If you are considering Breast implant removal in Mumbai, Dr. Amiti Shah at Shah Superspeciality Clinic offers consultations for implant removal and replacement based on individual needs. The treatment plan considers your medical history, the condition of your implants, breast tissue, skin elasticity, and desired outcome. A personalised assessment helps determine whether removal alone, implant replacement, or an additional procedure may be appropriate.
Breast implant removal, also called explant surgery, is a surgical procedure to remove one or both breast implants previously placed during breast augmentation or reconstructive surgery. Depending on the patient’s circumstances, the procedure may involve removing the implants alone, replacing them with new implants, or combining removal with a breast lift.
The surrounding scar tissue, known as the capsule, may also need to be addressed. The extent of capsule removal depends on clinical findings, implant complications, and the surgeon’s assessment. Complete capsule removal is not necessary in every case.
The primary objectives are to address implant-related concerns, improve comfort where possible, and help patients achieve an outcome that aligns with their health needs and personal preferences.
There are several reasons why a patient may choose to remove breast implants.
Breast implants are not lifetime devices, and future surgery may be necessary. However, removal is not automatically required simply because an implant has been in place for many years. Regular follow-up and appropriate investigations help guide decisions.
The surgical approach depends on whether the patient wants implant removal alone, replacement, or additional reshaping. During a consultation for Breast implant removal in Mumbai, Dr. Amiti Shah assesses the existing implants, breast tissue, skin condition, and the patient’s expectations before recommending a suitable approach.
In this procedure, the surgeon removes the existing implants. The incision may be placed along the previous surgical scar when appropriate. After removal, the breasts may appear smaller, and their shape will depend on the amount of natural breast tissue, skin elasticity, and changes that occurred while the implants were in place.
