Women choose breast implant removal for many reasons—and all of them are valid. Whether you're experiencing complications, lifestyle changes, or simply want to return to your natural body, Dr. Brzowski can help.

Common reasons for removal:

• Capsular contracture — hardened scar tissue causing discomfort or distortion
• Implant rupture or deflation — leaking silicone or saline
• Size or lifestyle concerns — difficulty exercising, back pain, or wanting a different look
• Health considerations — including concerns about BIA-ALCL or breast implant illness
• Personal preference — ready to restore your natural shape
• Whatever your reason, you deserve a surgeon who listens and delivers results you can trust.

What to Expect: En Bloc Capsulectomy

En bloc capsulectomy is a meticulous surgical technique that removes your breast implant and the surrounding scar tissue capsule together—completely intact. This ensures no silicone, debris, or capsule material is left behind.

The Process:

Consultation — Dr. Brzowski evaluates your implants, discusses your goals, and creates a personalized surgical plan

Surgery — The implant and capsule are carefully removed together; drains are placed to manage fluid

Optional reshaping — A breast lift or fat transfer can be performed simultaneously if you want added volume or lift

Recovery — Most patients return to work within 5 days; recovery is typically easier than the original augmentation

What is en bloc capsulectomy?

En bloc capsulectomy removes the breast implant and the surrounding scar tissue capsule together as one unit. This technique ensures complete removal of all implant-related material from your body.

Will I need a breast lift after removal?

It depends on your anatomy and goals. Some women are happy with their natural breast shape after removal, while others choose a lift to reposition tissue and create a more youthful contour. Dr. Brzowski will discuss your options during your consultation.

What about women concerned about BIA-ALCL?

BIA-ALCL is a rare lymphoma associated with textured breast implants. While the FDA does not recommend removal for women without symptoms, Dr. Brzowski can discuss your specific situation and whether removal is right for you. Watch for changes like swelling, pain, or lumps around your implants.

How much does breast implant removal cost?

Cost varies based on the complexity of your case and whether additional procedures (like a breast lift) are included. We provide detailed pricing during your consultation. Financing options are available.
