The American Society of Plastic Surgeons recommends that breast implants be removed or replaced every 10 to 15 years. However, your surgeon may not necessarily recommend a removal if you have not had any complications.
Some patients in Silver Spring may want their implants removed because their breast shape has changed. This can result from factors such as age, pregnancy, breastfeeding, or weight change.
In some cases in Silver Spring, the removal of breast enhancement implants is medically necessary, most commonly because of hardened scar tissue around the implants known as capsular contracture. This can cause pain or changes to the appearance of the breasts.
Other reasons for removal of breast implants include breast implant-associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma (a rare cancer that can occur in scar tissue around an implant and is most commonly found in textured implants), leaking or movement of the implant, or calcium buildup around the implant.
