NATURAL. RENEWED. RESTORED.
Expert implant removal with simultaneous breast lift for a natural, youthful shape — tailored to your anatomy and your goals.
ABOUT THIS SERVICE
Scar tissue hardening around implants — known as capsular contracture — is the most frequent cause of implant removal. It can result in pain, discomfort, or visibly distorted breasts. Other implant-related problems, including breast implant illness (BII) and breast implant-associated anaplastic large-cell lymphoma (BIA-ALCL), can also prompt the need for removal. Many women also simply choose to have their implants removed as their preferences evolve over time.
It is important to think carefully about how your breasts will look following removal. To achieve a natural, balanced result, additional procedures such as a breast lift (mastopexy) and fat transfer may be performed at the same time. These techniques help reposition and reshape breast tissue, restoring a youthful contour with natural volume.

Surgery Time
Anaesthesia
Hospital Stay
Drains Required
Supporting Garment
The exact surgical approach — augmentation, reduction, lift or combination — is determined at consultation based on your individual anatomy and goals.
RECOVERY TIMELINE
Weeks 1–2
Follow-up appointments at week 1 and week 2 after discharge. Rest is essential — avoid strenuous activity and wear your supportive sports bra at all times.
Weeks 2–3
Most patients return to desk-based tasks and light work. Gentle movement is encouraged; avoid lifting or reaching overhead.
Week 4
Return to moderately physical work. Swelling and bruising continue to subside as your new breast shape begins to settle.
Week 6
Return to exercise and heavy physical activity is typically approved at 6 weeks. Final results continue to refine over the following months.
EXPECTED OUTCOMES
With careful surgical planning, the combination of implant removal and breast lift delivers results that feel natural, proportionate, and lasting.
WHY CHOOSE THIS
Combining removal with a lift means a single anaesthetic, one recovery, and a comprehensively rejuvenated outcome.
A simultaneous lift reshapes and elevates breast tissue, preventing the deflated appearance that can follow removal alone.
Whether you are dealing with capsular contracture, BII, or BIA-ALCL, removal addresses the root cause and provides lasting relief.
Every plan is individualised — whether you need en-bloc removal, fat transfer, or mastopexy, the approach is designed around your anatomy and goals.
