What Is Breast Implant Removal?

Breast implant removal, or explant surgery, is a surgery wherein Dr. Farber removes existing implants. If necessary, Dr Farber will also partially or completely remove any scar tissue or capsule that has formed around the implants, also known as a partial or complete capsulectomy. Often, patients may choose to combine breast implant removal with a breast lift to restore the shape of the breast. 

There are many reasons why women may choose to remove their breast implants, such as:
  • A desire to return to a more natural look
  • Evolving aesthetic goals or lifestyle changes
  • Interest in refreshing or refining results from a previous augmentation
  • Proactive care for implant health and overall wellness
  • The natural conclusion of the implant’s lifespan

Preparing for Your Breast Implant Removal Surgery in Atlanta, GA

  • Stay positive and get excited! Loving your results starts before you get to the surgical center. 
  • Make sure you are hydrated by drinking plenty of water the day before your surgery.
  • Fill all of your prescription medications and have them ready for when you get home. 
  • Make sure you have nothing to eat or drink after midnight on the night before your surgery.
  • Shower and wash your body with an antibacterial soap. 
  • Do not wear makeup, lotions, skincare products, or deodorants to your surgery.
  • Come dressed in comfortable, loose-fitting clothing that will be easy to put on after surgery. Do not wear jewelry or contact lenses to your surgery. 
  • Complete necessary medical tests, such as routine bloodwork, mammograms, or appointments with your primary care provider, to ensure you are healthy enough for surgery.
  • Prepare healthy, balanced meals ahead of time to help maintain a well-balanced diet high in protein during your recovery.
  • Arrange for help around the house and with child or pet care if necessary.
  • Avoid taking anti-inflammatory medications like aspirin or herbal supplements that can increase bleeding risk.

Breast Implant Removal Procedure Overview

On the day of your breast implant removal surgery in Milton, GA, you will be escorted to a private room where you will be prepped for surgery. Once you’re ready, Dr. Farber will sit down with you to give you one more opportunity to review your goals and priorities so that you can go into surgery feeling confident that she understands your vision and will execute it perfectly. She will thoughtfully mark your breasts for surgery and confirm every detail with you.

Dr. Farber has been finely tuning her surgical techniques and has the artistic skills and eye for balance that provide beautiful, natural, and predictable results every time. Removing implants and reconstructing the breasts takes complex planning and a careful aesthetic eye. 

After Dr. Farber makes an incision, typically in the inframammary fold, she will remove the implant and, in some cases, the capsule. Once removed, she will restore the breast profile and provide a beautiful result. Patients often choose to combine a breast lift with this operation, which can make the breasts address changes in the skin or breast tissue resulting from the long-term presence of breast implants.

During surgery, Dr. Farber will administer a long-acting numbing agent to make your recovery more comfortable. She will then place a long-lasting surgical dressing designed to decrease skin tension, reducing the amount of visible scarring. Before you are discharged, Dr. Farber will fit you with a surgical bra to protect and support your breasts and ease pressure on your incisions.

As soon as your breast implant removal surgery is completed, you will be taken to a private recovery room where you will wake up to friendly faces cheering you on as you get your first glimpse at your results before you go home feeling excited and supported.

What to Expect from Your Breast Lift with Augmentation Recovery

Dr. Farber uses a rapid recovery protocol that helps patients recover quickly while minimizing the need for narcotic pain medications. She hopes that you will enjoy a manageable amount of pain while reducing narcotic side effects. Most people start feeling like themselves again after one week and are back to their normal routines and activities after about a month.

Tips for a Smooth Breast Implant Removal Recovery
  • Enjoy the immediacy of your results!
  • Your surgical dressing will stay in place for 2 to 3 weeks, and you will be able to shower shortly after surgery. Less maintenance at home means you have more time to focus on rest, relaxation, and self-care.
  • You should wear your compression garments at all times to provide support to your breasts as they heal.
  • Prioritize a balanced, nutritious diet to make sure your body has everything it needs to heal.
  • As soon as you can, take light, gentle walks to improve blood flow.
  • Arrange for help around the house and with any pet or childcare while you recover.
