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.
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.
