Breast Implant Removal

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

Kingston United Kingdom implant removal - Tip of the day:
You`ll be able to return to your daily activities within a few days, although you should restrain from strenuous activities for about a month. It is recommended that you do not smoke, which interferes the healing processes. Also avoid sexual activities for 1-2 weeks. The scars and bruises usually disappear after a few weeks and the final results can be seen 6 months after the surgery.

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.

Kingston United Kingdom implant removal - News update:
Though statins, ACE inhibitors, and beta blockers improve survival in patients with heart failure (HF) and low ejection fraction, no large study has investigated these agents in patients with HF and preserved left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). Therefore researchers evaluated a sample of 13,533 Medicare beneficiaries aged >/= 65 years, hospitalised with a primary discharge diagnosis of HF and chart documentation of preserved LVEF between April 1998 and March 1999 or between July 2000 and June 2001. The following findings were reported, based on a Cox proportional hazard model, accounting for demographic profile, clinical characteristics, treatments, physician specialty, and hospital characteristics, and discharge: • Statin therapy was associated with improvements in 1- and 3-year mortality (RR 0.69, 95% CI, 0.61 to 0.78 and 0.73, 0.68 to 0.79, respectively). • ACE inhibitors were associated with better survival at 1 year (0.88, 0.82 to 0.95) and 3 years (0.93, 0.89 to 0.98). • Beta-blocker therapy was associated with a non-significant trend at 1 year (0.93, 0.87 to 1.10) and statistically significant survival benefits at 3 years (0.92%, 0.87 to 0.97). The researchers conclude “statins, ACE inhibitors, and beta-blockers are associated with better short- and long-term survival in patients aged >/= 65 years with HF and preserved LVEF." More...

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.
