When should I consider Breast Implant Removal?

Today, the main reasons for choosing implant removal are to avoid replacement every 10 years and, in many cases, concerns about ASIA syndrome. This rare inflammatory condition is associated with symptoms such as joint pain, muscle aches, chronic fatigue, and headaches, and has been linked to autoimmune diseases..

Breast implant removal is an excellent option for women seeking a more natural and refined appearance. Other reasons to consider this procedure include:

Medical complications

Medical complications such as recurrent infections or capsular contracture.

Changes in size or shape

Changes in size or shape for aesthetic or comfort reasons.

Signs of implant deterioration

Signs of implant deterioration, including wear, rupture, or deformation.

Pain or discomfort

Recurrent back pain, discomfort, or other symptoms can impact your quality of life.

At AmayaClinic® we offer you a free digital pre-assessment to obtain information and costs for your surgery in a simple and secure way. You will receive a personalized document from Dr. Felipe Amaya just as you would in a face-to-face assessment.

Before & After:
Breast Implant Removal

An informed patient is a confident patient.
Our patients ask: Will I have any scarring?

 It’s important to note that, in most cases, a “reverse T” scar is required, which will become less noticeable over time, especially in patients with fair skin.

Cases with little pre-surgery volume are the most challenging; however, at AmayaClinic®, we have developed a technique that achieves excellent results even in these complex situations.

Frequently Asked Questions about this Surgery

How will my breasts look after the implants are removed?

After breast implant removal, the appearance of the breasts may vary depending on the amount of breast tissue present, and it is common to experience a decrease in volume. Some patients opt for additional procedures, such as a breast lift (mastopexy), to enhance the shape and position of the breasts after the explant.

You can resume your daily activities between 3 and 7 days and return to exercise in about a month.

After breast implant removal, it’s possible that breast sensitivity may be affected. Recovery varies for each individual and can take several months or, in some cases, may not be fully restored. Around 40% of patients may experience a loss of sensitivity.

Autoimmune Syndrome Induced by Adjuvants (ASIA) is a rare condition related to implants in the body that cause an inflammatory reaction and symptoms such as fatigue, muscle and joint pain, and headaches. Although it has been associated with breast implants, its incidence is low, and its diagnosis is questioned due to its nonspecific symptoms.

Yes, we use the BRALAN technique (Bilateral Removal of All Layers of the Augmentation of the Natural breast), which focuses on the complete removal of the implants and, in some cases, the surrounding scar tissue or capsule that may have formed around them.

To learn about the cost of your procedure at AmayaClinic®, you can choose between an in-person consultation with Dr. Felipe Amaya or complete the free 100% virtual digita pre-assessment process.
