Where can I get my implant removed?

This procedure may be carried out to correct complications or in combination with other procedures. Implants can also be replaced if a patient’s preference over the size and shape of the breasts has changed.

We have never used PIP breast implants at Cadogan Clinic and patients can rest assured that our implants are of the very highest quality.

If you have ever had breast implants at a clinic which may have used PIP implants, our surgeons can discuss surgery with you. We strongly recommend you contact us if you are experiencing any irritation or inflammation in your chest area and think you may have been exposed to PIP implants in the past.

What happens if I get my implant removed?

Breast implant removal is carried out under a general anaesthetic and the procedure will take one to two hours.

The surgeon will cut along the existing scar and remove the implants before re-suturing the site.

Following breast implant removal surgery, a patient will have bandages and sometimes drains on the affected area. Women who have undergone this procedure must wear a support bra or compression garment in order to reduce swelling following surgery.

The results of the breast implant removal surgery will depend upon the size of the implant removed and the quality and quantity of the remaining breast tissue. Sometimes scar tissue will also need to be removed during this procedure.
