Do surgeons cut through veins?

Yes, almost always. But not any major veins, only small ones. Rest assured that a board certified plastic surgeon has the experience to successfully remove your implants with the least damage to the surrounding breast tissues.

Thanks for your question.  Yes, surgeons will cut through some blood vessels during a surgery.  The bleeding is stopped usually by either tying off the blood vessels or coagulating them with cautery.  For vascular and microvascular surgeries, different blood vessels are actually intentionally cut and then reattached or sutured to other blood vessels.  Hope this helps…best of luck!

Yes, blood vessels will be transected during any type of surgery. Best wishes for an outcome that you will be pleased with.
