Embracing Change: The Journey of Breast Implant Removal

In life, change is inevitable, and sometimes, it involves making courageous decisions that shape our future. One such decision that many individuals face is breast implant removal. Whether driven by shifting preferences, health concerns, or lifestyle changes, the journey of breast implant removal is deeply personal and transformative.

At Tampa Palms Plastic Surgery, we understand the significance of this decision and strive to provide compassionate support and expert guidance to those considering this transformative step. Our experienced plastic surgeons are dedicated to helping individuals navigate this journey with confidence and empowerment.

Breast implant removal can be prompted by various reasons. Some individuals may find that their aesthetic preferences have evolved over time, leading them to desire a more natural look. Others may face health concerns such as implant rupture or capsular contracture, necessitating removal for safety and well-being. Lifestyle changes, such as pregnancy or weight fluctuations, can also impact the appearance of implants, prompting the decision for removal.

The process of breast implant removal begins with a consultation with one of our skilled plastic surgeons. During this consultation, we take the time to understand the individual's reasons for removal and desired outcomes. Our surgeons work closely with each patient to develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to their unique needs and goals.

Surgical procedures may vary depending on the individual's circumstances, potentially involving additional procedures such as a breast lift or capsule removal. Our team provides comprehensive post-operative care instructions to ensure a smooth recovery process, prioritizing the well-being and comfort of our patients every step of the way.

As individuals embark on this journey of change, we stand ready to support them with expertise, compassion, and understanding. Breast implant removal signifies a new chapter in one's personal journey, and we are honored to be a part of that journey.

Breast Augmentation remains the most popular elective cosmetic plastic surgery procedure and has one of the highest patient satisfaction ratings. The ability to provide additional breast volume, or restore lost volume, is an important aspect of my practice as a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon.

Is it Time to Downsize?

But even good things do not always last forever. Short of deflation, breast implants maintain their original volume; however, the same cannot be said for natural breast tissue. Breasts change size and shape with pregnancy, fluctuations in weight or even normal aging. As a result, when the breast tissue grows, the breasts become larger than desired, and smaller breast implants may be more suitable to maintain aesthetic body proportions.

👩‍⚕️ Breast implant encapsulation is a potential complication of breast augmentation surgery. It occurs when scar tissue forms around the implant, causing it to harden and deform. This can lead to discomfort, pain, and changes in breast shape. 🔍 Knowing the signs of breast implant encapsulation is crucial for early detection and treatment. These signs include breast asymmetry, firmness or hardness of the breast, pain or discomfort, and changes in breast shape or position. 💡 If you suspect you may have breast implant encapsulation, it's important to consult with your plastic surgeon. They can evaluate your symptoms and recommend the best course of treatment, which may include implant removal or revision surgery.1. Understanding Breast Implant Encapsulation: Causes and SymptomsBreast implant encapsulation occurs when scar tissue forms around the implant, causing it to harden. 🤔 The exact cause is unknown, but factors like infection, implant rupture, and bleeding may contribute. 🤕 Symptoms include pain, swelling, and distortion of the breast. 🙁 Capsular contracture is a common complication of breast augmentation. 🤷��♀️ It occurs when the scar tissue tightens around the implant, causing discomfort and an unnatural appearance. 🤦‍♀️ The severity of the condition varies, and treatment options include surgery, massage, and medication. 💊 The Baker grading system is used to classify the severity of breast implant encapsulation. 📈 Grade 1 is mild, with the breast feeling soft and natural. Grade 2 is moderate, with some firmness and distortion. Grade 3 is severe, with the breast feeling hard and painful. Grade 4 is rare, with a complete capsule around the implant. 🙅‍♀️ Prevention measures include choosing the right implant size, selecting a qualified surgeon, and following post-operative instructions. 🙌 Regular check-ups and mammograms are also recommended. 🩺 If you experience any symptoms of encapsulation, seek medical attention immediately. 🚨 Early detection and treatment can prevent further complications. 💪2. How to Detect Breast Implant Encapsulation: Signs to Look Out forWhen breast implants become encapsulated, they harden and cause discomfort. Here are signs to look out for: Hardness or firmness in the breast Pain or discomfort in the breast Change in breast shape or size Breast asymmetry Visible rippling or wrinkling of the implant Breast redness or warmth If you experience any of these signs, consult your plastic surgeon. They may recommend a mammogram or MRI to confirm encapsulation. Encapsulation can occur at any time after breast augmentation surgery. It may be caused by infection, trauma, or a reaction to the implant material. Early detection of encapsulation is important. Treatment options include implant removal or replacement, or surgical removal of the capsule around the implant. Regular breast self-exams and follow-up appointments with your plastic surgeon can help detect encapsulation early and prevent complications. Remember, breast implant encapsulation is treatable. Don't hesitate to seek medical attention if you notice any signs.3. The Role of Breast Implant Ultrasound in Diagnosing EncapsulationBreast implant ultrasound is a non-invasive diagnostic tool used to detect encapsulation. It can identify the presence of fluid or scar tissue around the implant. Ultrasound can also determine if the implant has ruptured or if there are any abnormalities in the breast tissue. It is a safe and effective method for diagnosing encapsulation and monitoring breast health. Regular ultrasound screenings can help detect issues early and prevent complications. 👍🏼👩🏻‍⚕️📈💻🔍💊🏥🩺💉👨🏽‍🔬👩🏼‍🔬4. Treating Breast Implant Encapsulation: Surgical and Non-Surgical OptionsWhen breast implants harden, it's called encapsulation. Here are some options to treat it: Surgical: Capsulectomy, a procedure to remove the capsule, is the most effective option. Non-surgical: Ultrasound therapy, massage, and medication can help reduce the hardness of the capsule. Non-surgical options are less invasive and have fewer risks than surgery. However, they may not be as effective. It's important to consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon to determine the best course of action. Recovery: Recovery time for surgery varies, but most patients can resume normal activities within a week. Cost: The cost of treatment varies depending on the type of procedure and location. It's important to check with your insurance provider. Regular follow-ups with your surgeon are essential to monitor the progress of your treatment and ensure your implants are functioning properly. Remember, breast implant encapsulation is a rare complication, but it's important to be aware of the options available if it does occur.5. Preventing Breast Implant Encapsulation: Tips and Best PracticesPreventing breast implant encapsulation is crucial for maintaining the health and appearance of your breasts. Here are some tips and best practices: Choose a qualified and experienced surgeon for your breast augmentation. Follow your surgeon's post-operative instructions carefully. Avoid smoking and excessive alcohol consumption, which can impede healing. Consider massage techniques to prevent scar tissue formation. Regularly monitor your breasts for any changes or abnormalities. Additionally, it's important to choose the right type of implant for your body. Silicone implants have a lower risk of encapsulation than saline implants. If you do experience encapsulation, early detection and treatment are key. Your surgeon may recommend a revision surgery or other treatments to address the issue. Remember, prevention is the best approach to breast implant encapsulation. By following these tips and best practices, you can maintain the health and appearance of your breasts for years to come. 🙌6. Living with Breast Implant Encapsulation: Coping Strategies and Support ResourcesLiving with breast implant encapsulation can be challenging, but there are coping strategies and support resources available to help you manage the condition. 👉 Coping strategies: - Stay informed about the condition and its symptoms - Seek medical advice and treatment - Practice self-care and stress management techniques - Connect with support groups and other women with similar experiences 👉 Support resources: - Breast Implant Illness and Healing Facebook group - Breast Implant Victim Advocacy - Breast Implant Information website - Breast Cancer Now helpline Remember, you are not alone in this journey. Seek help and support whenever you need it. In conclusion, it's essential to keep an eye on the signs of breast implant encapsulation. Early detection can prevent further complications. 🚨 If you experience any of the symptoms mentioned, don't hesitate to consult your doctor. It's better to be safe than sorry. 🩺 Remember, breast implant encapsulation is a rare but possible complication. Regular checkups and proper care can minimize the risk. Stay healthy and happy! 🌟 https://symptomfinder.com/signs-of-breast-implant-encapsulation/?_unique_id=6485451eb1fe0

Remember when I said I was done with surgeries...

Hey y’all! It’s been way too long. And I’m gonna fully blame it on Maisie. She’s still absolutely crazy. She’s now 2 years and 2 months... and that’s almost how long I’ve been feeling ill. It started in pregnancy: nausea, no appetite, fatigue. But those are all completely normal pregnancy symptoms. But they never went away, just got worse. If you have ever eaten with me, especially at Olive Garden or CiCi’s, you know I can eat a shocking amount. I love food. I used to call my mom at work while eating breakfast every morning and ask, “what’s for dinner?” Now, I’m to the point where I’ll eat ANYthing I can get to even look/sound a smidge enticing. Most of the time, the more I run through my normally favorite foods, the more nauseous I become. Then I’d take a Zofran (anti-nausea) and get bloated/stopped up. Either way, nothing good is ever going on with my stomach. 🤦🏼‍♀️ So after a physical exam, blood tests, and a belly sonogram this past year, my doctor finally said, we’re done with the easy tests, time for the rough ones. We started listing all my issues, other than the nausea and loss of appetite. Fatigue is a huge one, I can’t take a shower without getting so exhausted, I just can’t wait to get it over with so I can get out and lay down. You guys, being a stay at home mom to a very active toddler is not for the fatigued. 🤦🏼‍♀️ Anxiety and depression, something I’ve dealt with for quite awhile, but it’s gotten worse. By that I mean more often and intense, and for no apparent reason, while on anti anxiety and anti-depression medications. I then show him my stomach, where I still have a lingering skin infection, something I thought was a heat rash from sleeping on my stomach, I guess sweat just irritates it 🤷🏼‍♀️ Brain fog, forgetfulness, hair loss, migraines. These are all easily chalked up to my injuries, pregnancy brain, mom brain, postpartum symptoms, all things that didn’t scream, “run to the emergency room already!” But after so long and the symptoms list growing, we had to figure it out before I lost it. Then it hit us, what if my implants are ruptured?! First up, I met with a G.I. Doctor that set me up to get a stomach scope and colonoscopy at the same time 😩 then went to get a mammogram and breast sonogram, which is where I learned my right (silicone) breast implant is ruptured... oh and the molding is mostly in my armpit. Y’all, my anxiety escalated quickly. I immediately googled everything “ruptured silicone implants” and was starting to have a heart attack, or maybe it was a panic attack 🤷🏼‍♀️ it was bad. The longer you leave a ruptured silicone implant in your body, the more time it has to migrate to other parts of your body. Once it’s in another part, it’s there, there’s no removing it. Within days I had seen my surgeon to go over getting them removed, and the surgery scheduled for January 3rd 2019. While I’m excited to postpone, 🤞🏻maybe cancel all together, that scope and colonoscopy... buuut, I feel like those woulda been way easier than removing my boobs 🙄 Ya live and ya learn. And that’s why we’re here. Seriously, if you are thinking about breast implants, please don’t. I regretted mine within 2 weeks of getting them, and I’d wanted them for as long as I could remember. But sick 34 year old me wants to throat punch 25 year old me, hard. They weren’t worth it. And now I wait 5.5 more days, get the implants and scar tissue capsules removed, and then have family come over while Shea’s at work to help me with Maisie, because I can’t even lift her for 3+ weeks. I’m honestly praying this is the reason behind my sickness, so I can start healing, feel better, and absolutely not go get a scope/colonoscopy. 🙌🏻 Rolling on all the Young Living Tranquil blend and trying to breathe.

I can't even describe to you the feeling of having two uncomfortable plastic sacks crammed under your pectorals, let alone attempting to lie down on them. . I hadn't slept without a bra on for 14 years. It was horrifically uncomfortable to not confine them. I also grew so used to having to build my life, workouts, EVERYTHING around the restrictions of these body modifications. It wasn't till now, having rid myself of them, do I realize how poor my quality of life was. . I am still sore when hyper extending....but I am able to do SO much more. My surgery is allowing me to ambulate in ways I forgot I was capable of. . I had lost ALL feeling in my nipples. You could chop em off and I wouldn't have known. @florencemussatmd worked miracles. Not only are my nipples alive again, they're adorable and the boobs I am left with are looking cute as all hell. I never thought they would...but I have 25 year old looking titties...and I ain't mad at it. . Today, I worked out without a top. It was awesome Face full of avon....

What causes breast implants to feel hard or become misshapen? It is not the actual implant that hardens or changes shape, it is the scar tissue that develops around the implant. Most women who have breast augmentation make very soft scar tissue (think wet toilet paper), but some make very hard, thick, and in this case, calcified scar tissue (think eggshell). This patient had her implants placed over the muscle (risk factor for hard scar tissue formation) 11 years ago and was bothered by how hard and misshapen they had become. She came to us for removal of the implants, scar tissue (aka capsule), and breast lift surgery. This video shows the capsule and implant removed en bloc (together) and the calcified capsule being pried open to remove the soft implant within. #southbayplasticsurgeons #ilovemyjob #thebodyisamazing #sbps #capsulectomy #breastimplantremoval (at South Bay Plastic Surgeons)
