Breast Implant Removal in North Brunswick, NJ

At Partridge Plastic Surgery, we provide ongoing support and guidance to help you make informed decisions about your implants as your needs change. Breast implant removal may be needed for various reasons, many of which are positive and health-focused. Some individuals may decide to remove their implants if they feel that their body has changed over time or if they no longer align with their aesthetic goals. This decision can be a part of embracing a natural look, seeking a change in size, or achieving a more comfortable fit as their lifestyle or preferences evolve.

Additionally, some may experience complications or discomfort from their implants, such as capsular contracture or changes in breast shape. Removing the implants can alleviate these issues and help restore the natural feel and appearance of the breasts. It can also be a rejuvenating step for those looking to enhance their self-esteem and feel more confident in their body.

Our board-certified, Dr. Joanna Partridge, MD understands that deciding to remove breast implants is a highly personal choice. Our team is dedicated to guiding you through every step of your breast implant removal journey, ensuring your comfort and safety throughout the process.

Breast implant removal surgery typically begins with a consultation to discuss your goals, the type of implants you currently have, and any desired changes. The procedure itself is performed under general anesthesia, ensuring you are comfortable throughout. During surgery, the surgeon will make an incision around the breast, typically at the same location as the original implant incision, to minimize scarring. The implants will be carefully removed, and if necessary, excess tissue or skin will be addressed to achieve a natural contour.

After the implants are removed, recovery time varies from person to person but generally involves a few days of rest followed by a few weeks of limited activity. You may experience swelling, bruising, and some discomfort during this time, but these symptoms gradually subside. It’s essential to follow your surgeon’s post-operative instructions, including wearing a supportive garment and attending follow-up appointments. This ensures optimal healing and results, allowing you to return to daily activities as you feel more comfortable.

At Partridge Plastic Surgery, we are committed to providing compassionate, expert care from your first consultation through your final follow-up. We are here to help you achieve results that make you feel comfortable and confident.

We understand that every patient’s recovery journey after breast implant removal is unique. Your recovery time will depend on various factors, such as your overall health, the complexity of your procedure, and whether you choose to combine your implant removal with a breast lift or other procedures.

Recovery from breast implant removal typically takes a few weeks, but full recovery can extend up to several months. Immediately after the procedure, patients may experience swelling, bruising, and discomfort, which can be managed with prescribed pain medications. The initial recovery period usually lasts about 1-2 weeks, during which you may be advised to avoid strenuous activities and wear a supportive bra to help with healing.

After the first few weeks, most individuals can resume light activities, but it’s important to avoid heavy lifting or vigorous exercise for at least 4-6 weeks. The final results may take several months to fully materialize as the body adjusts to the changes. Following the post-operative instructions carefully and attending follow-up appointments will help ensure a smooth recovery and optimal results.

At Partridge Plastic Surgery, if you have any concerns or experience unexpected symptoms during your recovery, our dedicated staff is always available to provide you with the support and care you need for a safe and smooth recovery.

We understand that the cost of breast implant removal is an important consideration for our patients. The total expense for breast implant removal can vary depending on several factors, such as the complexity of your case, the need for additional procedures, and whether the surgery is medically necessary. The location and the experience of your surgeon may also influence the overall cost. The average cost for breast implant removal ranges from $3,000 to $5,000. Additional costs like anesthesia, operating room fees, medical tests, and post-surgical garments may increase the total cost.

If your breast implant removal is deemed medically necessary, such as in cases of implant rupture or health complications, some insurance plans may help cover part of the cost. However, for cosmetic procedures, insurance typically does not provide coverage. It’s essential to consult with your surgeon to understand the full cost and to determine if you qualify for any insurance benefits.
