Hello! I am thinking about having my breast implants removed and not getting new ones. I would do this under local in the office leaving capsules in. The original implants were smooth saline placed under the muscle. Would they come out the same way and if so , does it damage my muscle ? Does the muscle have to get repaired? Thanks in advance!

Answer: Does the muscle have to be repaired after breast implant removal? Thank you for sharing your question. In general most patients with thin capsules can have their implants removed through their previous incision and not require any muscle work. A compression garment should be worn to help minimize the risk of fluid collection while your tissues heal, however. Hope this helps.

Answer: Does the muscle have to be repaired after breast implant removal? No, in most cases "muscle repair" is not necessary, with breast implant removal surgery. There are however exceptions; there are cases where additional "internal work" helps achieve a better aesthetic outcome. Best to communicate concerns/questions directly with your plastic surgeon. Best wishes.
