SCOTTSDALE, AZ, USA, May 2, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ — Dr. Steven H. Turkeltaub, board-certified plastic surgeon in Scottsdale and director of the Arizona Breast Surgery Center, has extensive experience helping women navigate breast implant removal. This process, also known as “addiction,” represents an important decision that is influenced by a variety of personal and medical reasons. To help those considering implant removal make the most informed choices about their care, Dr. Turkeltaub offers guidance on the various phases of the procedure as well as what can be done to maximize the aesthetically pleasing appearance of breasts after an implant.
Why women choose to have breast implants removed
According to Dr. Turkeltaub, common motivations for breast implant removal include a desire for a more natural-looking breast, dealing with complications such as capsular contracture or breast implant disease, and changes in lifestyle or cosmetic preferences. Some women also choose to replace their existing implants with a new set to achieve a different breast aesthetic.
The decision to undergo an addiction is deeply personal and Dr. Turkeltaub encourages patients to be honest with their surgeons so that the treatment plan and outcome are best aligned with their personal goals.
Breast Implant Removal Methods
Dr. Turkeltaub explains that after a breast augmentation, a natural layer of scar tissue forms around the implants. Referred to as the capsule, this layer of scar tissue is usually soft, thin and flexible. Capsular contracture refers to a hardening of this scar tissue that often leads to implant deformities.
When it comes to removing or replacing implants, Dr. Turkeltaub notes that evaluating the condition of the capsule is important in determining the optimal approach. It uses cutting-edge techniques tailored to the unique needs of each patient, such as:
• Simple removal: The implant is removed without disturbing the surrounding tissues or the capsule.
• Partial Capsectomy: Partial capsulectomy involves excision of some but not all of the scar capsule surrounding the breast implant. This technique is often appropriate when either it is not necessary to remove the entire capsule or when doing so would result in functional or aesthetic deficits.
• Total Capsectomy: This approach involves the complete removal of the capsule, usually in incisions, formed around the implant along with the implant.
• En Bloc capsulectomy: En bloc capsulectomy is a sub-type of total capsulectomy that specifically involves removing the implant and the surrounding capsule together as a unit.
Improving the appearance of the breast after implantation
After the breast implant, Dr. Turkeltaub notes that breasts may appear loose or deflated as a result of volume loss associated with implants. While some women who have had smaller implants and who maintain good skin elasticity can achieve a satisfactory breast appearance naturally, others often choose to undergo an additional breast surgery to improve the aesthetics of their breasts post-implantation. Dr. Turkeltaub frequently performs breast lift and breast reduction surgery to help remove excess skin and restore a firmer, more defined breast aesthetic after implant removal.
