Although you can go to a very popular name that you know, for the procedure of breast implant removal you might have some complications that you did not expect. Going to an expert can reduce the risks, the number of complications that arise, and forewarn you about these. But even then, one cannot be absolutely certain of not getting any issues, as by the very nature of that surgery there are cosmetic consequences. When implants have been present for many years, the tissue characteristics change, and having surgery again gives less predictable results. But before you learn more about the procedure, let us explore a little further about what one can face following this surgery:
1. Less sensitive breasts: This is a common symptom that occurs in women after they Remove Silicone Implants. The sensation felt in the breasts and the sensitivity of the breast skin or nipple will be altered and sometimes quite numb compared to normal. These symptoms might abate after a period of about six-12 months. Although this is quite a normal consequence it can affect the normal erotic sensitivity that you had in your breasts before.
2. Breast sagging or deformity: This is one of the most obvious consequences that follow after the surgical procedure. The shape of the breasts is maintained with breast implants in place. Sometimes this is even more maintained because of thicker surrounding implant capsules too, acting as an extra support against tissue sag. Once these are removed, you can be sure the breasts will sag down and will have lost their shape. The tissue around the nipple may sag inwards giving a saucer type deformity, or a crease may form across the areola because there is no longer any supporting tissue behind it. The upper breast is usually flat.
3. Thick, red or painful scars: One of the problems can include the development of thick, red and painful scars on the breast area. The real issue is that these might continue for years after surgery. It is a type of reaction called hypertrophic scaring. There can be a genetic predisposition as well.
4. Capsule deformity to the breasts: If you have severe capsular contraction and your surgeon does not deal with but just removes the implants, the retained capsule tissue can be an ongoing issue. This will depend in part of how the capsule has formed. Where it is thickened or calcified it is generally better that it is removed during surgery where feasible and safe. If it has not been removed, a calcified thickened capsule can feel hard and abnormal and contribute to a misshaped appearance.
5. Seroma: It is possible that a seroma, which is a collection of watery yellow fluid can form in the cavity where the implants were. If this is a benign seroma, and of small volume it is not usually an issue and can sometimes even be somewhat beneficial in that it can help maintain a little shape behind the lower breast. Anything else, needs to be checked by your specialist, especially to consider complications or rare malignant conditions.
So, be prepared to experience these side effects when you have wanted to go for a surgery to Remove Silicone Implants. But yes, to reduce the side effects of the surgery, prefer an experienced surgeon for the procedure.
