Maybe your implants are older, have shifted or hardened, or simply don't fit your body or your life anymore. Whatever the reason, you don't need to explain it. You deserve a surgeon who listens and a plan built around what you want next. And we're here to support you every step of the way.
Implant removal takes out your breast implants and, when needed, the surrounding scar tissue (capsule). Implant exchange replaces them with a new size, shape, or type. Either can be combined with a lift to restore shape.
Removal alone: For women ready to go implant-free who have enough natural tissue and skin elasticity to maintain a pleasing shape.
Removal with lift: For women whose skin has stretched over time. A lift removes excess skin and repositions the breast for a natural, youthful contour without implants.
Implant exchange: For women who want to keep implants but update them, whether that's going smaller or larger, switching implant type, or replacing older devices.
Capsule removal: If scar tissue has hardened or tightened around the implant (capsular contracture), your surgeon may remove part or all of the capsule along with the implant.
Your surgeon evaluates your implants, tissue, skin quality, and goals to recommend the approach that will give you the most balanced, natural result.

How long is recovery?
It depends on your implant size, your natural tissue, and your skin elasticity. Many women are happy with removal alone, while others choose a lift to restore shape. Your surgeon will show you what to expect at your consultation.
Pricing depends on your surgical plan, including whether capsule removal or a lift is involved. You'll get a clear, all-in quote at your consultation, and flexible monthly financing is available.
Not always. It depends on the condition of the scar tissue and the reason for removal. Your surgeon will explain whether partial or complete capsule removal makes sense for you.
Yes. At your consultation, your surgeon will walk you through results from patients with a similar starting point and goals.
Most patients take 1–2 weeks off work. Recovery may be a bit longer if a lift or capsule removal is included. Full exercise typically resumes at around 4–6 weeks.
