Removal and Replacement of Breast Implants

You may be a candidate for breast implant removal and replacement if you decide you want different size implants after having already received breast augmentation, or you experience capsular contraction (hardening of your breasts) or unevenness in size due to an implant deflation or mal-position.

Dr. Kearney performs breast implant removal and replacement under general anesthesia and you may go home the same day. In most cases, the recovery from this procedure is reasonably quick since the implant pockets have already been made. Most patients return to work within a few days following the procedure and may return to normal activities within a few weeks.
