Breast Implant Removal Surgery in Gilbert, AZ
Breast augmentation can create beautiful, long-lasting results, but over time, some women may find themselves considering removing their implants and returning to their original size. There are many reasons why an individual might come to this decision. For many, their lifestyles or preferences have changed, and for others, they are experiencing medical complications from their breast implants.
Whatever your reason for wanting your implants removed, discover how board-certified plastic surgeon Rohit Jaiswal, MD, and our medical team of exceptional physicians at DrSkin Med Spa in Gilbert AZ perform breast implant removal surgery to help you feel comfortable and confident about your appearance again.
What Is Breast Implant Removal Surgery?
Breast implant removal, or breast explant surgery, is a surgical procedure that involves the careful extraction of the breast implants along with any scar tissue that may have formed around them. The procedure is set apart from breast augmentation or implant insertions because it focuses on safely and effectively returning the breasts as close to their natural size and state as possible.
Our team includes some of the best physicians and clinicians in their field and the country. Leading our elite plastic surgery department is Dr. Rohit Jaiswal, MD, a ten-year veteran and Top 100 Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon, who utilizes his prestigious education, impressive training, surgical excellence, and artistic vision for every breast implant removal he performs in Gilbert, AZ.

What to Expect During Your Breast Implant Removal Consultation?
When you arrive for your complimentary breast implant removal consultation at DrSkin Med Spa, you will be greeted by one of our clinicians, who will guide you through the entire process.
You will be led to a private in-office room to discuss your concerns surrounding the appearance or function of your current breast implants. With your specific concerns in mind, they will describe the possible details of your breast implant removal procedure and address questions or concerns surrounding your options. You’ll then be provided with all the information and tools necessary for a safe and healthy recovery.
The clinician will then take a series of “before” photographs, provide you with a list of potential surgical fees, and answer any follow-up questions. Your provider will then share these photos with Dr. Jaiswal, who will determine your candidacy for treatment and begin finalizing the details and cost of your surgical plan.
Once feedback has been collected from Dr. Jaiswal, our clinical director will contact you to discuss possible next steps. Once you confirm you are ready to move forward, a formal quote will be provided, and a second consultation with Dr. Jaiswal will be scheduled to dive further into your breast implant removal plan, expected recovery, and any other details regarding your procedure.
How Is Breast Implant Removal Performed?
Breast implant removal surgery is completed in-office at DrSkin Med Spa under local anesthesia. The procedure involves an injection of numbing medication into the area surrounding the scar from which the implant was initially inserted.
If possible, Dr. Jaiswal will use the same incisions from your initial breast augmentation surgery to remove your implants to help avoid any additional scarring. If the scar quality is poor, the entire scar may be excised, and a new scar will be created for more aesthetic results.
Once Dr. Jaiswal empties the breast pocket, he will irrigate the area with an antibiotic saline solution and close the incisions using dissolvable sutures. Your chest will be bound in medical gauze, and you’ll have help getting dressed into your clothing. After an in-depth discussion about aftercare concerning your incisions, you’ll be released to a trusted family member or friend who can drive you home to recover.
Procedures That Can Be Combined with Breast Explant
Many patients often have fears that include stretched-out skin or deformity, particularly if their implants were large or have been in for a long period. After breast explantation, the breasts can often return to their pre-augmentation size, shape, and condition. However, if you have your explant surgery and realize after a few months that you aren’t satisfied with the appearance of your breasts, you can discuss additional procedures with Dr. Jaiswal, including:
Breast Lift |
Mastopexy
During a breast lift, Dr. Jaiswal will remove excess skin and reshape the remaining tissue for a contoured breast shape, addressing breast laxity and achieving ideal nipple placement for more youthful-looking breasts.
Breast Implant Exchange
Breast implant exchange is another means of making up volume after implant removal. After removing the damaged or unwanted breast implants, Dr. Jaiswal will insert the new breast implants into the healthy breast pocket to achieve your desired enhancements.
Breast Augmentation with Fat Grafting
Breast augmentation with fat grafting uses liposuction to remove fat from a donor location on the body, purify it, and then inject it into the breasts. This is an excellent option for women who are looking for a subtle increase in their breast size and would prefer natural measures rather than artificial devices.
The Best Candidate for Breast Implant Revision Surgery
Ideal candidates for an Arizona breast implant removal at DrSkin Med Spa are individuals who want to return to their natural breast size or are experiencing a medical concern, such as leakage, rupture, or capsular contracture. DrSkin Med Spa welcomes patients of all genders, ages, and ethnicities who are in good overall health and have no current medical conditions that could put them or the success of their surgery at risk.
Patients who are no longer comfortable or satisfied with the size of their current breast implants are excellent candidates. The goal of a breast explant or exchange is to help make the patient’s life more comfortable and reach their ideal aesthetic goals.
Preparing for Your Breast Implant Revision Surgery
One week before your breast explant surgery, Dr. Jaiswal may ask patients to stop taking aspirin or other blood-thinning medications that could potentially interfere with the body’s ability to clot blood effectively.
Dr. Jaiswal will call in the patient’s prescriptions to their preferred pharmacy 48 to 72 hours prior to surgery and must be acquired before the day of their procedure. Patients will be provided with written and verbal pre- and post-operative instructions to ensure complete understanding and preparation.
What Can You Expect on the Day of Your Breast Implant Removal
Upon arrival at DrSkin Med Spa, you will be welcomed, checked in, and taken to a private room to prepare for surgery. Just before your procedure, Dr. Jaiswal will arrive to review the details of your breast explant case. He will mark the specific areas on your breasts where he plans to place incisions and remove your implants.
As Dr. Jaiswal marks your skin, he will discuss his approach to your procedure, including local anesthesia, the condition of your scars, how he plans to make incisions, any expected discomfort, and review your post-operative instructions.
Once the surgical area is thoroughly prepared, a local anesthetic will be injected into your breast augmentation scars and Dr. Jaiswal will begin the surgical process. Generally, each breast explant surgery requires anywhere from 1 to 2 hours, depending on the specific case. After the surgery, your incisions will be closed using internal dissolvable sutures, dressed, and bound for protection to help reduce swelling.

Breast Implant Removal— FAQS
Why do women choose to have their breast implants removed?
Women choose to have their breast implants removed for various personal reasons. Some of the most common contributions to this decision include physical pain or discomfort associated with implants, changes to their personal aesthetic preferences, life events, or medical concerns.
As women get older and experience lifestyle changes, their perceptions of comfort and beauty can also shift. This can lead them to reconsider their implants. Physical discomforts, including back, shoulder, or neck pain, can also contribute to their explant decision. Some women may experience medical complications like capsular contracture where scar tissue forms around the implant, causing distortion and terrible discomfort.
Life events, or the anticipation of such, like starting a family, which include pregnancy and breastfeeding, can also lead women to undergo breast explant surgery.
Are there risks associated with breast implant removal?
Like with any surgical procedure, breast implant removal does come with its own set of risks. These can include infection, bleeding, and changes to breast sensation. Additionally, there is the chance of aesthetic issues, such as uneven breast appearance or scarring. At DrSkin Med Spa, these risks are carefully managed by Dr. Jaiswal and our team of physicians. Our approach includes thorough surgical assessments, advanced surgical techniques, and meticulous post-operative protocols.
Can I add volume back to my breast naturally without the use of implants?
Yes, Dr. Jaiswal does offer the option of returning volume to your breasts using fat grafting. A fat grafting procedure involves healthy viable fat cells being extracted from a secondary location on the body, such as the stomach, thighs, back or buttocks. Once extracted, the fat is purified and prepared for insertion into the breasts. This method of breast enhancement delivers subtle, natural-looking volume back to the breast without an implant.
How much does breast implant removal cost?
The cost of your breast implant removal procedure will be discussed during your final consultation at our Arizona office. During your consultation, Dr. Jaiswal will provide you an estimated quote based on your individual needs.
The cost of your breast implant removal surgery may include:
Surgeon’s fees
Necessary medical tests
Medical prescriptions
Post-surgical garments
Localized anesthesia fees
