The Breast Implant Removal Process

Consultation
We start with a comprehensive consultation where Dr. Burke reviews your medical history, current implants, and concerns. You discuss your desired outcome and learn about necessary surgical techniques, always receiving the education you need to feel confident in your treatment plan.

Procedure
Dr. Burke performs your removal under local or general anesthesia based on your individual case. The procedure may include capsulectomy if scar tissue surrounds the implant or if it has ruptured. She pays close attention to symmetry, contour, and natural alignment, helping your chest appear balanced and feel comfortable.

Recovery
You rest while your body heals. Avoid lifting, pushing, or pulling anything over 10 pounds for 2 weeks. Do not drive while taking prescription pain medication, but we encourage gentle movement to support blood circulation and comfort. You should notice a lighter, more natural feeling as swelling subsides and healing progresses.

Pre-Care Instructions

Post-Care Instructions
Surgical sites must be clean and dry at all times. Our detailed guidance prevents irritation and encourages a smooth healing process.
Limit physical exertion and avoid lifting or stretching the upper body until cleared by Dr. Burke. Short walks can promote gentle recovery.
