Breast Implant Removal or Replacement

With Breast Enlargement (Augmentation) being the most popular cosmetic procedure and thousands of woman undergoing the surgery every year, there are a number of reasons why women may choose to have their implants changed or removed.

Women may find that their breasts look different following weight changes, pregnancy or breastfeeding. Other women may no longer be happy with the size they originally chose, the age of their implants or had PIP implants which they would like replaced.

Our skilled surgeon’s perform hundreds of procedures each year and are dedicated to giving our patients the results they are looking for. Take advantage of a free consultation to find out more.

What our patients say:

I was looking for an established hospital provider offering me reassurance and care, I’ve found one! I’m pleased to have chosen The Weymouth Street Hospital.

The procedure for changing or removing your breast implants

During your consultation with your surgeon you will have the opportunity to spend as long as you like discussing the changes that you would like to achieve. This will give you the best possible idea of how you can expect your breasts to look after their replacement or removal of your implants.

Our surgeon’s believe that spending this time with their patients is important and explains why so many patients recommend the Weymouth Street Hospital.

If you having your implants replaced your surgeon will discuss the alternatives available. We only use the highest quality range of Silicone implants which have been used all over the world for more than 30 years. They have reliable long-term safety data and come with a lifetime guarantee. We have never used PIP implants.

The procedure itself is done under general anaesthetic, whilst you are asleep, and takes about 60-90 minutes.

Your surgeon will make a discreet incision usually using your old scar. There are a number of different techniques which your surgeon will discuss with you at your consultation and decide which is best for you. Depending on how much your breasts have changed, your surgeon may recommend combining the procedure with a breast-uplift, also known as a Mastopexy.

The type of result you can expect and any risks will be discussed with you by your dedicated surgeon.

Recovery from the procedure

Many patients will recover very quickly and go home on the same day. Should you wish to stay overnight this can be arranged and in some cases your surgeon may recommend this for you.

Recovery is relatively quick and usually much faster in comparison to when you had your original breast implant procedure. Most patients return to work after one week and are fully recovered in 4 to 6 weeks.

All your aftercare is fully inclusive and follow up appointments will be made to suit you.
