What is Breast Implant Removal?

Breast implant removal, also known as explant surgery, involves the careful removal of breast implants for medical, cosmetic, or personal reasons. It can restore the natural shape of your breasts or prepare them for new implants or additional reconstructive surgery.

Many women choose this procedure due to implant-related complications, lifestyle changes, or a desire for a more natural appearance. During the procedure, any scar tissue (capsule) around the implants may also be removed if necessary.

Breast implant removal is a highly individual decision. Our experienced surgeons will guide you through the process to ensure the procedure aligns with your goals and expectations.

What Happens During Surgery?

Breast implant removal surgery is typically performed under general anaesthetic. Depending on your needs, the procedure may involve:

Standard Removal: The implant is removed without altering the surrounding tissue.

Capsulectomy: Scar tissue around the implant is also removed for a smoother, more natural result.

Replacement or Revision: Some patients may opt for replacement implants or fat transfer to maintain volume.

The result is a more comfortable and natural breast shape, helping patients feel confident and aligned with their body goals.

Is Breast Implant Removal Right For Me?

This procedure is ideal for individuals facing implant-related complications such as rupture or capsular contracture, changes in aesthetic preferences, or health and lifestyle factors that make implants less desirable. Candidates should be in good health, maintain realistic expectations, and consult with our experts to identify the most suitable approach.
Breast implant removal offers relief from discomfort or complications, restoring the natural shape of your breasts. The procedure enhances overall well-being and confidence, while also providing the freedom to explore further aesthetic enhancements if desired.
As with any surgery, risks include infection, scarring, and temporary changes in breast sensitivity. These will be discussed in detail during your consultation.

I had my breast implant removal and replant on the 28th November. My advisor Sophie was at hand if needed any questions answering. My surgeon was Mr Cheema he listened to how I wanted my new breasts to look he was friendly and approachable ,would definitely recommend him. My stay a Burcot Hall hospital was good the staff looked after me very well if I wanted anything they were there nothing was to much trouble. This is my second time with Transform would most definitely recommend them.

    FAQ's

    Considering surgery often comes with questions about the procedure, recovery, and results. Our FAQ section provides clear, concise answers to help you make informed decisions and feel confident in your journey.

    During the surgery, your implants are carefully removed under general anaesthetic. If necessary, surrounding scar tissue (capsule) may also be removed, and additional procedures such as fat transfer or implant replacement can be performed if requested.

    Most patients can return to light activities within 1-2 weeks, but full recovery typically takes around 6 weeks. Your surgeon will provide personalised advice on aftercare and resuming normal routines.

    Scarring is minimal and usually fades over time. The surgeon often uses the same incision site from your original implant surgery to minimise additional scarring.

    Yes, many patients opt for implant replacement or other enhancement options, such as fat transfer, during the same procedure. Your surgeon will discuss your preferences during the consultation.

    Insurance coverage varies depending on the reason for the surgery. If removal is medically necessary (e.g., due to rupture or capsular contracture), it may be covered. Consult your provider for details.
