Is Breast Implant Removal Painful?

Breast implant removal is not painful during the surgery, as you will be under anesthesia. You will likely wake up with some soreness, swelling, and discomfort after your procedure, which will last for about a week and gradually decline. Prescribed pain medication will help you minimize the pain.

How Many Appointments Will I Need?

You will need to attend several appointments at our office in Dallas throughout the full breast implant removal process. Patients generally attend around 5-6 appointments over the course of one year, including an initial consultation, the surgery, and follow-up appointments to check on their progress.

How Long Until I See Results?

You will not be able to see results for the first few weeks because you will be swollen and wear a supportive bra or garments. After about one month, the swelling will have reduced, and you will begin to see the breasts settling. The most substantial results will occur around 3-6 months, as the breasts appear more natural and settled. Your breasts will continue to take shape until they reach their final stage after a total of around 12 months.

Can I Combine Breast Implant Removal with Other Procedures?

There are several other procedures that we offer at HIM Plastic Surgery in Dallas that you may qualify to combine with your breast implant removal. Some common procedures combined with breast implant removal are a breast lift , tummy tuck , or liposuction . These combinations result in a more comprehensive body enhancement.

What Are the Risks Associated with Breast Implant Removal?

Here are some risks that you should keep in mind: Bleeding and hematoma Infection Anesthesia complications Scarring Fluid buildup Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) Change in nipple or breast sensation Asymmetry in breast appearance Skin discoloration Fat necrosis Deflated or sagging breasts Lung injury Leakage or implant rupture, resulting in lumps or inflammation

What is Breast Implant Removal?

Breast implant removal is a surgical procedure that removes breast implants from individuals who are facing complications surrounding their breast implants or desire a more natural look for their augmented breasts. These complications include symptoms of Breast Implant Illness (BII), which include symptoms like fatigue, pain, and brain fog, capsular contracture, leakage, shifting, or infection. Individuals who desire a more natural look may want to return to their original breast size and appearance, or update it based on lifestyle changes and preferences.

The procedure involves general anesthesia, incisions (often in the same spot as the previous incision), removal of the implant and surrounding scar tissue, and sutures to close the incisions.

Let’s Get Started

What’s the First Step?

The first step to receiving any procedure at HIM & HER Plastic Surgery in Dallas is to schedule a consultation with one of our highly experienced surgeons. While you meet with your personal surgeon, they will ask for your aesthetic goals, medical history, medical questions, and concerns regarding your breast implants. A physical exam will be performed to assess the condition of your breast implants to see if you qualify for the procedure. If you meet the requirements, you will be given a personalized treatment and payment plan tailored to your body.

What to Expect on the Day of Breast Implant Removal Surgery

On the day of your breast implant removal surgery at HIM & HER Plastic Surgery in Dallas, you should make sure you have a designated person available to drive and help you for the first 1-2 days in case you need help. You may be asked not to eat and stop taking blood-thinning medication before your surgery to prevent complications.

When the procedure begins, you will be given anesthesia, so you will be unable to feel the procedure. Your surgeon will make incisions in the marked areas, usually at the same site where you received the implants, and remove the implants. The surgery will finish with sutures to close the incisions and dressings applied to keep swelling down. When you wake up, you’ll be groggy and feel some discomfort in the treated areas. The procedure will last around 1-3 hours.

Breast Implant Removal Recovery

Your personalized breast implant recovery steps will be provided to you by our post-surgical team after your surgery in Dallas. You’ll be sore, bruised, and swollen from the surgery, so you will be prescribed pain medication to tolerate the discomfort and a special surgical or support bra to wear for 2-4 weeks at all times, unless you are showering. You may go on short walks, but you should avoid driving. Avoid heavy lifting for at least six weeks. Patients usually return to work 1-2 weeks after their surgery.
