Is it Possible to Remove Breast Implants with Local Anesthesia Under $1000?
Breast implant removal for $1000 or less using local anesthesia? I have saline implants done under the muscle, put in through the armpit. Have had them in approximately 14 years. I want removal and no replacement. Thanks for any advice.

Breast Implant Removal?
Thank you for the question.
Yes, it is possible to have breast implants removed under local anesthesia in some cases. If so, the cost of the procedure can be kept relatively low.
I would suggest in-person consultation with well experienced board-certified plastic surgeons ( avoid “cosmetic surgeons" who have not been appropriately trained or certified).
Best wishes.

Breast implant removal
Breast implants can easily be removed under local anesthesia, provided it is a simple removal with no other work required, such as a lift or capsule removal. I typically charge about $2500 for the procedure.

Yes, saline implants can be removed with local anesthesia in the office.
$1000 for uncomplicated removal is an average cost.

You will need an incision in the crease or nipple.
I suggest you see three Board Certified Plastic Surgeons in your area, get estimates of their fee and decide based on cost and quality of the surgeon.
Best of luck.

Your situation would require a new inframammary crease incision of 2 cm and would cost somewhat more but still under $1000 for a simple removal. Complicating and more costly situations include silicone gel-filled implants, unknown type or condition implants, shaped/textured surface implants, and any kind of additional...

Implant Removal
It should not be a problem to get your implants out under local anesthesia if there is nothing else necessary to be done. I personally would only do that through an inframammary incision as axillary and periareolar approaches involve considerably more dissection through the tissues.
