Breast implant removal or explantation is a cosmetic surgery procedure designed to extract the silicone or saline implants from your breast pocket to reverse the effects of breast augmentation. Breast implant removal can be a rather simple surgery in many cases, where your surgeon will place new incisions in the original scar lines in order to avoid any additional scarring. However, implant you have suffered an implant rupture or capsular contracture, your breast implant removal surgery could be more complex. Board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Matthias Solomon provides safe and proven cosmetic and reconstructive procedures to patients in Dallas, Frisco, Sherman, Texas, and surrounding communities. Surgical Planning for Implant Removal The surgeon will evaluate your condition of implants and determine the cause of complication (rupture, capsular contracture or infection). Depending on the loss of skin elasticity in your breast tissue, your surgeon may recommend an additional breast lift plastic surgery along with implant removal to ensure that you have a firmer and youthful breast shape following the removal of implants. In a few cases, fat transfer may be used to add natural looking fullness to your breasts following the implant removal. These additional procedures can usually be avoided if you choose breast implant replacement surgery. In this case, your surgeon will help you choose new implants of the most appropriate quality, size, shape and texture. Surgical Procedure for Breast Implant Removal Your surgeon may recommend the use of general anesthesia for your breast implant removal surgery. Following anesthesia, they will place incisions in the same location as your primary augmentation incisions to minimize scarring. If you have chosen different sized implants for replacement, or the old incisions cannot be used for another reason, your surgeon will still place the new incisions in a discreet location. This could be beneath your breast fold or around the borders of the areola. In case the old implants have ruptured or developed capsular contracture, your surgeon might decide to perform a total capsulectomy or a partial capsulectomy. These techniques involve the full or partial removal of the scar tissue (breast capsule) along with the implant. However, both the capsular tissue and the implant are removed individually through these techniques. En Bloc Technique If your breast capsule tissue is very thin or attached closely to the chest wall muscles, it may not be possible to perform an en bloc capsulectomy. But if this is not the case, your surgeon may decide to remove the implant and the breast capsule together as one unit. In en bloc capsulectomy, your surgeon will leave the implant intact inside the breast capsule, and remove the entire capsule. The ideal behind this surgical technique is that the ruptured or damaged silicone implant can be removed without allowing the silicone gel to leak out. Therefore, this technique is often applied only where silicone implants are involved. In any case, you should let your surgeon make the best medical decision about which technique is most appropriate for your implant removal or replacement.

Women seeking breast augmentation cosmetic surgery are often confused about how long their breast implants may last. With conflicting information available from different sources, it can get difficult to make the right decision about your surgery. A dedicated breast surgeon will address this question during your initial consultation to help you make a well-informed choice. Board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Matthias Solomon provides safe and proven cosmetic and reconstructive procedures to patients in Dallas, Frisco, Sherman, Texas, and surrounding locations. Breast Implants have No Fixed "Shelf Life" At first, you should understand that breast implants do not come with an expiry date and there is no certain "shelf life" for these devices. However, implant manufacturers now mostly offer a lifetime warranty on breast implants because they are confident of the quality they are producing, and data shows a very high success rate of implants. In a research report published in 2011, the FDA said that about 20 percent of breast augmentation patients will require breast implant removal or revision plastic surgery within their first 10 years of the procedure. You may draw some reassurance from this report that at least eight out of 10 women will not require a breast revision surgery for at least 10 years or more. Expected Longevity of Implants In general, you can expect your breast implants to last for anywhere from 10 to 20 years, or sometimes even more. Surgical techniques and implant qualities have also dramatically improved over the last decade, and chances are that longevity and success rate of implants as of today could be significantly better than even what the 2011 FDA report reflected. However, as a conservative estimate, you should go ahead with your primary breast augmentation with the assumption that you might require breast implant removal or replacement surgery at least once in your lifetime. A committed surgeon will give you the right recommendations during your pre-operative consultation. How Often do You Need Implant Reviews? If you have chosen silicone implants, the FDA recommends that you should get an MRI test done after the first two years, and thereafter every three years. This is essential because in the rare event of a silicone implant rupture, you may not even notice the damage from outside because the thick silicone gel could remain intact inside the implant shell. In case of saline implants, such periodic testing is not necessary because if a saline implant ruptures, the implant will quickly deflate and you will come to know about it from the visible change in breast shape. Apart from these periodic exams for silicone implants, you do not need any special testing, maintenance or reviews for your breast implants as long as you have no complications. You may want to remove or replace your implants out of personal aesthetic choice, but clinically you have no such requirement unless there is a medical complication.

En bloc Capsulectomy Nearly all breast implants used in the United States are sold with a 10-year warranty. While some breast implants can last for decades, some others may need to be replaced in a much shorter period of time. In any case, breast implants will usually not last forever. According to figures collected by the manufacturers of implants, nearly half of breast implants will need to be changed within a period of seven years. Some of the common reasons for breast implant problems are rupture, capsular contracture, and infection. Board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Matthias Solomon provides breast implant removal to patients in Dallas, Frisco, Sherman, Texas, and surrounding communities. Capsular Contracture Capsular contracture refers to the scar tissue development that occurs around the breast implant. All implants – textured, round shaped, smooth, above or below muscle, will form a capsule. As breast implants are a foreign entity, the human body tries to create a barrier around the implant by developing a capsule around it that acts as a protection. The capsule can sometimes be flimsy and soft, like an unnoticeable film. But sometimes it can become painful and firm – like a hard shell that feels as if it will contract and shrink over time. When an implant develops a painful, hard capsular contracture, it poses no risk to the patient's health by itself. The discomfort, however, may cause the patient to seek its total removal along with the capsule. En Bloc Capsulectomy An en bloc capsulectomy can be undertaken to take out the breast implant and the capsule as a single piece. A complete en bloc capsulectomy is a meticulous surgery that takes out every fragment of the capsule, including the unit that may be very close to the wall of the chest and the ribs. A partial capsulectomy, on the other hand, leaves parts of the capsule in the breast pocket. The surgical dissection from an en bloc capsulectomy can create irritation in the leftover breast tissue, which will lead to the production of fluid from the body. Therefore, after an en bloc capsulectomy, it is essential to place drains to provide the fluid from the breast pocket a passage to get released from the body. In case a new implant is being positioned, it will usually be placed in a new space when en bloc capsulectomy is used. If the earlier implant was positioned below the pectoral muscle, the new implant will be placed above it. On the other hand, if the original implant was positioned pre-pectorally, the new implant will be placed sub-pectorally. In exceptional situations, the surgeon may find that the pectoralis muscle has been damaged or divided. In these conditions, it is essential to repair the muscle before the new implant can be placed. Capsulectomy without Implant Replacement For patients who choose explant surgery and en bloc capsulectomy procedure, but do not want a replacement with a new implant, the surgeon may leave the drains for removal of fluid for a relatively longer period of time. If the patient has excess breast tissue causing the deflation of breasts, she may require a breast lift or mastopexy to tighten the loose breast tissue and construct a more youthful breast mound. How Should the Patient Prepare for Surgery? The patient should stop smoking cigarettes or drinking alcohol at least a few days prior to her en bloc procedure. These substances increase the chances of swelling and bruising post-surgery. All herbal supplements and blood thinner medications should also be stopped two weeks prior to the surgery. On the day of your surgical procedure, you should have someone who can safely drive you back home after the surgery.

Breast implant exchange or removal cosmetic surgery provides a breast re-contouring option if your existing implants have either got damaged or become hard or thick. However, many women also choose this procedure when their aesthetic preferences change and they may want to replace the type, size, or shape of their implants. Board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Matthias Solomon provides breast implant exchange and removal to patients in Dallas, Frisco, Sherman, Texas, and surrounding locations. Surgical Plan During the initial consultation, your breast surgeon will evaluate the following aspects to determine whether breast implant exchange or breast implant removal may be more appropriate for you: Skin elasticity and tone in the breasts Status of the natural breast tissue Condition and placement of your existing implants Position of the nipples Discomfort or breast implant illness Leakage of silicone implant Your personal cosmetic needs and goals Your surgery will be planned after a detailed consultation. If your implants were originally placed behind the muscle or under the breast tissue, the surgeon may remove these using incisions below the breast crease or around the areolas. If you are a candidate for breast implant removal, the surgeon may have to perform an additional procedure called breast lift to tighten the breast tissue and uplift the areolas and nipples. Procedure If you suffer from capsular contracture, the surgeon may decide to remove the full capsule using en bloc capsulectomy or traditional capsulectomy technique. But if you are seeking breast implant exchange with a different size of implants, even the healthy capsule may have to be removed to ensure that the new implants stay in position. Breast implant exchange or removal plastic surgery is usually performed using general anesthesia. Following anesthesia, your surgeon will take out your old implant, typically through your existing incision that was placed at the time of breast augmentation. They will check the implant for any rupture or tear, and then clean out the breast capsule. If the new implant is of a different size, the old capsule will also be removed. If your breast tissue has stretched significantly, the surgeon will also perform breast lift surgery at the same time of exchange or removal. Once the surgery is completed, the incisions will be closed with sutures and your breasts will be wrapped in bandages. The entire procedure may be completed in about one to two hours, depending on the surgical technique used and whether breast lift is a part of the procedure. Recovery Recovery process will vary from one patient to another depending on which type of breast implant exchange or removal was performed and the individual healing ability of the patient. In general, you can expect to return to your normal routine or go back to work in about 10 to 14 days after your surgery. Vigorous exercises and lifting of heavy weights should be avoided for at least four weeks.

Breast augmentation cosmetic surgery has become relatively less invasive over the past few years due to advancements in surgical techniques as well as the availability of superior implant types. During the pre-operative consultation, the surgeon will explain the risks associated with breast enhancement surgery to the patient. The main concern of a committed surgeon will be to enable the patient to make an enlightened decision. Board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Matthias Solomon provides breast implant surgery to patients in Dallas, Frisco, Sherman, Texas, and surrounding communities. Risks Associated with Implants There are certain risks associated with breast augmentation cosmetic, including the following: Capsular Contracture Once the implants are inserted into the breast tissue, the body will start the process of healing. This will lead to the development of scar tissue around the breast implants. But at times, the scar tissue may constrict and tighten, exerting excessive strain on the breast implants. As the scar tissue constricts, the pressure may cause the implants to get squeezed. The implants may lose their shape, shift from their position, or sustain damage due to this pressure. Some patients may also experience pain as the breast capsule becomes hardened. The patient may require surgery to address this condition. Implant Rippling The breast implant size may sometimes be too substantial in comparison to the breast skin available to cover the implant. This can lead to folds or wrinkles in the implant, causing a rippling effect on the skin's surface. This effect may distort the natural appearance of the breast. An experienced and skilled cosmetic surgeon will recommend a suitable implant shape and size to minimize this risk. Implant Shifting or Rupture In exceptional cases, the implant may shift from its original position shortly following the cosmetic surgery. Larger implants pose a higher risk of displacement. The risk of implant rupture is associated with all implant types. In the case of saline implant ruptures, it will instantly deflate, and the patient will notice it. However, ruptures in silicone implants can only be detected with a breast MRI. The patient will need implant removal or replacement to address these issues. Surgery-related Risks Infection The risk of infection development is greater during and right after breast enhancement surgery. The surgical facility should maintain stringent hygiene standards, and the patient should ensure that the incision sites are clean and dry to minimize this risk. Seroma and Hematoma The accumulation of fluid beneath the skin after breast augmentation surgery can cause swelling of the tissue. Hematoma and seroma risks can be reduced by the placement of temporary drain tubes in the incision sites. Numbness in Nipples The patient may experience a change in sensation and sensitivity or numbness in the nipple region after breast augmentation surgery. In general, this condition resolves on its own but may become permanent in exceptional cases. Unwanted Scarring Some amount of scarring is expected in breast augmentation surgery. However, a skilled surgeon will place incisions in inconspicuous areas to ensure that the scarring remains discreet.

Breast augmentation plastic surgery is a highly customizable procedure. It can be performed using various surgical techniques for implant type and size, incision placement, and implant positioning. In this procedure, the choice of an appropriate breast implant type is a vital decision, and one that will affect the final outcomes of the procedure. During the initial consultation process, the surgeon will discuss the various available implant choices with the patient to enable them to make a suitable decision. When choosing breast implants, the patient should consider her desired breast appearance as well as comfort level. In addition, the patient should assess the advantages and limitations of various implant types, their estimated sustainability, the risks involved, and how appropriate they are to her unique breast anatomy and specific aesthetic goals. Board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Matthias Solomon provides breast implant surgery to patients in Dallas, Frisco, Sherman, Texas, and surrounding locations. Breast Implant Categories Breast implants can mainly be categorized into two types, i.e., saline implants and silicone gel implants. Both of these types of implants consist of an outer shell that is made with robust silicone material. However, the inner core differs in both implant types. Saline Breast Implants The FDA has approved saline implants for women above the age of 18 years. These implants have been popular in the past and were the only implants to have received the FDA's approval initially. Saline implants comprise an inner core containing sterile saline fluid. They are meant to provide the patient with better shape and tautness to the breasts. The benefit of saline implants is that they can be placed surgically while they are deflated. After this, the saline solution can be filled in as necessary. A smaller incision is involved in this procedure. As the saline solution is natural, it does not lead to any complications if the implant ruptures or tears after the surgical procedure. Silicone Breast Implants After exhaustive evaluation for several years, the FDA approved silicone breast implants. These implants are now the most sought-after implant type for breast enhancement cosmetic surgery. Silicone implants offer women a natural touch and feel in addition to superior aesthetic appeal due to the presence of the soft core gel. Women over the age of 21 years can receive this implant type. The silicone gel core is very similar in effect to the natural tissue of the breast. This is the main reason for the soaring popularity of breast enlargement cosmetic surgery using silicone implants. Gummy Bear Implants Gummy bear implants are form stable ultra cohesive silicone gel implants and are the latest implant type to receive FDA-approval. The silicone gel core is very viscous in these implants, enabling them to stay in shape and retain form even when under pressure. In the case of implant damage, the thick silicone gel prevents leakage into other body areas. This enables these form-stable implants to be safer and cosmetically superior. Saline and silicone implants are available in a variety of sizes, ranging from 120 cc to 960 cc. They are also come in round and anatomical shapes.

Breast enhancement can create a strong positive effect on the personality and self-confidence of a woman. However, the key to an effective breast augmentation plastic surgery procedure is choosing an appropriate cosmetic surgeon and determining the right breast implant type and surgical plan to suit the patient's specific requirements. At the time of the initial consultation, the patient should freely ask questions and clarify all her doubts and concerns. Board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Matthias Solomon provides breast implant surgery to patients in Dallas, Frisco, Sherman, Texas, and surrounding communities. Questions About the Surgeon's Professional Background Do you have board certification in plastic surgery? When a patient chooses a board-certified plastic surgeon for her breast augmentation procedure, she is guaranteed that the surgeon has extensive experience and proven specialization in the field. A surgeon needs to clear a highly stringent set of criteria to achieve this certification. How many years of training and experience do you have in the area of plastics surgery? The plastic surgeon should possess appropriate training and experience in performing various cosmetic surgeries, including breast-related procedures, such as breast augmentation with implants. Do you have staff privileges at a local hospital or surgery center? Staff privileges or operating privileges at a hospital or surgery center means that the surgeon has permission to use those facilities to undertake surgical procedures. These privileges render the procedure safer for the patient. What is your success rate in breast enhancement surgery? Breast augmentation is a relatively low-risk cosmetic surgery, but there may still be occasional complications. The surgeon should be able to provide the patient with a clear picture of the possible risks and complications to allow her to make a well-considered decision. What are the approximate costs of breast enhancement surgery? Breast augmentation is typically performed as an elective procedure, which means that the patient will have to bear the costs of the procedure by themselves. This makes it essential for her to be clear on all expenses pertaining to the surgery. Questions About the Surgical Procedure Should I choose silicone or saline breast implants? Choosing an appropriate implant type is a vital decision. The patient will definitely have an input in this decision, but she should judiciously evaluate the recommendations of the surgeon and the reasons behind it. What size and shape of breast implants would be appropriate for me? The size, shape, and texture of the breast implant should be individualized for each patient. The cosmetics surgeon will assess the patient's natural breast size, personal aesthetic goals, and the thickness of the breast skin before making a recommendation on this aspect. Which surgical technique would be suitable for my procedure? In order to perform breast enlargement surgery, the surgeon can place incisions underneath the breast crease, around the areolas, and in the underarm area. The placement of implants can also be done underneath or above the pectoral muscle. The surgeon will make these decisions in close discussion with the patient. What is the recovery period after breast enhancement surgery? The recovery phase is an important element of a significant surgical procedure, such as breast enhancement. The patient should be clear on how much downtime the procedure involves, as well as what precautions she will need to take to heal effectively from the surgery.

Many women seek breast augmentation cosmetic surgery nowadays to improve their breast appearance. This surgery enables the development of more sensuous, voluptuous breasts by increasing the size of naturally small breasts, creating more symmetrical breasts, or making the breasts appear larger. Sometimes women seek breast enhancement following a mastectomy to restore the appearance of their breasts along with their self-confidence. A skilled breast surgeon will carefully evaluate a woman as a candidate for breast enlargement surgery and provide her with in-depth information allowing her to make a judicious decision. Board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Matthias Solomon provides breast implant surgery to patients in Dallas, Frisco, Sherman, Texas, and surrounding locations. Reasons for Considering Breast Enhancement During the pre-operative consultation, the surgeon will try to understand the woman's reasons for seeking breast enhancement surgery. The candidate is the best person to truly know her reasons for seeking this procedure as well as identify the aspects of her breast appearance that she finds unattractive. Women usually undergo breast augmentation surgery for one or more of the following reasons: Achieving a more voluptuous and attractive figure Restoring fullness in the breasts following weight loss or pregnancy Developing a more symmetrical breast appearance Increasing the breast size in proportion to the rest of the body Addressing birth defects in one or both breasts Treating micromastia by enhancing the breast size Reconstructing one or both breasts following a mastectomy Ideal candidates for breast augmentation have reasonable expectations, a positive frame of mind, and clear cosmetic goals. Medical Requirements Breast augmentation is an invasive procedure, and the patient should be in good overall health for this surgery. The surgeon will assess the patient's medical records in detail as well as understand her breast anatomy and skin elasticity in the breast region. Stemming from this, they may order specialized mammograms if necessary. The patient should disclose all pertinent information about her present health condition to the surgeon to ensure her own safety. This will allow the surgeon to make the required changes to the breast enlargement surgical plan. The patient should have stable and moderate body weight. They should also not suffer from any infections, cancerous, or pre-cancerous tissues in the breast region. She should also not be pregnant or breastfeeding. Lifestyle Requirements In case the patient is a smoker, the surgeon will require her to discontinue smoking entirely for a specified period before and after breast enhancement surgery. The surgeon may also alter her schedule of prescription and non-prescription drugs in consultation with the prescribing doctor. The patient should stay adequately hydrated before breast augmentation surgery. In order to expedite the healing process, she should consume a balanced diet that is rich in lean proteins. The patient may consult a nutritionist for the best guidance on their diet. Age Requirements The FDA stipulates that a candidate should be above the age of 21 years to be able to receive silicone breast implants. In the case of saline implants, the minimum age requirement is reduced to 18 years.
