Can I have emergency breast implants removed?

Question

Camille Cash, MD · Answer

Your question is a bit unclear.  Breast implant removal is an option for every patient.  You do not need a medical emergency in order to have them removed.  Simply speak with your surgeon or another board certified plastic surgeon about your interest in removal and you can set a surgical time that is convenient for you.

More information will be necessary to give you meaningful advice.  There are very few cases where emergency breast implant removal is indicated.   Best wishes.

Stuart A. Linder, MD, FACS · Answer

Implants can be removed for variety of reasons. A true emergency includes hematoma, hemorrhage, infections, severe scar tissue leading to exposure or skin necrosis. Seek local plastic surgeon to determine your situation

Michael R. Lee, MD, FACS · Answer

Situations already mentioned would be reasons to remove them emergently. Removal of breast implants is a fairly short procedure.  If you simply want them taken out quickly for personal reasons, you should be able to find a plastic surgeon that can help remove them soon.

John Squires, MD (retired) · Answer

Yes you can. There are several different reasons for implant removal. Most people are quite happy with their decision. Seek a board certified plastic surgeon and call the office.
