Implant Removal

    A woman's choice to have her implants removed can be a difficult one. Time, personal preferences, and unfavorable results may all contribute to this decision. Optimizing the remaining tissue by internally suspending the breast tissue and performing an external breast lift can help normalize breast form and contour. External breast prosthesis or special bra inserts may also ease the transition to life without implants and support body image.
