Breast Implant Removal in Bucharova

Before the procedure, you will be asked to provide supporting documents for the specialist to assess, such as medical records or a psychiatrist’s letter. These supporting documents are required to make sure that you are an ideal candidate for the procedure. Your surgeon will also evaluate your general health and any pre-existing health condition to ensure the success and safety of your breast implant removal. During the procedure, you will be given a general anesthetic, so you will be asleep and you will not feel anything. Your surgeon will make incisions in the same area as the incisions of your breast implant placement, usually along the lower fold of your breast or around/below the areola. Then, they will remove the implant. If you are experiencing capsular contracture, your surgeon will also remove the hardened capsules to accelerate the healing process. The final step is closing the incisions with sutures, skin adhesives, tapes, or clips.

The surgery takes between 1-3 hours to complete and most patients can leave the hospital on the same day of the surgery, but some will need to stay overnight. Since you need to attend follow-up visits that your surgeon has scheduled, plan to stay in Bucharova for at least a week. During the follow-up visits, your surgeon will monitor your healing and your general health.

The recovery period can be different from one person to another. In the first few days, you may experience some discomfort and swelling. You may also need to wear a support bra or surgical garment, as well as a compression garment to minimize the swelling. Your breasts may also feel tight and heavy for several weeks. However, most people agree that the recovery after breast implant removal is often smoother than the initial breast implant surgery. You should be able to go back to work within five days but avoid exercising excessively or lifting anything over five kilograms for about six weeks following the surgery.

Your surgeon will give you a post-operative instruction. It is important that you follow it closely to avoid complications. The instructions may include how to care for your surgical sites, medications to apply or take, and specific concerns to look for. In order to help with your recovery to make it smoother and faster, you will need to eat a well-balanced and healthy diet, limit your alcohol intake, avoid cigarettes, and perform some light exercises.

The alternatives to breast implant removal depend on the reason you want to remove them in the first place, so it is important to discuss with your doctor. If you have a saline breast implant, your surgeon may suggest deflating them without having to go through surgery, which can be performed under local anesthetic at their clinic.
