If you experience implant-related pain, breast implant failure, age-related changes in breast contour, alterations in aesthetics due to breast implants or pathological changes in your breasts then you may go for breast implant removal or exchange surgery.

The surgery is performed under general anaesthesia. The site of the surgical incision for breast implant removal or exchange surgery is usually around and under the areola or under the breasts (inframammary fold). The incision site is decided depending on the initial implant placement and heeding the previous scar tissue. 

Mr. Ammar Allouni will remove or replace the breast implants with/without removing the scar tissue capsule surrounding the implant. The incision is then closed using sutures, skin adhesives or tapes. The breasts might be covered with bandages and a drain may be required for a day or so to reduce swelling post-surgery.

During your first appointment at our clinic, Mr. Ammar Allouni will clarify all your questions regarding the procedure. He will recommend surgery only if it is the best option for you. You will also be encouraged to clarify any doubts regarding the recovery period, post-surgical care and the expected outcomes.

He will take your detailed medical history and conduct relevant clinical assessments, which might be followed by a 3D projection of the expected result – if surgery is indicated in your case. Additionally, he will inform you of the potential risks and complications of the surgery. 

Some of your medications might require adjustments prior to the surgery or additional drugs may be prescribed. You will be asked to discontinue drugs like aspirin and herbal medications (if any) for a few days before and after the procedure. 

Mr Ammar Allouni will also inform you about certain precautions to be taken before and after surgery. He will instruct you to quit smoking and to avoid consuming alcohol and recreational drugs for a few days before and after the surgery.

• Pre-Surgical Care: After your full body assessment and before your surgery day you get the list of precautionary measures – what all you should avoid and what all you should do for the best results.

• Day of Surgery: Mr Allouni follows the BAAPS (British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons) guidelines for all cosmetic procedures. On the day of surgery, your health status will be reassessed thoroughly and a qualified nurse will prepare you for the procedure. Mr Ammar Allouni and his team will ensure your well-being and comfort throughout the procedure.

• Post-Surgical Care: Mr Allouni and his team will be at your side while you are recovering. Once you are ready to go home you will be receiving a proper guideline of dos and don’ts that you need to follow and instructions on how often you need to be in touch with your surgeon to share your recovery status.

• Follow up Stage – FREE: You will be provided with a schedule about your follow up appointments. All your follow-ups with your surgeon will be completely free.

• Personalised Care: Once you have gone through your surgery, you can always directly contact with Mr Ammar Allouni and his team in case you face any issue or concern in future.

It is likely that you may experience a feeling of soreness around your chest for a few days post-surgery. Drains that were inserted during the surgery are usually removed the next day. The healing process continues for several weeks post-surgery. You may feel ready to go back to work in about 1 week post the surgery.

The scar that is formed after the surgery reduces spontaneously and gradually. The amount of scar tissue formed depends on the surgical approach adopted as well as your body condition and age.

The final outcome of a breast implant removal surgery depends on the size of the implant that is being removed, the amount and quality of the breast tissue that is left after removal of the implant and the former scar tissue that surrounded the implant. It may take some time before the final results are visible.

While Breast Implant Removal or Exchange surgery is a safe procedure, potential risks include infection, hematoma, scar formation, painful breasts, prolonged swelling, fat necrosis, asymmetry of breasts, numbness of nipple, seroma and skin discolouration.
