If a patient is unhappy with the results of their breast augmentation plastic surgery or develops implant complications, they may need breast implant removal surgery.

At the time of the initial consultation, the surgeon will inform the patient on various aspects of the breast implant removal surgery, including its approximate costs.

Khan Plastic Surgery, led by prudent board certified female plastic surgeon Dr. Farah Naz Khan, provides breast implant removal to patients in Dallas, Texas, and surrounding communities in the majestic Lone Star State.

Cost Variations

Breast implant removal costs can vary as depending on the complexity and length of the surgery. Implant removal surgery may sometimes be more complex than the primary breast augmentation procedure, and as a result, may cost more than the primary surgery.

If there was an error on the part of the surgeon, they might perform the implant removal surgery at no cost. The patient should review their practice policy on this aspect for more clarity before they go ahead with a breast implant procedure.

The cost of the implant removal procedure will also depend on whether the patient seeks an implant replacement along with the removal. Breast implant removal (without replacement) usually involves a breast lift which will increase the procedure costs.

If the patient seeks an implant replacement, the procedure will be relatively simpler but will involve the cost of the new implants.

Breast Implant Removal with Lift

Over time, breast implants can stretch the skin tissue leading to elasticity loss. For patients choosing implant removal at a later stage, a breast lift cosmetic surgery may be necessary.

Only an experienced plastic surgeon should perform this procedure for desirable outcomes after the implant removal. In case a breast removal procedure is done along with a breast lift, the surgeon’s fee, surgical facility costs, and recovery costs may be slightly higher.

Other Financial Factors

Breast implant removal costs may differ between practices depending on their geographical location. The real estate and overhead costs are typically higher in main urban centers, popular tourist destinations, and coastal cities. In these locations, the average costs of goods and services, including plastic surgery costs, will usually be higher.

The breast implant removal surgery will include the charges of an anesthesiologist or anesthetic nurse if the procedure is performed under general anesthesia. The credentials and experience of the professionals will determine the charges.

The implant removal procedure may take place at a hospital, an accredited surgical center, or a private surgical suite. Each venue will have associated costs and benefits.

The breast implant removal surgery will also include pre and post-operative expenses such as medical exams, mammograms, prescription drugs, follow-up consultations, and surgical accessories. These seemingly minor expenses can add up to a significant sum and should be a part of the cost estimate.

Insurance and Financing

Breast implant removal is elective plastic surgery and patients will likely not receive insurance coverage for this procedure. Patients can consider financing options such as medical care financing firms, bank loans, credit cards, or private loans.

A woman may consider breast implant removal surgery at any stage after the breast augmentation plastic surgery due to cosmetic, emotional, or health reasons. When seeking a breast implant removal procedure, the woman should be in good health and not pregnant or nursing.

The accomplished Khan Plastic Surgery, led by judicious board certified female plastic surgeon Dr. Farah Naz Khan, provides breast implant removal to patients in Dallas, Texas, and other neighborhoods and suburbs in this outstanding part of the nation.

Removal due to Incorrect Implants

The primary breast augmentation cosmetic surgery may not always create the outcomes that a patient desires. This may happen due to various reasons such as incorrect implant size, type, or shape.

Following the implant surgery (in a rare case) the woman may feel that she was happier with her natural breast shape, or that the new larger breasts are hindering her ability to perform certain activities.

Women with such issues may make suitable candidates for breast implant removal surgery. Sometimes the woman may not be satisfied with the size, type, or shape of her implants.

She may find the implants to be excessively large or too small, or the shape or profile may be unsuitable. In these types of cases, the woman may be an ideal candidate for breast implant removal surgery as well. After the implant removal, the patient may sometimes choose to get new, more desirable implants.

The FDA had approved silicone breast implants a few years after they approved saline implants. But today they are more popular than saline implants due to their superior touch and feel. Some patients may seek the removal of saline implants and the replacement of these with silicone implants.

Surgical Complications Leading to Removal

Sometimes a woman may experience complications associated with breast implants after their breast augmentation surgery. This may occur at any stage after the surgery.

In the hands of an experienced plastic surgeon, the risk of complications is significantly minimized. However, complications may still occur even many years after the primary procedure.

Capsular contracture happens when the scar tissue surrounding the implant become tighter. In such cases, the patient will need to undergo scar tissue or implant removal surgery.

They may also choose an implant replacement procedure after the removal. Implants may rupture, leak, or deflate due to natural wear and tear or defects in the implant.

A patient may experience implant rippling due to the thinning of the skin across the breast or hormonal changes. At times, the breast implant may move from their original position to create a lopsided appearance. These kinds of conditions may require the patient to undergo implant removal surgery.

Other Candidates for Implant Removal

Other considerations may make some women candidates for breast removal surgery. A cancer diagnosis may require a woman to undergo breast implant removal to be able to receive the cancer treatment more effectively. Changes in lifestyle or aesthetic preferences may also cause some women to seek breast implant removal surgery.

Rhinoplasty cosmetic surgery can be used to treat enlarged turbinates. Turbinates are thin, long bones that protrude outwards from the sides of the septum within the nasal cavity. These turbinates appear at tiny, curled knobs at the ends.

There are three kinds of turbinates. Superior turbinates are located in the upper portion of the nose between the nose and eyes. Middle turbinates are found in the middle portion of the nose while inferior turbinates lay just above the nostrils.

During the pre-operative consultation, the surgeon will assess the patient’s condition and determine if they are a candidate for enlarged turbinates surgery.

Turbinate Rhinoplasty

Turbinate rhinoplasty helps address turbinates that have become swollen due to allergies or irritants. Sometimes, a turbinate may become constricted because a deviated septum pushes it to one side.

As a result, the turbinate in the other airway in the nose becomes bigger to compensate for the constricted turbinate. This leads to further breathing problems.

Some surgeons prefer treating enlarged turbinates by removing tissue to reduce their size while others do not eliminate any tissue. Rather, these surgeons break the turbinates in the outward direction.

Turbinates moisten and warm the air that enters the nasal airways facilitating correct breathing. At times, turbinate removal leads to a painful condition called atrophic rhinitis.

But fracturing a turbinate outwards and away from the septum and setting it in place helps create a larger passageway. This enhances the process of breathing and enables the turbinates to function properly.

Surgical Procedure

Various surgical techniques can help reduce turbinate size. Turbinate resection and turbinate reduction is the surgical procedure to shrink enlarged turbinates.

The patient can undergo this procedure in the surgeon’s office or an operating room. In general, septoplasty and turbinate resection are undertaken together.

The complete removal of a turbinate can adversely impact the overall function of the turbinates leading to a very crusty and dry nose. Sometimes, the turbinate tissue re-grows after the plastic surgery, which may require another procedure. This is still a better option in comparison to full turbinate removal.

Some of the techniques reduce the turbinate size without involving the elimination of turbinate tissue or bone. These techniques include coblation, cauterization, and radiofrequency reduction among others.

These procedures involve warming a portion of the turbinate via a specialized device. In some time, the turbinate will constrict due to scar tissue formation because of the process of heating.

Alternate procedures can help remove a portion of the turbinate. It is crucial to allow sufficient turbinate to remain in the nose in such procedures. This will enable the remaining turbinate to warm and moisten the air entering the nose.

Submucosal resection is a standard technique to treated enlarged turbinates. This method involves leaving behind the turbinate lining while the turbinate “stuffing” is taken out.

Rhinoplasty cosmetic surgery can be used to correct the common problem of a deviated septum. The surgeon will determine the exact nature and extent of the deviated septum before creating a customized surgical plan to correct it.

What is Septum Deviation?

The septum bifurcates the nasal cavity into two narrow airways starting at the upper nasal area where it connects to the nostrils. The septum consists of various bone and cartilage sections. The lower part of the septum lies on the anterior nasal spine. This is a supportive bone that can be felt in the region where the nose connects to the upper lip.

Septum deviation is the development or shifting of the septum to one side of the nasal cavity rather than dividing it into two identical airways. The septum may bend to one side developing into an S-shape or bend in the shape of a bow creating a C-shape. These types of deviated septum obstruct airflow slowly damaging the fragile nasal tissues.

The surgeon will reshape either the cartilaginous lower portion of the nose or the bony upper portion of the septum located atop the nose. At times, the septum may move off the anterior spine in a condition known as a caudal septal deviation. For such patients, the surgeon will correct the movement of the septum and relocate its base to the anterior nasal spine.

Some individuals may have a deviated septum since birth while others develop it due to a nasal injury. This can make breathing challenging and also cause recurring facial pain and nosebleeds. Rhinoplasty plastic surgery is a proven way to correct a deviated septum.

Septoplasty Procedure

A septoplasty procedure typically takes between 30 and 90 minutes to complete. The time taken for the surgery depends on the complexity of the deviated septum. The surgeon and patient can discuss beforehand if the septoplasty will be performed under local or general anesthesia.

In general, the surgeon will place an incision in one location on the nose to access the septum. After that, they will ease the deviated septum to the right position. They will remove barriers such as cartilage and unwanted bone fragments. Eventually, the surgeon will reposition the mucous membrane.

The patient may require sutures to ensure that the septum and membrane stay in place. At times, using cotton to pack the nose is enough to help the septum and membrane remain in their place.

Recovery

The surgeon will perform septoplasty on an outpatient basis unless a major complication occurs. Therefore, the patient can go home on the day of the procedure itself. The nose will be swollen, painful, and stuffed with cotton to prevent bleeding. The packing will be removed within one or two days after the surgery.
