and his team, we are with you in this whole process with all our experience.
You need to be careful to protect your sutures and prevent wound infection after Breast Implant Removal Surgery. Your doctor will advise you on how to clean the stitches, whether they need to stay moist, and how to make bandage changes. Compliance with hygiene rules to support wound healing reduces the risk of infection.
In order to cope with the pain and discomfort that may occur after the surgery, you should regularly use the painkillers prescribed by your doctor. Taking medications in the right dose and frequency keeps pain under control and supports the healing process. As the pain subsides, you can gradually increase your activities according to your doctor’s instructions. However, you should avoid overexertion and take time to rest.
It is important to get the nutrients your body needs for the healing process. Following a diet rich in protein, antioxidants and vitamins supports tissue regeneration. Consuming enough water also speeds up the healing process. You should arrange your nutrition plan in line with your doctor’s recommendations and meet your body’s needs with healthy foods.
It is important to receive emotional and psychological support after Breast Implant Removal Surgery. Changes in body appearance can have an emotional impact on patients. Joining support groups or talking to a therapist supports staying emotionally strong and providing relief during the healing process.
