Patients considering breast implant removal in Santa Maria often have questions about the process and how to begin. At Charles Chalekson, MD, Plastic Surgery, you will receive honest guidance and expert care from a team of highly trained and qualified clinical professionals who truly understand your concerns.
What to Expect During the Procedure
Your breast implant removal procedure is customized to your needs and based on factors including:
- Your anatomy
- The type of implants you have
- The overall look you wish to achieve after surgery
In some cases, implant removal is straightforward, but in others, our Santa Maria medical team may recommend removing additional scar tissue or performing a breast lift to maintain a balanced contour. The procedure is typically done under general anesthesia at our accredited surgical center. Recovery times vary, but most patients can resume light activity within a week and can return to non-strenuous work after two weeks.
