After undergoing a breast augmentation to enhance the size and shape of the breasts, some women may choose to have their implants taken out for a variety of factors. At San Diego Plastic Surgery Center in San Diego, CA, Dr. Jose Rodriguez consults with women who want to remove their breast implants. This surgery is typically performed to address issues such as implant rupture, capsular contracture, changes in aesthetic preferences, or to alleviate discomfort. Breast implant removal can involve removing the implants alone or together with the surrounding scar tissue (capsulectomy). Sometimes, a breast lift might be desired following implant removal based upon the size of the implants, as well as how much your skin has stretched. Dr. Rodriguez ensures personalized care, discussing each patient's goals and concerns to tailor the procedure to their specific needs.
