Breast implant removal (explant surgery) involves taking out existing breast implants. It may be performed on its own or in combination with a breast lift or fat transfer to achieve a natural contour after implants are removed.

  • Preference to return to a natural breast appearance
  • Concerns about implant complications (rupture, capsular contracture, malposition)
  • Changes in breast tissue or body proportions over time
  • Desire to reduce implant-related maintenance or future surgeries
  • Medical recommendations for implant removal

The approach depends on your anatomy, implant type, and reasons for removal. Options may include:

  • Explant only – implants are removed through the original incision site where possible
  • Explant with capsulectomy – removal of surrounding scar tissue (capsule) if indicated
  • Explant with breast lift (mastopexy) – reshaping and lifting breast tissue to restore contour
  • Explant with fat transfer – using your own fat for subtle enhancement or balance

Surgery is usually performed under general anaesthetic. Implants are carefully removed, and additional steps such as capsule removal, lift, or fat grafting may be performed depending on your plan.

Every implant removal surgery begins with a personalised consultation with Dr Rizk. This includes a full discussion of your goals, implant history, and the most appropriate options to support your long-term health and confidence.

Our clinic offers personalised consultations to discuss suitable non-surgical options for facial rejuvenation. Our qualified practitioners tailor treatments to help address patient concerns in various facial areas, following strict safety and regulatory standards. All procedures are conducted under clinical supervision to maintain the highest standards of patient care.

Recommended Products

Am I a Suitable Candidate?

You may be suitable if you:

  • Have implants that are no longer desired or have complications
  • Are in good general health and at a stable weight
  • Understand that breast appearance may change after implant removal
  • Hold realistic expectations, including possible need for revision or complementary procedures

Recovery and Aftercare

Week 1–2: rest, swelling and bruising are expected; supportive bra as advised

  • Week 3–4: gradual return to light activity; shape and swelling continue to improve
  • Week 6+: resume most exercise and normal activity once cleared by your surgeon

Risks and Considerations

As with any surgery, risks include bleeding, infection, scarring, asymmetry, delayed healing, changes in breast sensation, and the need for further procedures. If a lift or fat transfer is added, additional considerations will be discussed.

Will my breasts look deflated after implant removal?

Some patients may notice changes in volume, contour or skin laxity. A lift or fat transfer can help restore shape.

Do I need to replace my implants?

Not always. Some patients choose permanent removal, while others replace implants with a different size or type.

Is capsulectomy always required?

Not in every case. Dr Rizk will assess whether removal of scar tissue around the implant is necessary.

How long is recovery?

Most patients resume light activity within 1–2 weeks, with full recovery over several weeks.

Is a GP referral required?

Yes, a GP referral is required for initial consultation.
