Change Can Be Healthy

Breast implant removal allows people who are having problems with their breast enhancement or are unhappy with the outcomes of their breast augmentation to reclaim the aesthetics of their breasts.

Board-certified plastic surgeon, Michael N. Mirzabeigi, MD, is regarded among the most experienced Atlanta Breast Implant Removal providers and can help restore your body and get you feeling better.

What is Breast Implant Removal?

Be satisfied with your body

Breast Implant Removal surgery is an operation that removes breast implants and revises the size and form of the remaining breast tissue to reverse a breast augmentation. Some of these Breast Implant Removal operations include removing and replacing the implant, relocating the existing implant, and removing the breast implant without replacing it.

Why is Breast Implant Removal done?

Reasons for Opting for the Procedure

There are several reasons why many women choose to undergo Breast Implant Removal. One common reason is experiencing complications such as capsular contracture, where scar tissue around the implant hardens and causes discomfort or changes in the breast's appearance. Other issues might include implant rupture or leakage, leading to health concerns and the need for corrective surgery.

Beyond physical complications, many decide to remove their implants for personal reasons. Over time, aesthetic preferences can change, and the desire for a more natural look might emerge. Additionally, some women experience Breast Implant Illness (BII), a condition with symptoms like fatigue, joint pain, and cognitive issues, which they attribute to their implants. Removing the implants can alleviate these symptoms and improve overall well-being.

What are the benefits of Breast Implant Removal?

Fit your lifestyle

There are numerous reasons you might choose to have a Breast Implant Removal surgery. For example, you may be in a different stage in your life than when you had your breast augmentation. Your physical appearance and way of living may have changed. Getting Breast Implant Removal from an expert in the field like Dr. Mirzabeigi will make sure that your breasts continue to look beautiful and shapely, with or without implants.

Here are some key benefits of this procedure:

  • Health Improvements: Removing implants can alleviate symptoms associated with complications like capsular contracture, implant rupture, or breast implant illness, leading to an overall improvement in health and well-being.
  • Natural Appearance: Returning to your natural breast size can enhance comfort and restore your body's natural silhouette, making you feel more at ease in your skin.
  • Reduced Maintenance: Without implants, there's no need for future surgeries to replace or adjust them, reducing long-term healthcare costs and the need for ongoing monitoring.
  • Lifestyle Alignment: As life changes, so do aesthetic preferences. Removing implants can better align your appearance with your current lifestyle, whether it's due to changes in fashion, fitness routines, or personal taste.
  • Psychological Benefits: For some, removing implants can relieve the psychological burden associated with worrying about implant complications, leading to increased peace of mind and body positivity.

Am I a good candidate for Breast Implant Removal?

A Personal Decision

Breast Implant Removal surgery is a very personal operation with medical and aesthetic considerations. It can be done if you have capsular contracture (hardening of the breast), imaging has revealed a implant leak, or if you no longer want your implants. Mirzabeigi Atlanta Plastic Surgery strives to offer the best and safest Breast Implant Removal Atlanta has to offer. Dr. Mirzabeigi will review any reasons for needing this procedure during your consultation and help you determine the best path forward for your goals and your body.

Can You Get Breast Implants Again After Removal?

Considering a New Journey

Some patients may decide they want to get breast implants again after removal. This can be due to a variety of reasons, such as changes in body weight or a desire to regain the fuller volume they once had with implants. Although not extremely common, this option is available for those who miss the enhanced look and feel of implants.

Health and Safety First

As long as you are in good health and deemed a good candidate for surgery, it is generally safe to place implants again after removal. Dr. Mirzabeigi will assess your overall health and discuss your goals to ensure that getting new implants aligns with your aesthetic desires and physical well-being. It's all about making sure you feel confident and satisfied with your body.

Your Breast Implant Removal Procedure

Attention to Detail

An incision along the lower fold of your breast (the inframammary fold) or an incision around or below the areola is required for Breast Implant Removal. Dr. Mirzabeigi will determine which one based on your specific operation.

A Breast Implant Removal will result in an altered form of the breast profile, which may be flatter or droopier than before surgery, with irregularities and indentations. Because of this, you may want to include a breast lift or fat grafting as a combination procedure with your Breast Implant Removal. Dr. Mirzabeigi specializes in combination Breast Implant Removal in Atlanta, and can offer you expert guidance on the best path to beautiful results.

Breast Implant Removal Results

ultimate benefits

The final outcome of Breast Implant Removal surgery will be heavily influenced by the size of the implants being removed as well as the quantity and quality of your remaining breast tissue.

Scar tissue that was around your implants will also play a significant impact in your eventual outcome. Swelling and postoperative alterations will also require time before the final results are available. Healing can take up to a year before the ultimate benefits become apparent.

How much does Breast Implant Removal cost?

The cost of breast implant removal surgery can vary widely, as each procedure is personalized to meet the specific needs and goals of the patient. Factors influencing the cost include the materials and techniques used, the complexity of the surgery, and whether additional procedures, such as a breast lift or fat transfer, are performed simultaneously.

When considering the cost of breast implant removal, it's important to note what's typically included. The total price often encompasses surgical fees, anesthesia, and facility fees. These components ensure that you receive comprehensive care from the initial consultation through to the recovery phase. Keep in mind that costs can vary significantly depending on your geographic location, with prices generally higher in metropolitan areas compared to rural regions.
