Breast Implant Removal in San Antonio, Texas (TX)

Breast implants may need to be removed for a variety of reasons, including an implant rupture, capsular contracture, capsular calcifications, etc. Upon removal, the breasts may droop and lack volume. You then have the option to use fat from your own body to create more natural-looking and feeling breasts, or a new implant can be inserted and fat can be added, should you desire, to enhance the appearance and create fullness.

But regarding breast implant removal due to implant rupture, capsular contracture and capsular calcifications, the implant capsule may need to be removed as well, and this is referred to as a capsulotomy. Whether the capsule is removed or not, however, is determined by your board-certified plastic surgeon who will perform a physical exam, radiological studies, or both. Internal breast work may also be needed. This requires situating breast tissue where it belongs: central to the breast. By doing this, the surgeon gives you a full and taut breast. Another procedure that may be performed in addition to breast implant removal and/or replacement is a mastopexy, or breast lift, to tighten loose skin.
