Breast Implant Removal & Revision
A tailored solution for women who want to remove, replace, or improve their implants.
When your implants no longer reflect your goals
Breast implants are long lasting, but there are many reasons a woman may choose to remove or revise them. Some simply prefer a smaller or more natural look than they did years ago. Others experience implant rupture, capsular contracture, asymmetry, rippling, or changes in the breast that occur naturally with time, pregnancy, weight changes, or aging.
Breast implant revision is not one operation but many different solutions. Dr. Husain’s role is to understand what concerns you, examine what is happening anatomically, and recommend the approach that best achieves your goals.
Breast implant revision is tailored entirely to the reason for surgery. For some women, this means removing the implants and returning to a natural breast. For others, it means replacing older implants, correcting asymmetry, addressing capsular contracture, improving implant position, or changing size and shape.
When implants are removed, Dr. Husain often combines the procedure with a breast lift, fat transfer, or both, to restore shape and maintain a natural contour. The goal is not simply to remove an implant, but to create a breast that looks balanced and suits your wishes.
A personalised approach to removing, replacing, or improving implants
Is breast implant removal or revision right for you?
This procedure may be right for you if:
• You would like to remove your implants permanently
• You would like smaller or larger implants
• You have implant rupture
• You have capsular contracture
• You have implant rippling, asymmetry, or displacement
• Your breasts have changed after pregnancy, weight changes, or aging
• You are in good general health
The right solution depends entirely on your goals and your anatomy. Dr. Husain will explain the available options and help you choose the approach that best suits you.
Every revision begins with understanding the problem
Revision surgery requires a different mindset from primary breast surgery. The first step is understanding exactly what has changed and what outcome you would like to achieve.
Dr. Husain carefully evaluates the implants, the surrounding tissue, the skin, and the overall breast shape before recommending a solution. Depending on your needs, this may involve implant removal, implant replacement, correction of capsular contracture, fat grafting, a breast lift, or a combination of procedures.
His goal is always to create a breast that feels natural, balanced, and appropriate for your body, regardless of whether implants remain part of the result.
Every procedure is performed in its entirety by Dr. Husain, in a fully accredited operating room with a board-certified anaesthesiologist.
Recovery tailored to your procedure
Recovery depends on the type of revision performed. Simple implant exchange or removal may involve a shorter recovery, while procedures combined with a breast lift or fat transfer may require additional healing time.
Most patients return to desk work within one to two weeks and gradually resume normal activity over the following weeks. A supportive surgical bra is worn during the early healing period.
You will be seen by Dr. Husain throughout your recovery and at every follow up appointment, with detailed guidance provided in person.
A result that reflects where you are now
The goal of implant removal and revision is not simply to change an implant, but to create a breast that feels balanced, natural, and aligned with your current preferences and lifestyle.
For some women, this means a natural breast without implants. For others, it means a more refined implant result, improved symmetry, correction of complications, or a shape that better suits their body today.
Results are long lasting. Maintaining a stable weight and following your recovery guidance helps preserve the outcome over time.
-
There are many reasons. Some women simply prefer a smaller or more natural look than they did when their implants were first placed. Others develop implant rupture, capsular contracture, rippling, asymmetry, or changes related to aging, pregnancy, or weight fluctuations.
-
Yes. Some women choose implant removal alone, while others combine removal with a breast lift, fat transfer, or both, to restore shape and maintain volume. The best approach depends on your goals and your anatomy.
-
Capsular contracture occurs when the scar tissue that naturally forms around an implant becomes unusually firm or tight. This can affect the shape, feel, and comfort of the breast. Revision surgery can correct this problem.
