Implant Removal Procedure

According to the American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery:
235,000 women had breast augmentation surgery in 2003;
More than 40,000 (1 every 6) had breast implant removal surgeries.

This procedure, known as explantation, can be done to decrease the size or to make room for new implants.


Reasons for Breast Implant Removal
The three most common reasons for breast implant removal are:
• Change of size and shape;
• Implant leakage or rupture; and
• Capsular contracture.

Sometimes, breast implant removal is necessary to treat problems that occur with the implants.

Possible problems with implants
• Deflation or rupture
• Shifting
• Wrinkling
• Sagging
• Asymmetry

Problems due to the body's reaction to the implants
• Bleeding
• Infection
• Diagnosis of breast cancer
• Formation of scar tissue that tightens around the implant (capsular contracture)
• Necrosis, or the formation of dead tissue around the implant, which may prevent wound healing
• Calcium deposits


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.

Average costs
Breast implant removal usually costs between $1,000 and $4,000.

Recovery
Initial recovery from breast implant removal surgery is usually quick, with many patients returning to everyday activity within a few days, and full activity within two to three weeks.
Full recovery often takes a few months. For the first few days after breast implant removal, there may be mild discomfort, swelling and bruising.

Complications
Some uncommon (though possible) complications include:
• Loss of nipple sensation;
• Scarring;
• Bleeding; and
• Loose skin.

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.

  • Greece Dark Age

    Greek-speaking Indo-European peoples arrived in the country from somewhere to the north, around 1700 BC, and slowly invaded the entire country from the north all the way to Crete, as well as the west coast of Asia Minor (now Turkey), absorbing the native peoples. These invaders all spoke various early dialects of Greek and were divided into a number of tribes (the Achaeans, Ionians, Dorians, and others), each which arrived in the country at different time intervals. Their arrival may have been responsible for ending the Cycladic and Minoan civilizations and brought the country into what is now referred to as the Dark Age of ancient Greece; although it is now understood among historians that civilization in Greece remained sophisticated and advanced during this time. The first Greek-speaking civilization, the Mycenean Civilization, centered in the Peloponnese region, was prominent during this time period.

Plastic Surgery News...

  • Dutch researchers have examined the discontinuation rate of maintenance antidepressants (AD) in recurrently depressed patients in daily clinical practice and the associated risk of recurrence. They used data on 172 patients with recurrent depression from the DELTA study, who were in remission on various types of treatment. Use of AD before recurrence (non-users, intermittent users, continuous users) was examined and related to recurrence over a 2-year follow-up period. The researchers found that: • 42% of the patients used AD continuously. • Based on minimal effective dosage (20 mg or > fluoxetine equivalent), only 26% of patients used AD as recommended by international guidelines. • Despite continuous use of AD, 60.4% relapsed in 2 years; this was comparable to the rate of the intermittent users (63.6%). • In patients who stopped taking AD after remission and who received additional preventive cognitive therapy, the recurrence rates were lower than in non-AD-using patients treated with usual care (8 vs. 46%). The researchers conclude from these findings “the majority of recurrently depressed patients treated with AD discontinue maintenance AD therapy in daily primary and secondary clinical practice. AD seems to offer poor protection against relapse in this patient group.” They recommend that alternative maintenance treatments should be evaluated.
  • DePuy Spine, Inc. announced that its core portfolio, which includes fixation and fusion systems EXPEDIUM? and MOUNTAINEER?, continues to show solid gains while minimally invasive surgery and the aging spine are proving to be high growth areas for the company as more surgeons adopt minimally invasive techniques and the population ages.
