What is Breast Implant Revision & Implant Removal?
Breast Implant revision and Breast implant removal are procedures performed to remove, replace, or adjust existing breast implants. These surgeries address issues such as:
- Implant rupture or leakage (saline or silicone)
- Capsular contracture (hardened scar tissue around the implant)
- Changes in breast shape or sagging over time
- Desire for a more natural look or implant-free lifestyle
- Medical concerns related to implants, such as breast implant illness (BII)
Breast Implant Revision vs. Implant Removal: Key Differences
- Breast Implant Revision: Typically involves replacing implants with new ones, adjusting placement, or correcting complications from previous surgery.
- Implant Removal (Explant Surgery): Completely removes implants, with or without a breast lift to restore natural contours.
Who is a Candidate for Breast Implant Revision or Implant Removal?
Ideal candidates for breast revision or implant removal in Newport Beach, Costa Mesa, and surrounding areas include individuals who:

- Surrounding scar tissue may be excised if necessary.
2. En Bloc Capsulectomy (Total Capsulectomy)
- The implant and surrounding scar tissue (capsule) are removed together.
- Often recommended for patients with capsular contracture or BII symptoms.
3. Implant Removal with Breast Lift

- Helps prevent sagging and maintain a youthful contour.
4. Implant Exchange (Revision Surgery)
- Old implants are removed and replaced with new ones.
- Ideal for patients looking for a size change, improved symmetry, or modern implant technology.

Recovery Timeline:
- First Week: Swelling, mild discomfort, and restricted upper body movement.
- 2-4 Weeks: Return to work and light activities.
