Breast augmentation is a very effective way for women to improve their body’s proportions and improve their self-esteem and quality of life, but there are times when removing breast implants is required.

Our board-certified plastic surgeon, Dr. Matthew H. Steele, M.D., can help women in Mansfield to remove their breast implants for a more natural look and feel.

Explant surgery can be an empowering option for clients in Mansfield who want to realign their physical appearance with their sense of self. While breast implants may once have been a key part of your body aesthetic, over time your preferences may change. This is a normal process that many women experience as they age, and our goal is to help you achieve your aesthetic goals without judgment.
Other women may be unhappy with the size, shape, or feel of their implants, but would like a revision. While corrections may be possible in these cases, sometimes full implant removal and replacement is the best course of action.
Breast implant removal can also be done for functional reasons. Some women develop back or neck pain after getting implants. Removing this extra weight and restoring your breast to its natural state can alleviate this discomfort and improve physical health and overall quality of life.
In rare cases, breast implant removal may be recommended for those who have experienced complications with their implants, such as capsular contraction (hardening of the implant), implant rupture, or pain. If you are experiencing complications from your breast implants, schedule a consultation with Dr. Steele, and he will assess your implant condition and recommend proper treatment.
Explant surgery for patients in Mansfield is a safe solution to restore their breasts to a natural look and feel. Appropriate candidates for the procedure will have strong personal reasons for wanting to remove their implants, whether it is cosmetic or functional. You may be dissatisfied with your breast appearance, desire a more natural look, or have experienced lifestyle changes that make the implants no longer suitable.
Appropriate candidates in Mansfield should have realistic expectations for their implant removal surgery. Dr. Steele will make an incision along the crease under your breast and remove your implant and some portion of the breast implant capsule. If the implants are removed and not replaced, the breast will have an altered shape and size, and there may be irregularities or indentations in the skin. While Dr. Steele is an expert in the field and will leave your breasts looking beautiful and natural, sometimes it may not be possible to restore your breasts to their exact pre-implant look. A breast lift is often required to remove excess skin and reposition and reshape the breast.
Breast implant removal can help women realign with their authentic selves or address any pain that has developed from the implants. Dr. Steele approaches this process with compassion and grace. Our primary goal is to help you discover your best self; and for many, this means restoring your natural body image.
