What Happens During Breast Implant Removal Consultation?

You will meet with Dr. Angelina Postoev to review your medical history, previous breast implants procedures, and factors that may affect your outcomes, such as medical conditions, allergies, alcohol or tobacco use, and current medications or supplements being taken. You can discuss breast implant removal surgery that is right for you and set reasonable goals.

What Are the Benefits of Breast Implant Removal?

Many women every year decide to remove their breast implants due to various reasons. The most common of them include:

• reducing pain in your shoulders, back, and neck;
• eliminating fear of rupture;
• preventing future breast implant replacements.

What Should I Expect from My Breast Implant Removal Treatments?

Breast implant removal surgery will take approximately one to two hours. During this time, Dr. Angelina Postoev will provide pain control and management. Here is the way the procedure will be performed:

1. Local or general anesthesia will be done. Dr. Angelina will recommend which one is best for you.
2. An incision will be made above or below the areola along the lower fold of your breast (the inframammary fold).
3. Breast capsules and implants will be removed using a combination of techniques.
4. Closing of the incisions will be performed.

Implant removal surgery is performed at our surgery center located in Gwinnett county in Loganville, GA, close to Snellville, Grayson, Lawrenceville, Conyers, and surrounding cities in the metro Atlanta area.

What Results Should I Expect?

The result of breast implant removal surgery depends on the quantity and quality of your breast tissue. After surgery, your breast will look deflated. The final result will be visible in two to three weeks. It will stay the same way unless natural aging effects occur.

Implant Removal Recovery

The recovery time is normally short, around two weeks. Following a breast implant removal surgery, gauze dressings or bandages or drains may be needed. To reduce swelling, you can wear a support bra or a surgical garment. Healing will continue gradually for about two weeks with reduction in swelling. However, for optimal results, you should follow all postoperative restrictions and advice, including advice regarding when you can return to work, lift objects heavier than 20 lbs., etc.

Side Effects of Breast Implant Removal

Breast implant removal surgery is a minimal risk procedure. However, the possible risk of breast implant removal might include looseness of skin and possibility of a revision surgery. You can discuss it with Dr. Angelina Postoev and find out how to reduce risks and optimal recovery time.
