Breast Implant Removal With Dr. Jiles

Breast implant removal surgery can be your first step when you are looking for relief from painful implants or you are just looking to change your appearance. This procedure safely removes your breast implants and any scar tissue that may have formed around them. If you’ve been feeling the discomfort of hardened scar tissue or you are looking to remove your implants for medical reasons, this surgery could be the life-enhancing option you’ve been looking for. During your breast implant removal surgery, we make an incision under your breast or around your areola for minimal visible scarring. Our approach focuses on your comfort as we deliver results that exceed your expectations.

Capsulectomy Surgery in Sarasota

Dr. Jiles also offers capsulectomy to remove hardened scar tissue, or capsules, that can form around your implants and make them feel as hard as a rock. This process is known as capsular calcification.

A capsulectomy procedure is beneficial if you’ve been experiencing capsular contracture, making your implants uncomfortable and affecting the way they look. 

During a capsulectomy, Dr. Jiles removes the entire capsule to help alleviate the symptoms and improve the overall appearance of your breasts. This targeted approach helps make sure that your breasts get back to a more natural state and texture. It can provide you with relief and a renewed sense of confidence.

Are You a Good Candidate for Breast Implant Removal Surgery?

When you are trying to decide whether breast implant removal in Sarasota or Tampa is the right choice, you do need to consider several personal factors. Here’s how you can tell if you are a good candidate:

Ideal Candidates for Breast Implant Removal:

  • You experience discomfort or chronic pain associated with your current breast implants.
  • You have concerns about the integrity of your implants as a result of aging or some malfunction.
  • You want a change in the size or shape of your breasts.
  • Imaging testing shows that there is a possible leak or rupture that poses a health risk and requires silicone implant removal.
  • You’ve noticed hardening in your breast tissue around the implant.

Who Might Not Be Suitable for Removing Breast Implants:

  • If you have active infections or untreated breast cancer, this procedure could potentially pose additional risks.
  • When you are pregnant or breastfeeding, we recommend that you postpone the surgery to avoid any potential complications.
  • Those with a history of poor wound healing or severe chronic illnesses may face increased risks during and after the surgery.
  • If you have unrealistic expectations about the outcomes of the removal, such as expecting complete restoration of the pre-implant breast appearance without additional procedures like a breast lift.

 

Remember, before you decide to move forward with your breast implant removal, make sure it is a well-informed decision. We discuss your goals and your background during your consultation so we can decide if a breast lift removal is the right choice.

Dr. Jiles Otoplasty review

It’s taken me months to write this review, but I wanted to provide a review that pertained to more than just an initial opinion. I had breast implants placed 15 years ago by a different surgeon. One ruptured and Dr. Jiles is the surgeon that I trusted to clean the old implant out and replace with new implants. She also performed a tummy tuck on me at the same time. From the initial consult she was honest, and thorough in her evaluation and answered all my questions. The day of surgery she eased my nerves and truly became everything I needed to get through it. Her quick follow up assured me that all went great. Any questions I had during recovery she made sure she made the time to address and provide feedback that my recovery went wonderful. In the past several months I have been blessed to see her amazing work, the vision we both spoke about and seeing the strong foundation that she healed within me. I have become much stronger and confident with an added bonus of lower back pain that no longer exists from her repairing my muscles. Dr.Jiles and her staff are caring and make the time to meet your needs! I will choose her for any care in the future that could come up.

Breast Explantation Recovery and Aftercare

Recovering from breast implant removal at our Sarasota and Tampa locations involves a structured process that helps you heal the way you should. Before you leave the hospital, we provide you with comprehensive aftercare instructions that help minimize your discomfort and avoid any complications. Understanding what to expect in each phase of recovery will help you feel more confident as you navigate the healing process.

Immediate Post-Operative Care

In the first few days after your breast implant removal, it’s completely normal to experience some swelling and discomfort. We give you instructions on how to manage your pain, and we will most likely prescribe medication to help ease any soreness. During these initial days, it is very important that you keep the surgical area clean and dry. You also need to focus on getting enough rest so your body can heal. Short, gentle walks are a great way to promote blood circulation and prevent blood clots. 

Mid-Recovery Phase

After the first week or so, you’ll start to notice a gradual improvement in swelling and discomfort. Don’t just jump into more extensive activities. Make sure you follow Dr. Jiles’ guidelines on gradually resuming activities. You should continue to wear any supportive garments prescribed to you so they can shape your breasts post-surgery and reduce swelling. Monitor for any signs of infection or unusual changes in your breast appearance and contact Dr. Jiles’ office immediately if these occur.

Long-Term Healing and Follow-Up

The final phase of recovery varies in length, typically lasting several weeks to a few months. During this time, you’ll have scheduled follow-up visits with Dr. Jiles to check and make sure that your breasts are healing exactly the way they should. These appointments are a good opportunity to discuss any concerns you might have about the healing process or about the results. As you approach the end of recovery, you’ll receive guidance on resuming more strenuous activities and lifting that are tailored to your personal progress and comfort.

Understanding the Risks of Breast Removal Surgery

As with any surgery, there are risks involved with the removal of breast implants, which Dr. Jiles will discuss with you in detail. These include: 

  • Asymmetry
  • Bleeding
  • Infection
  • Anesthesia Risks
  • Seroma Formation
  • Numbness
  • Scarring
  • Need for Revision Surgery
