The procedure
Breast implant removal is done under either general anesthesia or local anesthesia combined with sedation.
The procedure usually takes 30 minutes to an hour and takes place in an outpatient surgical center.
The surgeon removes the implant by either:
• Operating through an incision under the breast; or
• Incision through the nipple.
If the implant is made of saline, doctors may choose to deflate it first to facilitate removal.

Dominican Republic implant removal - News update:
BioSpace has reported briefly on Phase III data for retigabine, a first-in-class neuronal potassium channel opener which is in development as an adjunct in the treatment of adult epilepsy patients with refractory partial-onset seizures. The double-blind trial – RESTORE 1 (Retigabine Efficacy and Safety Trials for Partial Onset Epilepsy) – randomised 306 adults who were experiencing refractory partial-onset seizures despite receiving stable doses of up to three anti-epileptics to additional treatment with retigabine (400mg TDS; n=151) or placebo (n=150). Study duration was 32 weeks including 8 weeks baseline phase, 6 weeks titration phase, 12 weeks maintenance phase and 6 weeks transition phase. Only brief details of the study are included in the BioSpace abstract which prevents a full evaluation of the findings; however the following results were reported: • The median reduction in 28-day total partial seizure frequency was 44.3% in the retigabine group and 17.5% in the placebo group (p<0.0001) • The median reduction in 28-day total partial seizure frequency during the maintenance phase was 54.5% versus 18.9%, respectively (p<0.0001) • The responder rate (at least a 50% reduction in 28-day total partial seizure frequency) was 45.0% versus 18.0%, respectively (p<0.0001) • The responder rate during the maintenance phase was 55.5% versus 22.6%, respectively (p<0.0001) Results from RESTORE 2, the second pivotal Phase III clinical trial studying lower doses of retigabine, are expected during the second quarter of 2008. The company anticipate filing a Marketing Authorization Application (MAA) to the EMEA before the end of the year. More...

Removal of Large Breast Implants
Occasionally, women who opt for removal of large breast implants, especially those that are inserted on top of the muscle and under the breast glands, are left with major cosmetic deformity in their breasts if they opt to not replace the breast implants or have further cosmetic surgery.

Tissue atrophy and chest wall deformity often result from breast implant removal. Breasts may also be smaller than they were before the implants because of hormone changes or weight loss. Sagging may also become more apparent after breast implant removal.

Emotional Effects
Some women suffer from psychological distress after breast implant removal.
It is normal to feel some sadness.

If psychological symptoms last a reasonable amount of time after breast implant removal, the patient should seek professional help.
