    What Is Breast Implant Removal?

    Breast implant removal, also known as breast explant surgery, is a procedure designed to safely remove breast implants from a previous breast augmentation. Many women choose this procedure to:

    • Address changes in aesthetic preference
    • Replace or upgrade older implants
    • Resolve implant complications such as rupture, capsular contracture, or discomfort
    • Restore a more natural breast contour

    Depending on your anatomy and goals, Dr. Polavarapu may recommend implant removal with a breast lift to restore shape and firmness after explantation.

    Some patients want to remove saline implants or silicone implants and avoid further augmentation. Others want explant surgery as part of a broader plan that may include implant exchange or breast revision to improve comfort, symmetry, or shape.

    I highly recommend Dr. Poloavarupa! She is very patient focused and is focused on ensuring her patients get the right treatment to address their needs even when that is not surgery in her office. She takes the time needed with each patient, and made me feel cared for through a challenging medical situation.

    She did not perform my initial surgery and I came to her office to request she remove my implants. She was very thorough in evaluating my previous medical records to ensure she had the right information to make a good decision on the treatment plan.

    After determining that surgery may worsen my pain, she referred me to a physical therapist and later a pain doctor. She was highly invested in making sure I got the treatment I need, and followed up with the pain doctor as well as me to make sure I was getting better. She has not performed any surgery on me, as it is not appropriate for my situation.

    I am very pleased with Dr Poloavarupa’s care and attention as well as her staff. I highly recommend consulting her for any plastic surgery considerations!

    Breast Implant Removal Techniques

    Dr. Polavarapu selects the most appropriate technique based on your implant type, tissue condition, and medical history. Whether you are removing saline or silicone implants, each approach is designed to minimize disruption and support natural healing.

    En Bloc Capsulectomy

    This technique removes the implant and surrounding capsule in one piece, ideal for cases involving rupture, leakage, or hardened scar tissue.

    When this approach is appropriate, it may help simplify removal planning in cases where the capsule itself is a meaningful part of the concern.

    Total or Partial Capsulectomy

    If full capsule removal is not necessary, Dr. Polavarapu can perform a partial capsulectomy to ensure a more conservative yet effective treatment.

    The right choice depends on the condition of the capsule, your symptoms, imaging results, and operative findings during the breast implant removal surgery.

    Implant Replacement or Breast Lift

    Patients may opt to replace implants or combine removal with a breast lift procedure for enhanced contour and rejuvenation.

    For some women, replacing implants is the best path. For others, pairing explant surgery with a breast lift or planning a staged breast revision restores shape more effectively than removal alone.

    Recovery and Results

    Following breast implant removal, most patients experience minimal downtime. Swelling and tenderness typically subside within a few weeks. Full results are visible as your tissue adjusts naturally to the new contour.

    Most patients are able to return to light daily activities within one to two weeks, with more strenuous exercise typically resumed after four to six weeks based on Dr. Polavarapu's guidance. You will receive detailed post-operative instructions during your consultation, and our team is available throughout your recovery to answer any questions.

    Dr. Polavarapu’s emphasis on precision and gentle technique promotes smooth healing and beautifully balanced results.

    Who Is a Good Candidate for Breast Implant Removal?

    Ideal candidates include women who:

    • No longer desire implants and wish to return to a more natural breast size.
    • Are experiencing complications such as capsular contracture, implant rupture, or chronic discomfort.
    • Have saline or silicone implants that are aging or due for evaluation.
    • Are in good overall health and have realistic expectations about post-surgery results.

    During your consultation, Dr. Polavarapu will guide you through your options to achieve your desired outcome safely.
