Breast Implant Removal

Overview

Breast implant removal surgery involves removing or revising the silicone or saline implants. According to the American Society of Plastic surgeons, implants don't have any expiry date, but you should replace them after every 12- 15 years. Some women might need this surgery because of tissue hardening around the implant or other complications, while others may remove or replace them with new ones.
