While breast augmentation remains one of the most common cosmetic procedures each year, there are many reasons why women choose to have their breast implants removed over time. Whether health concerns have arisen or your personal preferences have simply changed, breast implant removal can be a suitable option to meet your changing needs.
Here are just a few of the most common reasons women choose to remove breast implants.
1. You Have Complications with Existing Implants
In some cases, complications with existing implants may warrant breast implant removal. Capsular contracture, for example, occurs when the scar tissue that naturally forms around breast implants hardens and thickens, putting pressure on the implants. In some cases, breast implant removal and replacement is the best solution.
2. Your Personal Preferences Have Changed
You might find that over time, your personal preferences regarding your breast implants have changed. Some women may prefer to get a different type or size of implants, while others may opt for breast implant removal altogether.
3. Your Medical Status Has Changed
If you have developed a new medical condition such as breast cancer or breast implant illness (BII) since you’ve had breast augmentation, your doctor may recommend removing your breast implants.
4. You’ve Had a Major Life Event
Big changes in life, such as getting married, having a baby or achieving a major weight loss goal, might make your existing breast implants feel incompatible with your new lifestyle.
