Answer: Saline breast implant removal The saline in the implants could be removed under local, however it's safer to have the shell removed entirely. This can be done under general or local. Pricing depends on the surgeon.

Answer: Awake in the office or in the operating room Saline breast implants can be removed either awake in the office or in the operating room. Procedures in the operating room can either be completed with sedation or under general anesthesia. Any method is considered safe and generally patients can choose which method they prefer based on their comfort level. If patients choose to have removal of implants awake in the office, I generally recommend patients take a pre-operative pain and anxiety medication prior to the procedure. A typical fee for removal of breast implants in the office ranges between $2500-$3000.

Answer: Implant removal Breast implants can be removed under local with sedation. However the capsule need to be removed and that is the complex part of the surgery. If the capsule is not removed fluid can accumulate in the capsule. I've seen this happen, or the capsule scored or cauterized to allow it to stick together.

Answer: Removing breast implants Breast implants can be removed under sedation. I prefer to remove them thought the same incision that was used to place them under most circumstances. I will have to say that if there is a problem like a hematoma or capsule going through a transaxillary approach is probably not acceptable.
