Breast Implant Removal can be performed if there is a suspected rupture of a silicone or saline breast implant.  Often, the diagnosis of a ruptured breast implant is not as obvious as one may think.  Silent ruptures of a silicone breast implant can manifest over time, slowly changing the shape and contour of the breast, without any identifiable changes in breast volume. 

The following is a list of reasons to undergo breast implant removal: 

1. Unhappiness with breast implants
2. Breast implant rupture
3. Breast implant rippling
4. Incorrect breast implant size
5. Switch from saline to silicone breast implants
6. Capsular contracture
7. Poor implant position
8. Implant deflation
9. Asymmetry of breast implants
10. Old breast implants
11. PIP breast implants
12. Breast pain (Mastodynia)
