Considering Breast Implant Revision or Removal? Here’s What You Need to Know | Ask Dr. Pane
Many women who undergo breast augmentation eventually face the decision of whether to revise or remove their breast implants. In our latest episode of Ask Dr. Pane, renowned plastic surgeon Dr. Thomas Pane shares insightful guidance on this important topic.
When Should You Consider a Breast Implant Revision?
Dr. Pane explains that breast implants aren’t lifetime devices, but there’s no fixed schedule for replacement. Revisions typically occur when:
- Implants are too large or too small.
- The original procedure lacked proper planning.
- Normal body changes cause the implants to no longer align aesthetically.
- Implants have been in place for many years (often more than a decade).
Common Issues Addressed by Breast Implant Revision
- Drooping or Sagging: This can result from overly large implants or when a necessary breast lift was skipped initially.
- Bottoming Out: Implants positioned incorrectly can lead to aesthetic dissatisfaction and discomfort.
Dr. Pane emphasizes that each patient requires a personalized approach, carefully reviewing their unique anatomy and goals to achieve optimal outcomes.
Considering Breast Implant Removal?
Reasons for removal often include:
- Personal preference or lifestyle changes.
- Discomfort due to heavy or oversized implants.
- Health concerns potentially related to the implants.
Removal procedures may involve:
- Simple implant removal without additional procedures.
- Implant removal combined with a breast lift.
- Fat transfer techniques for natural enhancement post-removal.
