Breast Implant Removal in East Lansing

If you are unhappy with your current breast implants and are considering implant removal, you are not alone. Michigan Plastic Surgery® can help. Breast augmentation is a procedure meant to help women achieve larger, fuller, and more symmetrical breasts. Some women are pleased with the final result, while others prefer to have their breast implants removed for a variety of reasons. Women may not be satisfied with the size of their current implants and would like to increase their size even further. In other cases, some women want to remove breast implants because of complications like capsular contracture (hardened scar tissue around the implant pocket), implant leaks, or other complications.

Implant Removal Surgery in East Lansing

Breast implant removal surgery is typically performed under general anesthesia as an outpatient procedure, meaning patients can go home the same day. During the breast implant removal procedure, incisions are made over existing scars around the breasts and/or in the inframammary fold under the breast. Once the incision is made, the implants and capsules are removed. Lansing plastic surgeon, Dr. Colony, will take care to achieve the desired results.For patients who no longer wish to have implants, but may be left with stretched, loose skin following removal, a breast lift procedure may be recommended to lift and reshape the breast tissue. You can also choose to have your implants replaced with newer and more advanced implant options.

Recovery After Implant Removal Surgery in East Lansing

Recovery time after surgery varies. Most patients do require a few days of rest at home prior to returning to work, and strenuous activity should be avoided for several weeks. All postoperative instructions given by your surgeon should be followed in order to ensure a safe recovery period and optimal results. This often includes the use of pain medication, a compression garment, and cold compresses to reduce swelling and discomfort.

Patient Testimonials

Dr. Colony’s professionalism, skill, and pure kindness are truly unmatched. I had a breast augmentation with Dr. Colony last year and he made me feel totally comfortable and supported through the entire process… I can’t recommend Michigan Plastic Surgery™ enough.

Was very cautious, and thought long and hard about whether I should or shouldn't. Awesome decision. Should have done it a long time ago. A great accomplishment that couldn't have been done without the help of Dr. Colony and his awesome team. If you're living a minute with any self-doubt or low self-esteem about a certain body part, put your Nikes on and JUST DO IT!

Dr. Colony and his staff are very professional. He was so thorough in explaining what to expect from my breast augmentation surgery and on the day of the surgery he came in and answered the questions that I had and put me at ease. The surgery went great and the results were fantastic. I highly recommend this office.
