What Are The Implant Complications or Need for Removal?

Implant complications or removal refers to situations where breast implants require correction, replacement, or complete removal due to medical or aesthetic concerns. These may include capsular contracture, implant rupture, shifting, discomfort, or changes in personal preference over time, as well as noticeable changes in breast shape, firmness, or symmetry. Complications related to surgical mesh, such as Strattice, GalaFLEX, or DuraSorb, can include inflammation, delayed healing, or issues with tissue integration, which may affect support and overall results. In certain cases, implant removal is chosen to restore a more natural contour or improve long-term comfort.
