Breast implant removal is a simple procedure that can potentially be performed under deep sedation instead of general anaesthesia.

The level of complexity depends on if it is a case of symptomatic (leak, capsular contracture etc) removal or asymptomatic (“I just want the implants out”) removal.

Another consideration is if you would want fat grafting, breast lifting or even new implants at the same surgical setting.

Thank you and best regards,
