Is it Possible to Remove Breast Implants with Local Anesthesia Under $1000?

Thank you for the question.

Yes, it is possible to have breast implants removed under local anesthesia  in some cases. If so, the cost of the procedure can be kept  relatively low.

I would suggest in-person consultation with well experienced board-certified plastic surgeons ( avoid “cosmetic surgeons"  who have not been appropriately trained or certified).

Best wishes.

Good day! Breast implant removal average cost starts around $4,500 but the most important part of your surgery is your doctor's experience. The cost varies depending on your area, facility, and years of experience of your surgeon. It is best to have an in-person examination so that costs will be customized according to your needs. Best of luck! #RealSelf100

Thank you for your question! Depending on your and your plastic surgeon's comfort level with surgical procedures via local anesthesia, it certainly is a safe procedure and can be done via local only or a little sedation. It is difficult to answer about the appearance of your breasts without a photo or examination. Removal of your implants alone will create a smaller breast with somewhat similar shape. Discuss your concerns with your plastic surgeon and the possibility for a breast lift, either at the same time or at a later date, if deemed necessary. Many times drains are placed as well as compression garments used postoperatively. Cost varies among surgeons as well as geographic location. Certainly, for simple removal without any capsule work, the procedure can be tolerated with local anesthesia alone.  I typically prefer to remove the capsule.  Best wishes!
