Breast Implant Removal Overview

What Is Breast Implant Removal?

Breast implant removal, or explant surgery, is a surgical procedure to remove breast implants for aesthetic, medical, or personal reasons. Some patients choose removal due to implant-related complications, while others may opt for a more natural silhouette.

The procedure can be performed on its own or with additional treatments such as:

  • Capsulectomy: Removal of the scar tissue (capsule) around the implant
  • Fat Transfer: Using natural fat to restore volume after implant removal
  • Breast Lift (Mastopexy): Lifting and reshaping the breasts to restore a youthful contour

At PVPS, our surgeons customize your breast implant removal in Ponte Vedra Beach based on your body type, aesthetic goals, and overall health to achieve the most attractive results.

Who Is a Candidate for Breast Implant Removal?

Ideal candidates for breast implant removal include the following:

  • Are dissatisfied with their implants or seek a more natural look
  • Have experienced implant-related complications such as rupture or capsular contracture
  • Are in good overall health and at a stable weight
  • Do not smoke or are willing to quit before surgery
  • Have realistic expectations about the results of implant removal

During your consultation at Ponte Vedra Plastic Surgery, our compassionate, caring breast surgeons will assess your goals, review your medical history, evaluate your breasts, and recommend the most effective approach for you.

What Is the Breast Implant Removal Procedure?

Depending on your needs, breast implant removal can be performed as a stand-alone procedure or with additional procedures, such as a breast lift or fat transfer, to maintain a natural, youthful shape. 

You may experience mild swelling and discomfort in the early stages of healing. Wearing a supportive surgical bra is part of healthy healing and ensuring an aesthetic outcome. While light activities can be resumed within a few days, all strenuous exercise must be avoided for about four to six weeks to heal tissue. Final results continue to improve over several months as the tissues settle and heal.
