Are Your Symptoms Linked to Your Breast Implants?
Do you feel constantly tired or mentally foggy?
Some individuals with Breast Implant Illness (BII) experience ongoing fatigue and trouble focusing, which can affect daily activities.
Do you feel pain or tightness in your chest or breasts?
Capsular contracture, caused by hardened scar tissue around the implant, can cause pain and alter the shape of the breast.
Have you noticed changes in your breast shape and size?
Variations in breast shape, size, or firmness can result from ageing, weight shifts, or capsular contracture, potentially causing asymmetry or implant shifting.
Are you experiencing unusual swelling or tenderness?
These symptoms may indicate inflammation, seroma (fluid build-up), or possibly breast implant-associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma (BIA-ALCL), a rare type of lymphoma.

What is Breast Implant Removal Surgery?
Breast implant removal, also known as explant surgery, is a procedure to take out silicone implants. In many cases, the surgeon also removes the surrounding scar tissue to ensure complete removal, especially when there are concerns about complications or changes in the implants.
The surgery typically lasts 1-2 hours under general anaesthesia, keeping you comfortable throughout the procedure.
Why Consider Breast Implant Removal?
Breast implant removal may be appropriate for various reasons, including:
- Health Concerns: Issues such as implant rupture, capsular contracture, infection, or symptoms of Breast Implant Illness (BII) may necessitate removal to alleviate pain or prevent further complications.
- Aesthetic Changes: Implants may shift, sag, ripple, or alter breast shape over time, leading to dissatisfaction with appearance. Removal allows for a return to a more natural look or further aesthetic enhancement.
- Personal Preferences: Lifestyle changes, ageing, or a shift in personal preference may lead some to choose a more natural appearance without implants.
