Breast Implant Removal and Revision Techniques

There are several strategies available for breast implant removal and revision, depending on the patient’s specific concerns:

Full Implant Removal – For patients who no longer wish to have breast implants, full implant removal is an option. Dr. Awada carefully removes the implants and any surrounding scar tissue (capsulectomy) if necessary. This procedure allows the breasts to return to their natural state while minimizing complications.
Implant Revision – For those who experience implant-related complications or dissatisfaction with a previous procedure, implant revision surgery can correct asymmetry, implant malposition, or aesthetic concerns.
Implant Replacement – Women who wish to update their implants with a different size, shape, or material can opt for implant replacement.

Secondary Procedures

In some cases, additional techniques may be used to enhance the results of implant removal or revision. These options help improve breast shape, support, and volume for a more balanced appearance:

Breast Lift – When implants are removed, some patients may experience sagging due to stretched skin. A breast lift (mastopexy) can be performed at the same time to reshape and elevate the breasts to maintain a youthful and firm appearance.
Fat Grafting – Fat grafting is a natural alternative to improve breast volume and contour after implant removal. It involves harvesting fat from another area of the body, purifying it, and strategically injecting it into the breasts for a subtle, natural increase.
GalaFlex™ Mesh – GalaFlex™ mesh is a supportive scaffold used in breast revision surgery to reinforce weakened tissue. It provides additional structural support, reduces sagging, and enhances the longevity of results, particularly in cases where the skin has lost elasticity.

Good Candidates for Breast Implant Removal & Revision

Ideal patients for these types of breast surgeries are women experiencing complications or dissatisfaction with their implants, or changes in aesthetic preferences. Candidates should be in good overall health and have realistic expectations.

The Procedure

Dr. Awada performs breast implant removal and revision surgeries using general anesthesia for patient comfort. She makes precise incisions, usually along the original surgical scars to minimize visible marks.

Depending on the procedure, she revises, removes, or replaces the implants and may perform additional techniques like a breast lift, fat grafting, or GalaFlex™ mesh insertion. Once the desired adjustments are made, incisions are carefully closed with sutures for optimal healing.
