Breast Implant Removal
5.0 /5 (2 Reviews)
The initial insertion of breast implants is a voluntary procedure, but for medical or volunatry reasons, an invidual may opt to have them removed. Most often, breast implant removal may be more of a necessity in situations involving implant rupture or incomplete healing. Or, another implant of choice may be opted for (i.e. silicone to saline or saline to silicone).
Depending on the situation, scar tissue may be removed in addition to the breast implants.
