If you’re experiencing complications or discomfort from breast implants, implant removal can provide relief and restore your natural contours. This procedure is designed to address issues like implant illness or rupture, helping to ease symptoms and promote overall well-being.
When you underwent your breast augmentation procedure, you may never have given thought to the possibility of needing to remove your implants down the road. However, due to a few different conditions and problems, some women do make the decision to remove their breast implants. This procedure is often called an explant. Some follow up removal with a new augmentation, while others maintain their natural breasts. The choice is your personal decision, and Dr. Marc Polecritti at The Julian Institute of Plastic Surgery is here to help you make a fully informed decision and provide expert breast implant removal services.
Every year, about 40,000 women make the decision to undergo breast implant removal surgery, and you may be contemplating adding your name to that list. There are many different factors that might lead you to consider breast implant removal. Perhaps you received your implants from a different plastic surgeon and you are unhappy with the quality of your results. It’s also possible that you have changed your priorities and now wish to have bigger or smaller implants than you originally received. Life changes, which is why implants sometimes need to change, too!
In some cases, women experience health complications that can lead to the need for implant removal. Capsular contracture, for example, develops when internal scar tissue forms a tight capsule around the breast implant and contracts, forcing the breast to feel painful and stiff. This is not a common problem, as it affects only five percent of women with implants, but it’s important to recognize the symptoms nonetheless. Other potential implant issues include shifting, wrinkling, and rupturing. There are some women who are medically required to remove their implants in order to receive treatment for breast cancer.
Dr. Polecritti is proud to be double board certified with extensive training and experience regarding breast implants and explants. You can trust that your breast implant removal procedure with Dr. Polecritti will be a smooth, safe, and successful process. You’ll receive anesthesia so that Dr. Polecritti can remove the scar tissue and your implants through the same incision used during augmentation surgery. He utilizes the En Bloc procedure that prevents any contamination of the capsule contents within the body.

Explant surgery is the procedure to remove saline or silicone breast implants. This is typically performed with a complete capsulectomy “en bloc” with the implant, as well.
There are a few different reasons to have explant surgery. One of the most common reasons is dissatisfaction with the implant’s shape, size, or quality. Some patients choose explant surgery due to Breast Implant Illness or BII. In a small percentage of women, capsular contracture can occur, causing breast pain and stiffness.
In the Tampa area, breast implant removal costs between $5,000 to $10,000.
If the implants were placed due to breast reconstruction after mastectomy for cancer, insurance policies typically will cover removal. Please verify your insurance policy coverage prior to planning a surgery.
It is possible that you will need a breast lift after your implants are removed. This typically depends on the size of the implants and how long you have had them. With smaller implants, it is not always necessary to have a breast lift. Depending on your goals, a breast lift may be needed after large implants are removed due to the skin not being able to retract.
The recovery time varies per patient, but in general recovery time is between 4 to 6 weeks. It is important to follow the aftercare guidelines for best results.
