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:
- Unhappiness with breast implants
- Breast implant rupture
- Breast implant rippling
- Incorrect breast implant size
- Switch from saline to silicone breast implants
- Capsular contracture
- Poor implant position
- Implant deflation
- Asymmetry of breast implants
- Old breast implants
- PIP breast implants
- Breast pain (Mastodynia)
