Why Some Women Choose to Remove Breast Implants

The reasons women consider breast implant removal are personal and often layered. For some, it’s a change in how their body feels. For others, it’s a shift in how they want to look. 

At Desert Hills Plastic Surgery Center in Henderson, Nevada, board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Hayley Brown has supported women through these decisions for nearly three decades. She has years of hands-on experience in various breast surgeries and will support your decision to remove implants, no matter the reason.

Why Some Women Decide to Remove Their Implants

There isn’t one universal reason for wanting implants removed. Here are some common reasons women decide it’s time to have them taken out:

• Lifestyle changes: What felt like the right choice years ago might not match how you live or feel today. You want to have a more natural shape again.
• Discomfort: Some women find their implants feel heavy or just physically uncomfortable over time.
• Capsular contracture: This happens when scar tissue tightens around the implant, causing firmness or pain.
• Implant rupture or deflation: If an implant leaks or breaks, you can either get it replaced or choose total removal.
• Changes in appearance: Weight shifts, aging, or pregnancy can change how implants sit or look.
• Tired of the upkeep: Keeping up with implant monitoring and the idea of future surgeries can feel like too much.
• Health concerns or medical conditions: Some women feel their implants are affecting their health or making existing conditions worse.
