Breast implants and their safety have been in the news recently. We understand that you may have questions or concerns regarding the implants that you have - or maybe you're considering breast augmentation surgery. We invite you to watch the videos, where Dr. Shah discusses implants, BII (breast implants illness) and the recent recall involving Allergan brand textured implants and its link to BIA-ALCL (breast implant-associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma).
At Beautologie, we rarely used a textured implant, and haven't used any in recent years. If you have any concerns about your implants or wish to discuss removal, please give us a call, we are here to help!

FAQ
There are several reasons why a person may want to have their breast implants removed, including complications such as implant rupture or leakage, capsular contracture, dissatisfaction with the results, changes in personal preference, and concerns about long-term health risks.
Breast implant removal is typically performed under general anesthesia, and the surgeon will make an incision in the same location as the original breast augmentation incision. The implant is removed, and any scar tissue around the implant (capsule) may also be removed. The incision is then closed with sutures.
Scarring is a common side effect of any surgical procedure, including breast implant removal. However, the amount of scarring can vary depending on the individual and the surgical technique used. Your surgeon can provide you with information on what to expect in terms of scarring.
The amount of breast size increase can vary depending on the individual and the amount of fat available for transfer. On average, patients can expect an increase of one to two cup sizes.
Depending on the size of the implants and the length of time they were in place, breast tissue may be stretched or compressed. After implant removal, it may take some time for the breast tissue to readjust and return to its natural shape.
Yes, it is possible to have new breast implants inserted after implant removal. This can be done during the same surgical procedure or at a later time.
The recovery process can vary depending on the individual and the surgical technique used. However, most people can expect some discomfort, swelling, and bruising in the days following surgery. It is important to follow your surgeon's post-operative instructions to ensure a smooth recovery.
