Breast explant procedures are often performed to update implant materials.
Regardless of your aesthetic goals, Dr. Hamwi listens to understand your needs and recommends only the procedures and techniques to help you achieve your desired results. While removing or exchanging the current breast implant, breast implant removal may also include:
- A Breast lift or breast reduction
- Repositioning the implant

What Can I Expect Before & After Breast Implant Removal?
Dr. Hamwi will customize your breast implant removal surgery to address your distinct needs. While each breast revision in Sarasota will have unique details, here are some general steps you can expect during the procedure.
After you’ve been greeted by our team and checked in, Dr. Hamwi will evaluate you, perform surgical markings, and ensure you are comfortable before entering the operating room. Then, you will be safely sedated.
During your breast implant removal, Dr. Hamwi will create incisions in well-concealed locations along the lower fold of your breast or near the areola. At this time, Dr. Hamwi will use the appropriate technique to remove your implants and the breast capsule, or scar tissue.
If you are having your breast implants replaced, Dr. Hamwi will insert the new implants with a sterile, no-touch technique.
After your breast implant removal procedure, you will be fitted with a compression garment or surgical or sports bra that should be worn for approximately 3-4 weeks to minimize swelling and help your body adjust to its new contours. You may require regular follow-up appointments with Dr. Hamwi.
How Soon Will I See My Sarasota Breast Implant Removal Results?
You will experience swelling and bruising following your breast implant removal. It may take several weeks to months for the swelling to resolve, scarring to lessen, and sensation to return. However, the true results will appear in 6-12 months, and most patients report that their breasts after implant removal will begin to feel “normal” around this time.
Your individual results of breast implant removal will vary based on:
- Implant size
- Scar tissue quantity
