What is Breast Implant Removal?
Breast Implant Removal is a surgical procedure in Grand Rapids that is performed to remove breast implants from the body. This procedure is typically chosen by individuals who no longer wish to have implants in their breasts due to various reasons, such as dissatisfaction with the appearance, discomfort, or concerns about implant-related complications.
The surgery involves removing the implants and, in some cases, addressing any surrounding scar tissue or capsule that may have formed around the implants. By undergoing Breast Implant Removal, individuals in Michigan can achieve a more natural breast appearance and address any concerns they may have regarding their implants.
What are my options after Breast Implant Removal?
After your breast implants are removed, your breast may not appear the same as before your augmentation. We understand that regardless of how you feel about your implant removal, you still want to feel confident and sexy, which is why some patients elect additional breast improvement surgeries, such as a Breast Lift and/or other procedures that can restore your breasts’ beautiful shape and fullness, such as Fat Grafting.
Breast Lift
A Breast Lift is designed to address ptosis (sagging tissue) and nipple placement by raising your breasts into a more youthful position. This is achieved by Dr. Timek removing excess skin and tightening the surrounding tissue, reshaping your breasts, and giving them a better contour. If necessary, the areola can be reduced as well. The result is a rejuvenated appearance with an uplifted breast profile. When utilized after an implant removal, your breasts will lose their initial volume and size, but will still create a perky and revitalized appearance.
Breast Augmentation with Fat Grafting
Fat Grafting can be performed concurrently with Breast Implant Removal to enhance the natural appearance of the breasts after the implants are removed. During the procedure, fat is harvested from another area of the body, such as the abdomen or thighs, using liposuction techniques. The harvested fat is then processed and injected into specific areas of the breasts to restore volume and improve contour. This technique can help address any loss of volume or asymmetry that may occur after implant removal, resulting in a more aesthetically pleasing breast shape and size. If Fat Grafting is part of your procedure plan, our team will provide a clear course of action for the implementation of the procedure.
When you come in for your Breast Implant Removal consultation with Dr. Timek, she will be more than happy to discuss your options and what will work best for you, your frame, and your aesthetic goals.

What’s The First Step?
AT ADVANCED PLASTIC SURGERY
The first step in the Breast Implant Removal process involves scheduling a consultation. During this initial consultation, Dr. Timek and her team will perform a physical examination of your breasts, and discuss your reasons for wanting breast implant removal. We will also explain the procedure in detail, including potential risks and complications, and address any questions or concerns you may have. Based on this assessment, we will work with you to develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs and goals.
What to expect on the day of Breast Implant Removal surgery
On the day of your procedure, you will be greeted with a warm assurance from our specialized team. Before the surgery begins, you will be given anesthesia to guarantee you are comfortable and pain-free throughout the procedure. Once you are sedated, Dr. Timek will make incisions to access the breast implants and remove them.
Depending on your individual case, additional procedures such as capsule removal or Breast Lift may also be performed. After the implants are removed, the incisions will be closed with sutures, and dressings or bandages will be applied to protect the surgical site. You will then be taken to a recovery area where you will be monitored closely as you wake up from anesthesia.
Breast Implant Removal Recovery
After your procedure, it’s normal to experience some discomfort, swelling, and bruising around the surgical site. We will provide specific post-operative instructions to help manage these symptoms and promote healing. You may need to wear a supportive surgical bra or a compression garment to minimize swelling and provide additional support to the breasts as they heal. It’s essential to avoid strenuous activities, heavy lifting, and bending over during the initial recovery phase to prevent complications and promote optimal healing.
