The Breast Implant Removal Procedure
Breast implant removal surgery is typically performed under general anesthesia to ensure your comfort throughout the procedure. Dr. Maffi removes the implants and, if necessary, the surrounding scar tissue to restore your natural breasts. In some cases, a breast lift may be recommended to reshape and support the breast after implant removal. Dr. Maffi focuses on achieving the most aesthetically pleasing and natural-looking result possible. The length of the surgery depends on whether additional procedures are performed and generally lasts a few hours. Patients are monitored after surgery and released to a caregiver the same day.
Recovery & Results for Breast Implant Removal
Recovery
After breast implant removal surgery, it is common to experience swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort, which can be managed with prescribed medication. Most patients can resume light activities within a few days and typically return to work in one to two weeks. Dr. Maffi and his team will provide comprehensive aftercare instructions and schedule follow-up appointments to monitor your healing and results.
Results
Breast implant removal can help restore a more natural breast contour and alleviate any concerns related to your implants. Many patients experience improved comfort and satisfaction with their breasts. Results are long-lasting, although aging and weight changes can affect the breasts over time.
