Can I get implant removal after 6 months?

Most of the time, I recommend waiting for a year because it takes time for the surgical area to heal completely and the implants to settle fully.

Dear Diligent327739,it is hard to tell for sure, but since your BA surgery was recently, there is high chance that your breast will return to pre-surgery shape and size. If you are considering surgery, I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination, you will get more information and recommendations.

Yes, you can. The sooner the better actually as the capsule that forms around the implant within weeks of augmenting. Also, your results will vary depending on how the original surgeon did your surgery, the length of time you kept them in, as well as the size you placed.

If you're feeling anxious about your breast augmentation, I would recommend reaching out to your board-certified plastic surgeon and letting them know your concerns. If you're not comfortable returning to your plastic surgeon, I would seek a second opinion. Ultimately, you can have your implants removed at anytime. It generally takes a minimum of 3 months for the implants to settle in place and they continue relax and heal over the following months. If they were recently placed, you're chest should look similar to before they were placed.

Dear Diligent327739, I am sorry you were not stisfied with your surgery. Yes, you can definetly discuss implant removal with a doctor after 6 months. Your surgeon will evaluate your individual situation and discuss the potential outcomes of implant removal, including the appearance of your chest afterwards. It's essential to have an open discussion with your surgeon to address your concerns and explore your options.

Your breast implants can be removed at any time. Your appearance should be essentially the same as you were prior to your augmentation. Unless there are some extenuating circumstances, there is no reason to remove the scar capsule that is around your implant. Many removals can be done under local anesthesia only and have a very quick recovery. Speak with your plastic surgeon about this. Best wishes.

Hello @Diligent327739, thank you for your question. Generally, an explant surgery can be done 12 months after the surgery has taken place. I always perform an immediate aesthetic reconstruction using the patient's own tissue using the BRALAN Technique (Breast Reconstruction Anatomical Lift Augmentation). It is important to remove the capsule completely to prevent future inflammatory reactions. The scar depends on the specialist surgical technique I always perform this procedure with an L-shaped incision, which for me is the smallest and most discreet incision possible in a breast explant with breast reconstruction. If you are considering a breast explantation, consultation with a plastic surgeon who is experienced in this procedure is essential to ensure optimal results. I link a video to shed more light. Best wishes!

Implants can be removed at any time. sometimes silicone implants may need excision of some of the capsule to promote healing so there is not a dead space.

Yes, you can get your implants removed at any time. Do remember, you were not happy before surgery and may not be happy once removed. Although you do not have large implants, you do have some stretching of your breast tissue and skin. However, you may still look fairly good. Ask yourself truthfully why did you want implants and why do you want them now removed.
