Implant removal versus exchange

Yes you can definitely get the implants removed and the capsules treated without having new implants placed.

The skin envelope will shrink to some degree, but whether or not you need a lift will depend on how you look now and how much is expected to change after implant removal (hard to say without an exam).

Removing breast implants without replacing them

Yes, you can have your breast imlants removed completely without having any other implants re-inserted.  If you were a C cup before surgery, you should have enough tissue such that you could avoid needing to do a breast lift surgery at a later date.  The approach would be to remove the implants, then wait about 6 months to allow the skin to shrink and contract. Then, if needed, you could have some of the excess skin addressed with a breast lift. Best wishes, Dr.Bruno more

Removal of large implants

It is relatively easy to remove implants or change them for smaller implants. If you go for much smaller implants or no implants at all, the breasts may droop afterwards. If you would like further input, photographs and further details e.g. implant size etc. will be helpful.

Breast implant removal

It is straightforward to remove the implants and it is your choice what to do then.  You can go with no implants or replace them with smaller ones.  You can also have a lift if you need one regardless of whether you replace the implants or not.

Implant removal

YOu certainly may have the implants removed, but you may not like the final shapel. Without an exam it is very difficult to say what could be done for you.
