Barranquilla, Colombia
It is a surgical procedure performed to remove existing breast implants. Depending on your wishes, it can be done in one of three ways:
- Removal Only: The implants are extracted.
- Removal with Lift/Fat Transfer: The implants are extracted, and a lift (mastopexy) or a fat transfer is performed to improve the shape of the natural breast.
- Implant Exchange: The current implants are removed and replaced with new ones, such as MOTIVA implants, to change the size, shape, or type.
It must be performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon with exceptional expertise in secondary and revision breast surgery. This is a complex procedure that requires specialized skills to safely remove or replace breast implants while preserving the breast tissue and maintaining optimal aesthetic results. Our team has the necessary experience to handle these cases with maximum safety.
- A Frequent Procedure: You are not alone. Over 341,000 implant removal surgeries were performed worldwide in 2024, making it a safe and very common option.
- The Capsule is Key: Around every implant, the body forms an internal scar called a capsule. During your consultation, it will be discussed whether this capsule should be partially or totally removed (capsulectomy), depending on your case.
- The Result Depends on Your Tissue: The appearance of your breasts after removal will depend on the amount of your own breast tissue and the elasticity of your skin. This is why a simultaneous lift is often recommended.
- Recovery: Recovery is generally fast, similar to a breast augmentation, although it can vary if additional procedures like a lift are performed.
