Explantation is easy to do

Richard P. Rand, MD answers: How much does breast explantation cost?

I am now 63 and am beginning to realize that no other woman my age has such full and perky breasts as I do. I am beginning to feel self-conscious and expect that as I grow older, this will become more of a problem for me. I want to know if breast explantation is an option, what could be done to ensure my breasts would become much smaller and how much this would cost.

Removal of breast implants is an easy procedure to perform and from which to recover. Your breasts will certainly get smaller, depending on what size implants you have. The more your current size is from the implants, the smaller you will look when they are out.

The other issue to consider before proceeding is that almost certainly, most or all of your upper pole fullness will be lost and your tissues may look lax and loose without the implants underneath.

Prices are relative low for implant removal but depend on who is performing it. If your implants were gel and if they are ruptured, the cost would be higher because it takes longer to perform the procedure.
