What is Breast implant Removal?
Breast implant removal, also known as explant surgery, involves the surgical removal of breast implants. This procedure may be chosen for various reasons, including health concerns, complications, or personal preference to return to a more natural breast appearance.
What applications is this used for?
- Complications: Issues such as capsular contracture, implant rupture, or chronic pain may necessitate removal.
- Health Concerns: Some patients experience systemic symptoms that they attribute to their implants and choose removal for health reasons.
- Aesthetic Preferences: Changes in aesthetic goals or lifestyle preferences may lead to the decision to remove implants.
- Aging Implants: Implants have a limited lifespan and may require removal after many years.
The Procedure
- Consultation: Your journey begins with a thorough consultation with Mr Jeevan. During this session, you’ll discuss your reasons for removal, desired outcomes, and any concerns you may have.
- Anesthesia: The surgery is performed under general anesthesia to ensure your comfort.
- Incision: The surgeon will make an incision, typically using the original incision site to minimize additional scarring.
- Implant Removal: The implants are carefully removed. If necessary, the surrounding scar tissue (capsule) may also be removed, a procedure known as capsulectomy.
- Reshaping: Depending on your goals and the condition of your breast tissue, Mr Jeevan may recommend additional procedures such as a breast lift (mastopexy) to improve the contour and appearance of your breasts after implant removal.
- Closing Incisions: Incisions are closed with sutures, skin adhesives, or surgical tape. Your breasts will be bandaged, and a support garment may be provided to aid in healing.
What results can i expect ?
- Natural Appearance: Return to your natural breast shape and size, with improvements in contour and firmness if a lift was performed.
- Relief from Symptoms: Alleviation of any complications or symptoms related to your implants.
- Improved Comfort: Many patients report feeling more comfortable and at ease with their natural breast appearance.
Is breast implant Removal right for you ?
Ideal candidates for breast implant removal are in good health, have realistic expectations, and are seeking to remove their implants for personal or medical reasons. During your consultation, Mr Jeevan will discuss your goals and help you decide if this procedure is right for you.
What is the recovery time ?
- Initial Recovery (1-2 Weeks): Expect some swelling, bruising, and discomfort, which can be managed with prescribed medications. Most patients can resume light activities within a few days.
- Intermediate Recovery (3-6 Weeks): Gradually increase your activity level while avoiding heavy lifting and strenuous exercise. Follow your surgeon’s guidelines for wearing support garments.
- Full Recovery (6 Weeks and Beyond): Most patients fully recover within 6-8 weeks, with final results becoming more apparent as swelling subsides.
what patients say
Supportive..
Mr Jeevan is considerate and conscientious. He always makes time for his patients and goes above and beyond to make sure that they feel supported. I cannot recommend him highly enough.
Exactly what I had hoped for...
My final results are exactly what I had hoped for. I feel youthful and light again. They look lovely and the scars are barely visible and diminishing nicely. The 12 month check up aftercare has been brilliant. There’s nothing negative I can say. I’ve never had any kind of surgery before and the whole experience has been so reassuring. If you’re looking for a surgeon who gives great care and great results, look no further.
Perfect end result...
I recently had a breast augmentation with Mr Jeevan and it’s been the best decision I ever made. The end result is perfect and has give me some much needed confidence. Now let’s start with Mr Jeevan himself, he has been amazing throughout my Journey. From start to finish he really couldn’t do enough. From the very first consultation, he advised me on sizing, procedure and give me some much needed reassurance (I was a very nervous and squeamish patient). He has been very professional, approachable and accommodating
