Understanding Breast Implant Removal at Neaman Plastic Surgery
Choosing to get breast implants was a personal decision that came with its own set of reasons and expectations. Over time, circumstances, feelings, and health can change, leading some to consider breast implant removal. At Neaman Plastic Surgery, we’re here to guide you through understanding the common reasons individuals choose this path:
Implant Rupture
Over time, implants, just like other medical devices, can wear out or be compromised. A rupture refers to a tear or hole in the implant’s outer shell. This can be due to various reasons, such as trauma, aging of the implant, or a defect. If a saline implant ruptures, it typically deflates, causing a noticeable change in breast size. Silicone ruptures can be subtler, sometimes called “silent ruptures,” requiring imaging to detect. Removal ensures any leaked material is addressed and overall breast health is maintained
Personal Preference
Personal feelings and aesthetic preferences evolve over time. Some individuals simply find that they no longer desire the look or feel of breast implants. This decision can be influenced by lifestyle changes, age, or a shift in personal aesthetic preference.
Breast Implant Illness (BII)
Some individuals report a range of symptoms they attribute to their breast implants, often termed Breast Implant Illness. Symptoms can include fatigue, cognitive difficulties, muscle pains, and more. For those who believe their implants might be impacting their health, removal can be a step towards alleviating these symptoms.
Recurrent Capsular Contracture
Capsular contracture refers to the natural scar tissue around a breast implant contracting and hardening. While some degree of this is normal, in certain cases, it can cause pain, distortion, or hardness of the breast. For individuals who have experienced recurrent capsular contracture, removing the implants might be a recommended solution.
Personalized care
At Neaman Plastic Surgery, our brand and tone revolve around personalized care, empathy, and a commitment to helping individuals achieve their unique aesthetic goals. We believe that everyone deserves to feel confident and comfortable in their own skin, and our procedures are designed to do just that—empower individuals to embrace their beauty and feel their best.

FAQ's About Breast Augmentation
Individuals Seeking a Simpler, Quicker Procedure:
This approach is less invasive than some other methods, which can mean a quicker procedure time and recovery.
Patients Without Complicated Implant Issues:
If there are no significant complications, such as severe capsular contracture, implant rupture, or the need for extensive tissue removal, this in-office procedure might be ideal.
Understanding Breast Implant Illness at Neaman Plastic Surgery
Breast Implant Illness (BII) is a term often used to describe a broad range of symptoms that some individuals believe are directly connected to their breast implants. At Neaman Plastic Surgery, we take your concerns seriously and strive to provide informed, compassionate guidance on the matter.
INFRAMAMMARY INCISION (UNDER THE BREAST):
BENEFITS:
This approach is our preferred choice for several reasons. It offers direct access to the breast tissue, providing surgeons precise control over implant placement. The inframammary incision also typically results in less interference with breastfeeding, making it a suitable option for many women.
CONSIDERATIONS:
The scar is located along the inframammary fold, typically concealed by the breast.
PERIAREOLAR INCISION (AROUND THE AREOLA):
BENEFITS:
This incision is made along the edge of the areola, which can help conceal the scar. It allows for excellent control over implant placement and is suitable for silicone and saline implants.
CONSIDERATIONS:
There is a risk of changes in nipple sensitivity, and the scar may be more noticeable if the areola is small. There is also a limit regarding the implant size that can be used.
TRANSAXILLARY INCISION (IN THE ARMPIT):
BENEFITS:
This incision is placed in the armpit, so there are no scars on the breast itself. It can result in less visible scarring.
CONSIDERATIONS:
Access and visibility are limited compared to other incision types. It may not be suitable for all implant types, and revision surgery can be more challenging through this incision.
Why does it occur?
The exact cause of BII and its relation to breast implants remains a topic of ongoing research and debate. Some theories suggest it might be related to an autoimmune response, while others consider the possibility of bacterial contamination or the body’s response to certain materials in the implants.
When to Remove Implants
The Breast Surgery Collaborative Community (BSCC) has issued a statement to clarify when removing breast implants (explant) is necessary for health reasons. They emphasize that an en bloc capsulectomy, a complex and expensive procedure, is only required for patients with suspected or confirmed breast implant-associated cancers after a thorough medical evaluation. Dr. Scot Bradley Glasberg, a BSCC co-founder, stresses that unnecessary procedures should be avoided, and treatment decisions should be based on science and clinical data.
Types of Capsulectomy
The BSCC defines four types of capsulectomy:
Total Intact Capsulectomy
Complete removal of the breast implant capsule as a single unit.
Total Capsulectomy (Total Precise Capsulectomy)
Complete removal of the breast implant capsule, not necessarily done as a single unit or in one piece.
Partial Capsulectomy
Removal of the breast implant capsule where some capsule is left behind.
En Bloc Capsulectomy
Removal of the breast implant capsule with a margin of uninvolved tissue, specifically for treating suspected or confirmed breast implant-associated cancers.
The BSCC highlights the importance of a thorough informed consent process, ensuring patients understand the risks and options. Their goal is to improve breast surgery safety by enhancing communication between patients and surgeons.

Start Your JourneySurgical Options for Treating Breast Implant Illness at Neaman Plastic Surgery
For those who believe they may be experiencing symptoms related to Breast Implant Illness (BII), it’s essential to be informed about the surgical interventions available. At Neaman Plastic Surgery, we provide several surgical options tailored to individual needs, ensuring the utmost care and precision:
Implant Removal:
Description: This procedure focuses solely on removing the breast implants.
Benefits: It offers a relatively straightforward surgical approach for patients who suspect their implants might be contributing to their symptoms and are looking to alleviate potential concerns without further interventions.
Implant Removal with Partial Capsulectomy:
Description: Along with removing the breast implants, this procedure entails removing a portion of the capsule (scar tissue) that forms around the implant. A partial capsulectomy might be suitable for those where the entire capsule doesn't need removal, or there are concerns about preserving breast aesthetics and shape.
Benefits: It offers the combined advantage of removing the implant and potentially problematic portions of the capsule, which might be contributing to symptoms.
En Bloc Capsulectomy:
Description: This advanced surgical technique involves removing the breast implant and the entire surrounding capsule as one single unit without opening the capsule. It's often recommended for patients concerned about potential contamination or leakage from the implant.
Benefits: The procedure ensures that the entire capsule and implant are removed intact, minimizing the risk of any potential contaminants being left behind or entering the body during surgery.

Implant Removal under Local Anesthesia at Neaman Plastic Surgery
At Neaman Plastic Surgery, we understand that each patient’s journey is unique, and we strive to provide the most comfortable and suitable options for your care. One such option is the removal of breast implants in our office setting under local anesthesia.
What Does It Involve?
Performing an implant removal under local anesthesia entails numbing the breast area with a local anesthetic agent, ensuring you remain comfortable and pain-free throughout the procedure. Once adequately numbed, a small incision is made, typically utilizing the same scar from your initial breast augmentation, and the implant is gently removed. This approach offers the benefits of reduced recovery time, minimized surgical interventions, and the comfort of avoiding general anesthesia.
Exceptional outcomes
At Neaman Plastic Surgery, our unwavering commitment to exceptional outcomes and patient-centric care drives us to deliver the highest quality surgical results. We believe in achieving your desired aesthetic goals while maintaining the natural integrity of your appearance. With our expert approach, we help you realize your aesthetic aspirations with confidence and elegance, empowering you to embrace your enhanced beauty.
VIEW OUR GALLERYUnderstanding the Need for a Breast Lift After Implant Removal at Neaman Plastic Surgery
After choosing to have breast implants removed, many patients wonder about the appearance of their breasts post-removal. At Neaman Plastic Surgery, we acknowledge that every individual’s body and desired outcome is unique. Here’s a guide to help you understand if a breast lift might be beneficial following an implant removal:
Breast Sagging:
If after removal, your breasts sag or droop more than you’re comfortable with, a lift can restore a more youthful and elevated position.
Nipple Position:
One of the indications for a breast lift is when the nipple-areola complex points downward or falls below the breast crease. A breast lift can reposition the nipple to a more central or upward-facing direction.
Breast Shape:
Sometimes after implant removal, breasts might lack the fullness or shape they once had. A breast lift can help reshape and redefine the breast contour.
Skin Elasticity:
If your skin has lost elasticity due to age, weight fluctuations, or other factors, it might not revert back tightly around the natural breast tissue after implant removal. A lift can tighten and remove excess skin.
Personal Preference:
Beyond the physical indicators, it’s essential to consider your personal comfort and aesthetic desires. If you’re not content with the appearance of your breasts post-implant removal, a lift might be a suitable choice for achieving your desired look and feel.
