breast implant removal
a compassionate path to renewal and wellness
breast implant removal, also known as explantation, is a surgical procedure designed to take out existing breast implants, with or without replacement of new implants, or with a simultaneous breast lift. for many individuals, this service is a significant step toward addressing medical concerns, achieving a desired aesthetic change, or simply returning to a more natural state. at dose aesthetics in bowling green, ohio, we offer this procedure with a focus on patient safety, well-being, and compassionate care, ensuring a supportive journey toward your renewed sense of self.
how breast implant removal works
Customized
the procedure is highly individualized, depending on the patient’s reasons for removal and the desired outcome.
the journey begins with a detailed consultation at dose aesthetics. our surgeon will thoroughly review your medical history, current implant details (type, age, placement), discuss your motivations for removal (e.g., rupture, capsular contracture, or breast implant illness concerns), and evaluate your breast anatomy to determine the most appropriate surgical plan.
the procedure is typically performed under general anesthesia to ensure your comfort and safety throughout the operation.
the surgeon makes an incision, often utilizing the same location as the original implant surgery (inframammary fold, peri-areolar, or transaxillary), to minimize new scarring.
the existing breast implant is carefully removed.
- total capsulectomy (en bloc): when medically necessary, especially for concerns like capsular contracture or suspected bii, the surgeon may perform an en bloc removal, where the implant and the surrounding scar tissue capsule are removed together as one unit. this is often the preferred technique for patients with bii concerns.
- simple explantation/partial capsulectomy: in other cases, the implant may be removed, and only a portion of the capsule is taken out.
once the implants are removed, the surgeon may perform a mastopexy (breast lift) to remove excess skin, tighten the remaining tissue, and reshape the breast mound, ensuring a more aesthetically pleasing and uplifted contour. fat grafting may also be used to enhance volume or smooth irregularities.
the incisions are closed with sutures, and dressings are applied. drains may be placed temporarily to remove excess fluid accumulation
are breast implant removal procedures right for you?
breast implant removal is an appropriate procedure for individuals who are:
- experiencing complications related to their implants, such as rupture, displacement, chronic pain, or severe capsular contracture.
- concerned about or diagnosed with symptoms related to breast implant illness (bii) and wish to remove their implants as part of their healing journey.
- seeking a more natural breast size or shape, or have undergone a significant change in lifestyle or body size.
- in overall good health, are non-smokers, and have realistic expectations about the surgical outcome.
while generally safe, the procedure may be delayed or reconsidered for individuals who:
- have active, serious, or uncontrolled medical conditions.
- are currently pregnant or breastfeeding.
- are actively smoking (smoking significantly impairs healing and increases complication risk).
- have unrealistic expectations regarding the postoperative appearance of the breast without implants.

treatment experience
the breast implant removal procedure is performed in a certified surgical facility.
- duration: the surgery typically takes between one to three hours, depending on the complexity, whether a capsulectomy is performed, and if a breast lift or fat grafting is included.
- comfort: the patient is under general anesthesia, ensuring they feel no pain during the procedure. post-operative pain is managed with prescribed medication.
setting: this is usually an outpatient procedure, meaning patients return home the same day, though an overnight stay may be recommended in certain cases.
recovery and results
recovery
recovery is a crucial phase guided by personalized post-operative instructions from the team at dose aesthetics.
- initial days: most patients experience soreness, swelling, and bruising. prescribed pain medication helps manage discomfort. drains, if placed, are usually removed within a week.
- downtime: patients typically need to take 1 to 2 weeks off from work and require assistance with daily tasks during the first week.
- restrictions: strenuous activities, heavy lifting, and intense exercise are generally restricted for 4 to 6 weeks to allow for proper internal healing.
- follow-up: regular follow-up appointments at our bowling green clinic are essential to monitor healing progress.
results
the final results of breast implant removal can be transformative, impacting both physical health and emotional well-being.
- aesthetic change: the breasts will immediately appear smaller. if a lift was performed, the breasts will be more shapely and uplifted. it may take several months for the final breast shape to settle as swelling fully resolves.
- health and wellness: many patients who removed their implants due to bii report a significant improvement in their systemic symptoms over the following weeks and months.
- scars: scars are permanent but will fade and soften over time. following proper scar care instructions is essential for the best possible outcome.
breast implant removal at dose aesthetics offers a safe, compassionate, and expert pathway to restore peace of mind and physical comfort.
