Breast Implant Removal Sydney

There are many situations or complications that may require the removal or replacement of implants including:

• Rupture
• Severe capsular contracture (hardening)
• Shifting
• Discomfort due to size
• Lifestyle changes

If you have undergone a breast augmentation or implant reconstruction and are experiencing unwanted complications, you may require a further procedure. If you are encountering asymmetry, pain, or deflation you may need to have an implant removed or replaced.

We also have women who wish to have their implants removed to obtain a more thorough mammogram. Breast screening can sometimes be less effective when implants are present.

If you have had an implant rupture you should contact our team immediately. A calcified silicone leak will require removal of the implants and any calcified lumps of leaked silicone (or silicomas).

In some cases, you may just simply be dissatisfied with the results of a previous procedure and require a revision. Dr. Yunaev will discuss your dissatisfaction with you to understand and re-established a realistic expectation to determine if removal or replacement will bring you the results you desire.

As you have already undergone surgery, the goal of this procedure is long-lasting results that you are happy with to avoid requiring further work on your breasts in the near future.

It is not recommended that you consider a breast revision if:

• You are unable to have anaesthetic
• You have a poor healing ability or are prone to excessive bleeding
• You have a high risk of surgical complications

With all procedures we recommend a good quality diet coupled with regular exercise to ensure that you look and feel your best all the time. The most suitable candidates for surgery are:

• Physically healthy
• At a stable weight
• People with realistic expectations
• Non-smokers
• Unhappy with the results of a past procedure

Dr. Yunaev will discuss a tailored plan with you during your consultation and services the following areas of Sydney:

• Potts Point
• Bella Vista
• Southern Highlands/Bowral
