Moving Forward
The decision to undergo breast implant removal can stem from a variety of reasons, such as encapsulation, rupture, or simply a desire to return their breasts to their natural state. If your breast implants are preventing you from living your healthiest, happiest, and most fulfilling life, it may be time to consider breast implant removal or explantation. The experts at Westlake Plastic Surgery specialize in breast procedures in Austin, TX, and offer a broad range of personalized solutions for patients interested in addressing breast concerns related to their appearance and wellness.
Enhance Your Self-Confidence
Implants have become more popular, but they're not suitable for everyone. And women who enjoyed their implants initially may later decide that they are no longer benefiting them due to complications or changes in lifestyle or preferences. However, the decision to remove an implant should only be made after careful consideration. There are several questions that women often ask themselves when considering implant removal:
At our office in Austin, TX, we can help patients restore their natural-looking breasts.
Healthy is Happy
A breast implant removal candidate is a woman with implants that either physically or emotionally bother her. For example, they may have ruptured, leaked, or even shifted positions. It's also possible that your surgeon will tell you it's not safe to keep your implants any longer—this could be because of pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight loss/gain, or aging. In other cases, women may simply decide that they no longer want the added fullness of implants and, instead, feel that their natural breasts are more suitable for their life.
Another concern women might have that can contribute to the decision to remove their breast implants is breast implant illness (or BII). While there is no evidence that breast implants cause illness, some patients choose to remove their implants for peace of mind. During your consultation, we will discuss the nature of your concerns and goals in detail to help you decide if implant removal is the ideal solution for you. Some things that we will consider when determining if breast implant removal is right for you are the condition of your skin, breast tissue, and breast capsule, as well as the position of the muscle on the chest wall.
Comfortable and Confident
The explantation process for saline implants begins by inserting a needle through the nipple area into the capsule around the implant. The needle releases fluid from around the implant as well as air bubbles. A vacuum device is then used to suction out any remaining liquid or air inside the capsule before removing the implant entirely from your body via an incision under your armpit. The process for silicone implant removal is a bit different. If the implant is intact, your surgeon will be able to remove the implant in a straightforward manner. In cases of silicone implant rupture, encapsulation, or other complications, your plastic surgeon will also need to remove damaged tissues or remnants of your implant.
Make A Change
Most Austin breast implant removal patients will take two to three weeks off work while recovering. Patients are encouraged to apply ice packs and use a compression bra during recovery to maintain their shape and prevent scarring. Most patients return to light activity within five-seven days, but it may take up to three months for your breasts to ultimately settle back into place.
Make the Correction
After removal, it may take several months for your breasts and chest wall to recover fully, but they will be able to return to their pre-implanted state. If the patient chooses, they can also opt for permanent reconstruction. All nerves and tissues will remain intact during the explantation procedure, so if you want your breasts back after surgery, a few options are available.

The term breast implant illness has been used to describe a complex cluster of symptoms in breast implant patients. Symptoms can range from pain and rashes to psychosomatic conditions like fibromyalgia. Other consequences include dryness, itching, and cysts. While there is no evidence to support that breast implants cause illness, implant explantation is an excellent option for patients who suspect their implants may be impacting their health.
