“When I learned one of my breast implants had ruptured, I was terrified and didn’t know where to start. The team at Town Plastic Surgery was incredible — they explained every step and helped me stay calm through the entire process. Dr. Ratner carefully removed the damaged implant and replaced it with beautiful, natural-looking results. The recovery was smooth, and my surgery was even covered by insurance.

Overview
What Is Breast Implant Rupture?
A breast implant rupture happens when the outer shell of a silicone or saline implant becomes damaged, causing leakage or a change in shape. This can occur from aging, trauma, or normal wear over time. Some ruptures cause visible changes like asymmetry or firmness, while others are only detected through imaging.
At Town Plastic Surgery, our board-certified surgeons specialize in the safe removal and replacement of ruptured implants, providing expert care and restored confidence.
What Is Breast Implant Removal?
Breast implant removal — also called explant surgery — is a procedure to remove one or both breast implants. In rupture cases, it often includes the removal of surrounding scar tissue (capsulectomy) and replacement of the damaged implant if desired.
Patients may need implant removal due to rupture, capsular contracture, discomfort, or aesthetic concerns. Our board-certified surgeons perform every procedure with patient safety and long-term results as top priorities. When rupture or other complications are confirmed, insurance often covers the cost of surgery.

Candidates For Breast Implant Removal
The best candidates for breast implant removal are patients who have experienced a suspected or confirmed implant rupture, leakage, or other complications such as capsular contracture or discomfort. You may also be a candidate if you’ve noticed changes in breast shape, firmness, or symmetry, or if your implants have shifted or aged beyond their recommended lifespan. Some patients choose removal to replace older implants, while others prefer to return to a more natural appearance.

FAQ
How is breast implant removal surgery performed?
Breast implant removal, also known as explant surgery, is typically performed under general anesthesia and takes about 1 to 2 hours. During the procedure, the surgeon makes an incision — usually along the original scar — and carefully removes each implant. If needed, the surrounding scar tissue (capsule) is also removed in a process called capsulectomy.
Depending on your anatomy and goals, the surgeon may also reshape the breast tissue or perform a breast lift at the same time. Once complete, the incisions are closed with sutures, and you’ll return home the same day with post-operative instructions and support.
What is recovery like from breast Implant Removal?
Recovery varies by patient, but most people are up and moving within a day or two after surgery. Mild soreness, tightness, or swelling is common and may last for a couple of weeks. Most patients can return to work and light daily activities within 1 to 2 weeks.
However, it’s important to avoid lifting, pushing, or pulling — especially overhead — for at least 4 to 6 weeks. Strenuous exercise should be gradually resumed only after clearance from your surgeon to ensure proper healing.
How long do the results breast Implant Removal last?
The results of breast implant removal are permanent — once the implants are taken out, they do not return. However, natural factors like aging, skin elasticity, and weight fluctuations can affect the appearance of your breasts over time. If a breast lift is performed during your explant surgery, the results can be more youthful and long-lasting.
Maintaining a stable weight and healthy lifestyle can help preserve your outcome.
