Your Journey with CosmeSurge

Consultation

During your breast implant removal consultation, be prepared to discuss about your surgical goals, medical conditions, drug allergies, current medications, vitamins, herbal supplements, alcohol, tobacco and drug use and details of previous surgeries.

Your plastic surgeon will evaluate your general health status and any pre-existing health conditions or risk factors. The doctor will examine your breasts and may take photos of your breasts, measure them. You will also discuss the possible outcomes of the removal surgery and what the best treatment options

Surgery

A breast implant removal surgery will depend on many factors such as age, implant condition and your surgeon will then ask you to undergo imaging, such as an ultrasound, mammogram, or MRI, before the procedure.

During the surgery, small incisions are created along the lower folds of the breasts to remove the implants. The surgery is performed in an outpatient basis and you can expect to be discharged the same day. While you can recover at home, you should expect a minimum of one week of downtime. You may also be prescribed special compression garments to speed up the healing process.

After Surgery

After your procedure, you may need to have drains, which are small, thin tubes temporarily placed under the skin within the pocket to drain any excess blood or serous fluid that may collect.

The time required for recovery varies from person to person and depends upon the nature of the technique used. You might experience pain and discomfort around the breasts after the surgery, and to cure this, you will be prescribed some pain killers. Experiencing swelling and bruising is quite normal after the surgery. However, it will settle down after few weeks. You will be able to resume your day-to-day activities after a week.

After Care

In order to have successful long-lasting results it is important to follow the below:

  • You should take the medications prescribed by your surgeon regularly.
  • You will be recommended a surgical bra, which you’ll have to wear for some days.
  • It is also advisable to not to sleep on your stomach.
  • Avoid all the activities which exert pressure on your breasts.
