Why Consider Breast Implant Removal?

If you have undergone a breast augmentation procedure, there are a number of reasons you may be considering breast implant removal surgery. First and foremost, even the most expensive implants placed by an expert plastic surgeon do not last a lifetime. If it has been over ten years since your breast augmentation, and you are happy with your breast implants, it may be time to consider an implant exchange to avoid future complications. 

For some patients, their priorities may have changed since their initial breast augmentation. Others may have never been satisfied with the cosmetic results of their initial breast augmentation. Regardless if you have had a change of heart towards your implants, or you are due for an implant exchange, Dr. Yee can meet your needs at her Little Rock office.

Breast Implant Removal Can Have a Positive Impact

Pain Relief

The scar tissue that forms after breast implant surgery may harden, causing pain and discomfort. During breast implant removal surgery, the hardened tissue can be removed along with the implant, relieving discomfort and pain.

Leaking Implant

Sometimes, the outside shell of a breast implant can break down, causing silicone or saline to leak. This can cause a distorted appearance and other symptoms. It is important to remove a leaking or ruptured implant for your general health and well-being.

Expired Implants

Breast implants have a lifespan of approximately 10 to 15 years. Depending on your personal needs, you may choose to have your implants removed or exchanged for new implants.
