Rising Trends in Breast Implant Removal (Explant) and Replacement

August 23, 2023

Why More Women Are Choosing Breast Implant Removal and Replacement

Dr. John Lee Breast Implant Removal in Oregon

Many women are choosing to have their breast implants removed or replaced for various reasons such as implant rupture, symptoms of breast implant illness, capsular contracture, or simply a change in lifestyle or aesthetic preference. Dr. Lee,with extensive experience in both inserting and removing implants, has observed an increase in breast implant removals over the past five years.

Health and Comfort

Some women experience complications from old implants, such as rupture or capsular contracture, which can lead to discomfort or changes in the breast’s appearance. Additionally, some women report symptoms associated with breast implant illness (BII).

Evolving Aesthetic and Lifestyle Choices

Personal preferences and lifestyles evolve over time. Women may find that their implants no longer match their desired body image or physical activities. A shift towards a more natural look or changes in body proportions due to aging or weight fluctuations can also drive the decision to remove or replace implants.

Patient-Centric Approach

Dr. John Lee emphasizes a patient-centric approach, offering comprehensive consultations to discuss all available options. Whether it’s a straightforward removal, an implant exchange, or a combination with a breast lift, Dr. Lee ensures each procedure is tailored to meet individual needs and achieve the best possible results.

Life-Changing Results

Patient experiences vary widely. For some, implant removal brings relief and satisfaction, especially if they face health concerns. Others might opt for smaller implants that better suit their lifestyle or aesthetic goals. The common thread is a desire for outcomes that align with their current needs and preferences.

The decision to remove or replace breast implants is deeply personal and multifaceted. Dr. Lee’s expertise and dedication to personalized care make him a trusted choice for those exploring these procedures.
