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.
Answer: Cost of Breast Implant Removal The cost of breast implant removal will depend upon the type of procedure used. If you have a relatively new implant (less than 5 years), have no contracture, no rupture, deflation, calcification,or breast pain, you can just have the implants removed without removing the capsules. You will need a breast ultrasound or breast MRI to determine the integrity of these implants before deciding on what procedure is best for you. Implant removal without removal of the capsules costs about $1500 for the professional fee plus facility fee. If you need the capsules removed in addition to the implants, it will cost more, about three to four thousand, for the professional fee plus facility and anesthesia fees. These fees, of course, will depend upon the geographical area. I hope this is helpful.

Answer: Cost of implant removal The cost to have the implants removed will depend upon several factors. If the capsules need to be removed as well or if you have a ruptured silicone implant, it will add to the expense. In addition, if you need a breast lift, it will of course add to the cost. However, if you have relatively new, intact implants and the capsules are not going to be removed, then you may be able to have the implants removed under local anesthesia. This typically costs about $1500 plus a facility fee. In my operating room in Dallas the facility fee is about $800. If you are having general anesthesia and additional procedures are involved such as removal of the capsules, that will add to the expense.

Answer: Implant Removal This is a very common issue that arises years after implant placement. Cost vary depending on region and experience. The surgery itself can vary greatly depending on your needs. If it's a simple implant removal the cost can be around $4500, (that includes anesthesia and facility fees). If there are issues with your capsules, they should be removed as well. That's more involved and would cost around $7500. If you need a lift at the same time the cost would be around $10,000. If you have saline implants it can beneficial to deflate them before the procedure. This can sometime prevent the need for a lift as the tissue contracts without the weight of the implant on it. See a board certified plastic surgeon to get more information.

Answer: Breast explantation cost This is a very good question! The cost for implant removal is most commonly determined by what needs to be done to breast tissue after implant has been taken out. Rather than simply considering the implant that must be removed, consideration also needs to be given to the capsule around the implant, the remaining breast tissue, and the loose skin that remains. When patients come for breast implant removal, very often undergo a combination of the following procedures (again, based on the implant, capsule, breast tissue and skin):Implant removal only Breast lift (around the areola scar, lollipop scar, or anchor scar) Auto augmentation (using the patient's own breast tissue to help augment the breast and give the appearance of an implant) Fat transfer to the breast Again, The cost of whatever procedure needs to be done will have to do more with which of the above procedures are also performed. Factors that play into the decision to remove a breast implant include recurrent capsular contracture, pain, the simple decision that the patient no longer wants the implant, etc.An important point about implant explantation is that while it sounds like a simple operation, it often requires quite a bit of skill and finesse to keep an attractive shape to the breast after the implant has been removed. I recommend that you seek the advice of a surgeon who has significant experience with breast implant removal and is certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery.I wish you the best,Dr. Gabbay
