Implant removal takes approximately 1-1.5 hours. Capsule status and additional procedures affect the duration. You can be discharged on the same day or the next day.
Some patients may want to have their breast implants removed for reasons such as change in aesthetic preference, capsular contracture, suspicion of implant integrity or systemic disorders. This procedure is called “explantation”.

Who is it suitable for?
It is suitable for people who want a more natural breast form, experience discomfort due to the implant, develop capsule formation or are aesthetically dissatisfied with the prosthesis. It can also be removed if the implant has expired.
Surgical Approach
When the implant is removed, the surrounding capsule tissue is also removed if necessary (capsulectomy). The breast shape is preserved or reorganised. If necessary, it can be combined with a breast lift.
Breast implant removal is performed in line with changes in aesthetic preferences, medical reasons or implant-related complaints. With an approach that respects the natural tissue, the most appropriate result is aimed for the patient’s body structure.
The informed consent form is a legally required document signed by the patient prior to any medical procedure.
Please consult your doctor for detailed information. You will be asked to review the consent form carefully before your surgery.
Operation and Recovery
The operation time is usually 1-1.5 hours. It can be performed under local or general anaesthesia. It can be discharged on the same day. Return to daily life is provided within 4-7 days. Scars are made from the old incision line.
Result and Texture Matching
The volume of breast tissue may decrease after implantation. However, natural contour is provided. Depending on the tissue quality, lifting or support with fat injection can be planned.
