What is breast implant removal?

Many women are very concerned about the development of their breasts, especially those with small breasts, who will look for many ways to enlarge their breasts. Generally speaking, there are many ways to enlarge breasts, and breast augmentation with implants is very common. Breast augmentation with implants is the fastest way to achieve breast enhancement. However, some people may reject the implants, in which case the implants generally need to be removed. So what is breast implant removal? What should I pay attention to?

1. Can liquid breast implants be removed?

The injected prosthesis is in liquid form and can only be removed through breast augmentation surgery. Liquid implants can only be seen during breast augmentation surgery. The implants are jelly-like, yellow and viscous. As long as the tricks are appropriate, most of them can be taken out.

2. Do you know how to remove the prosthetic material?

Because the implant is relatively viscous, it cannot be sucked out with a small needle as is done during injection. Instead, a small incision must be made and a thicker suction device introduced to extract the implant. The incision for liquid breast augmentation surgery can only be designed in the inframammary fold or areola, 1-2 cm is enough, and the scar is generally not obvious. The removal of breast augmentation surgery with liquid breast augmentation is very serious.

3. Can the prosthetic material be completely removed?

Because it is a liquid implant, it is difficult to completely remove the implant during breast augmentation surgery. For those who have already gathered into a single cavity or double cavity, due to the limitation of the distribution of the prosthesis, the prosthesis can only be completely removed through breast augmentation removal surgery. For those with a wide distribution, especially those in the glandular lobules, it is impossible to completely remove them during one liquid breast implant removal surgery. Because liquid implants often have a tendency to aggregate automatically, breast augmentation surgery can be used to remove the aggregated implants first, and then remove the remaining implants through a second operation after the remaining implants have aggregated.

4. What examinations are required before breast augmentation surgery?

To ensure safety, the following examinations are required before the removal of liquid breast augmentation implants: routine blood tests, coagulation tests, electrocardiograms, and ultrasound examinations around the breasts (to determine the location and range of the implant and estimate the amount of the implant) to avoid failure of the removal of liquid breast augmentation implants.

5. How long does it take to remove breast implants?

The removal of liquid breast implants can be done with local anesthesia, and a skilled person can complete it in 1 hour. It takes a week to recover after the removal of breast implants. Breast implant removal surgery can solve a lot of pain for women, but the operation is relatively more complicated, so breast plastic surgery experts recommend going to a regular plastic surgery hospital for the operation.
