FAQs

How much does breast implant revision or removal cost?
Breast implant removal starts at $9,800, while exchanging for new premium silicone implants starts at $12,500. Fees include your board-certified surgeon, anesthesia, soft surgical bra, and 12-month doctor-guided follow-up. With approved credit, payments can be as low as $275–$425 per month after a typical deposit. Exact quote after exam; individual needs vary.
Can I go home the same day?
Yes. Revision surgery is outpatient—you’ll recover for about an hour, then a responsible adult can drive you home and stay with you the first night.
Will I need drains or special after-care?
Most revisions are drain-free. You’ll wear a soft support bra for three weeks, keep incisions dry for 48 hours, and avoid lifting more than 10 lbs for two weeks—no recovery houses or lymphatic massages needed.
Are there alternative procedures or complementary add-ons?
Options include implant removal with a simultaneous breast lift, replacing implants with fat transfer for subtle volume, or adding internal-bra mesh to reinforce support.
How painful is recovery?
Discomfort is typically milder than your first augmentation—most patients rate pain 3–4/10 for the first 48 hours, controlled with prescription medication, then switch to acetaminophen by day three.
Will I have new scars?
Whenever possible, your surgeon reuses the existing inframammary or periareolar incision, so no new visible scars are created.
How long do results last?
Modern implants last 10–20 years on average; fat-grafting results are considered permanent. Regular breast exams and imaging help monitor implant integrity over time.
What’s the most common reason for revision?

Capsular contracture remains #1, followed by implant rupture and size change requests—issues that affect roughly 20 % of patients within the first decade.
