Breast implant removal plastic surgery offers a solution to women who develop implant complications, are unhappy with the outcomes of the breast augmentation surgery, or have undergone a change in their aesthetic preferences since the primary implant surgery.

In comparison to the primary implant surgery, breast implant removal can be more complicated. This makes it vital for a patient to select a highly experienced and well-trained surgeon for this surgery.

Board certified female plastic surgeon Dr. Farah Naz Khan provides breast implant removal surgery to patients in Dallas, Texas and surrounding communities and towns in the poignant Lone Star State.

What to Expect during the Surgery?

The breast implant removal process will begin with the surgeon evaluating the reason for the implant complications and devising an individualized surgical plan.

In many cases, the plastic surgeon may advise the patient to undergo a breast lift surgery with the implant removal procedure. In cases where the implants have stretched the breast skin over a long duration, a breast lift can restore tauter, younger looking breasts.

Breast implant removal is usually performed as an outpatient surgery and the patient may receive intravenous sedation or general anesthesia. The surgeon will access the implant by placing an incision in the same location where the primary incisions were made. This helps minimize new scarring. The scar tissue is usually excised at the time of the implant removal.

Saline Implants Removal

The surgeon will carefully examine the original implant and surrounding tissue for inflammation, rupture, leakage, or infection prior to the cosmetic surgery. Saline implants comprise a saline solution which is entirely safe for the body. The surgeon may deflate the implant prior to taking it out to make the procedure less invasive.

After removing the implant, the surgeon will typically eliminate the scar tissue that has developed due to the primary surgery. In case the patient chooses to undergo implant replacement with new implants, this will be undertaken at the same time as well.

At times, the implant removal may be performed with a breast lift procedure. Saline implant removal typically takes under an hour. However, the patient will have to remain at the surgical facility under observation for a few hours.

Silicone Implants Removal

For silicone implant removal, the plastic surgeon will evaluate the implant for signs of damage or rupture prior to removing it. This helps minimize any risks related to silicone implant removal.

The removal procedure may be less complicated in case the implant’s outer shell is textured or foam covered. Sometimes the surgeon will need to remove the surrounding muscle and tissue in addition to the implant.

The time taken to perform the silicone implant removal surgery depends on whether the patient is undergoing other surgeries such as implant replacement, scar revision, or breast lift simultaneously with the implant removal.

The incision size for silicone implant removal is relatively larger than in the case of saline implants as the deflation of the implant is not possible. The recovery period in the case of saline as well as silicone implant removal is around one week.

Breast surgery is an intricate plastic surgery procedure. The breast surgeon will need to ensure that the symmetry and proportion of the breasts are improved during this procedure to offer the patient simultaneously safe and excellent results.

It is vital for patients to select a cosmetic surgeon carefully. Undergoing breast surgery in the hands of an unqualified or inexperienced surgeon could lead to unwanted outcomes, complications, and further expenditure on a revisions surgery.

The patient should be mindful of several aspects when choosing a plastic surgeon.

In case the patient seeks a specific breast procedure or surgical technique, they should choose a surgeon who is an expert in these specific procedures. Successful board certified female plastic surgeon Dr. Farah Naz Khan provides breast surgery to patients in Dallas, Texas and surrounding locations and towns in this part of the US.

Why Choose a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon?

The successful Dr. Khan is board certified by the renowned American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS). The ABPS is the single plastic surgery board that the prestigious American Board of Medical Specialties recognizes. The board has a strict selection process and certifies only a small number of surgeons each year.

Upon selecting a board certified surgeon, a patient can be assured that the surgeon would have undergone a specific minimum number of years of training in plastic surgery.

ABPS certified plastic surgeons usually invest significantly in best practices and quality standards, adopt the latest surgical techniques, pursue continuing education, and follow the latest safety protocols providing patients safe and beautiful results.

Focus on Customization

The dependable Dr. Khan strongly believes in individualizing procedures such as breast cosmetic surgery to address the unique requirements of the patient. Every patient has a different anatomy. The surgeon should keep in mind the patient’s unique anatomy and personal goals while devising a breast surgery plan.

Dr. Khan does not follow an off-the-rack or cookie-cutter approach to surgery spending time to evaluate the patient’s health condition, breast structure, and cosmetic desires. She will then develop a customized and comprehensive surgical plan based on this information.

The astute Dr. Khan strikes a fine balance between the principles of art and science to create outcomes that are not only cosmetically beautiful but also safe and sustainable.

Personal Qualities and Attitude

The cosmetic outcomes and patient safety are crucial considerations in breast surgery. But it is also essential that the patient feels at ease with their surgeon. Undergoing breast plastic surgery is a personal journey for the patient.

This makes it important for the woman to choose a surgeon who respects her privacy and cosmetic desires. At the time of the pre-op consultation, the surgeon should understand from the patient the exact outcomes they seek from the breast surgery.

In case the patient feels that the doctor is adopting a standard approach instead of accounting for their unique needs, she may want to reconsider her choice of cosmetic surgeon. On top of this, a responsible surgeon will never put pressure on the patient to receive a more invasive surgery than she actually requires.

Breast cosmetic surgery can modify the shape and size of breasts, or give them a slight lift according to the patient’s aesthetic choices. Some patients may require breast reconstruction surgery after a mastectomy.

The surgeon will explain the various steps involved in breast surgery during the pre-op consultation. When patients understand more about the procedure, they usually feel more confident and reassured.

Board certified female plastic surgeon Dr. Farah Naz Khan provides breast surgery to patients in Dallas, Texas and surrounding communities.

Anesthesia

In most cases, the plastic surgeon undertakes the breast surgery with the patient under general anesthesia. The anesthesiologist will make the patient sleep and help them remain unconscious throughout the procedure using either intravenous (IV) or inhaled sedation. The patient will be taken out of anesthesia after the surgery is complete.

Breast Augmentation

The breast augmentation procedure involves the placement of implants over or beneath the pectoralis chest muscle. The surgeon will place an incision in the armpit (axilla), lower breast, or areola. Breast implant surgery may involve the use of endoscopes.

A breast implant is a silicone shell containing saline (a salt water solution) or silicone gel. A woman may determine her ideal size by trying on trial implants.

At present, saline-filled implants and silicone gel implants do not have any usage restrictions, except for the minimum age requirements as specified by the FDA.

Breast Reduction

Breast reduction plastic surgery, also known as reduction mammoplasty, is a procedure that removes excess fat, skin, and glandular tissue. Scarring can be significant in this type of procedure. But the nipple-areola and normal breast sensation, and milk production are typically unaffected.

Potential side effects include lumpiness and pain from scar tissue and the inability to breastfeed. This breast surgery decreases the breast size and contour but preserves its sensation and function. Women usually report a dramatic improvement in their function following breast reduction.

Breast Lift

Some women may have skin that is not strong enough to support the breast weight causing the breasts to become saggy. In this condition, known as ptosis, there is excessive skin in comparison to breast tissue. The excess skin must be removed to perform a breast lift or mastopexy.

Breast Reconstruction

A breast reconstruction surgery aims to restore the shape, size, and contour of the breast(s). Furthermore, the nipple-areola area is also recreated. The breast loses normal sensation and the ability to breastfeed when the milk glands and ducts, or sensory nerves have been excised or seriously damaged.

In this surgery, the volume and contour of the breast can be restored using the patient’s own tissue or implants. In case an implant is placed, it is sized to match the remaining breast. The woman’s own tissue can also be used to recreate the breast.

Closing the Incisions

The surgeon will cautiously seal the incisions after the breast surgery. Some surgeons use traditional sutures to close the incisions while other use absorbable ones. The surgeon may place temporary drain tubes in the incision areas for a few days to accumulate excess fluid.

Nose reshaping cosmetic surgery, also known as rhinoplasty, can treat aesthetic problems related to the nose as well as functional issues that may affect an individual’s ability to breathe properly.

This procedure can improve the nose shape and size, making it more proportional to the other facial features. Various nose surgery techniques are available today to address the specific requirements of different patients.

Types of Functional Rhinoplasty

Treating a Deviated Septum

The nasal septum refers to the cartilage and bone that bifurcates the nasal cavity into two identical parts. The septum may bend on one side creating an S-shape, or externally leading to a C-shape.

The area at which the septum bends will determine if the surgeon will reshape the upper bony part of the septum near the top of the nose or the lower cartilaginous area.

At times, the septum may move off the frontal nasal spine in a condition known as a septal deviation. To treat such cases, the surgeon will need to move the septum and realign its base with the frontal nasal spine.

Turbinate Rhinoplasty

This surgery can address turbinates that may have become enlarged due to irritants and allergies. At times, a turbinate may constrict if the deviated septum pushes it to one side.

Consequently, the opposite turbinate becomes enlarged to compensate for the constricted turbinate. This condition may lead to further breathing obstructions but can be corrected with turbinate rhinoplasty.

Nasal Polyps

Nasal polyps also occur due to allergies and other irritants. They are benign growths that develop within the airway of the nose and appear as soft, jelly-like bulbs. To remove these polyps, the surgeon will use a snare instrument to access the nose carefully from within and eliminate the offending polyp.

Types of Cosmetic Rhinoplasty

Correcting the Radix

The bony upper portion of the nose is known as the radix. The cartilage and radix in the nose may be substantial causing a bump. A shallow radix could cause a bump or a depression. The surgeon will reduce the radix by meticulously shaving off small portions.

Straightening a Crooked Nose

In case the patient’s nose is slightly crooked, the surgeon can straighten it by eliminating some amount of bone and cartilage. They may also move tissue to address this condition.

Tip Rotation and Reduction

In case the nose has a poor definition or appears overly defined, it may have an improper rotation. Rotation is the downward or upward turn of the nasal tip. The surgeon will assess the nasal base cautiously while adjusting the tip via cartilage reshaping.

Ethnic Rhinoplasty

People with ethnic characteristics including a broad nose are increasingly considering rhinoplasty plastic surgery. Patients of African and Asian heritage typically seek ethnic rhinoplasty to reduce their nasal width.
