Breast implant removal is a procedure in which existing breast implants are taken out, often several years after the initial surgery. Some patients choose to follow this with breast implant replacement, where new implants are inserted. These procedures can be performed together in one operation, but you can also opt to have the implants removed first and decide on replacement at a later date.
Implant removal or replacement is commonly carried out to address complications such as implant rupture or capsular contracture. These procedures may also be paired with other treatments—most frequently a mastopexy (breast lift) to restore breast shape once the implants are removed.In other cases, implants are replaced simply to update the size, shape, or overall look of the breasts as personal preferences evolve over time.

This all-inclusive approach is designed to provide clarity, continuity of care, and peace of mind from your first consultation through to full recovery.
Breast implants can enhance confidence and body image, but they are not designed to last a lifetime. Over time, changes in the body or in personal preferences may lead someone to consider breast implant removal. While removal is sometimes prompted by complications, many individuals choose the procedure for a variety of reasons, including:
As the body naturally changes with age, pregnancy, weight fluctuations, or lifestyle shifts, implants that once felt ideal may no longer suit your proportions or reflect your current goals. In these cases, some patients decide to have their implants removed entirely rather than replaced.
Breast implants can rupture due to ageing, injury, or gradual shell weakening.Common signs of rupture may include:
Implant removal is often recommended to address the issue and prevent further complications.
All implants form a natural scar-tissue capsule around them, but in some cases this capsule becomes tight or inflamed, causing pain or distortion of the breast shape. Removing both the implant and the capsule can relieve these symptoms and restore comfort.
Over time, implants can shift from their original position—whether due to ageing, gravity, changes in tissue, or implant-related factors. If implants sit too high, too low, or too far to one side, removal may be the most appropriate solution.
Breast implant removal can provide both physical relief and a sense of returning to a natural body shape. Many patients find the decision empowering, especially when it aligns more closely with their current lifestyle and preferences.
The price of breast implant removal can differ widely, and this is influenced by several important factors. While cost is a consideration, the quality and safety of your care should always come first. Key elements that affect pricing include:
Because each clinic sets its fees based on its expertise, resources, and level of care, it’s normal to see variation in prices. When comparing options, it’s important to look beyond cost alone and consider the overall quality of the surgical team, the environment, and the support you will receive throughout your treatment and recovery.
