Considering Breast Implant Removal?

Considering Breast Implant Removal?

Considering Breast Implant Removal?

July 10, 2013

In the last few years, I have seen an upswing in calls for breast implant removal.  And while the bulk of my practice involves putting breast implants in, I am now performing a fair amount of surgeries to remove breast implants.  And while the reasons for removal vary among my patients, they have all done it for very specific reasons and for reasons that I thought were very appropriate.

“Dr. Buford has been nothing but a pleasure to work with through the process of my implant removal surgery. When I realized I no longer wanted or needed my implants, I began making calls to Denver surgeons and Dr. Buford was the first to really listen to my concerns and needs. Most Doctors I spoke with made my surgery seem less important than typical implant procedures, but Dr. Buford understood that even my lack of too large implants would still be a representation of his work. I decided to remove my implants because they were too large, uncomfortable and I felt they were a distraction in my career.

I would recommend Dr. Buford to anyone looking to improve their physical appearance through surgery because he is genuine, caring, smart, and courteous. He uses discretion in his decision making and has a caring staff. Follow up appointments felt like a comfortable visit with friends.”

I encourage you to check out this brief video to learn more about the process and what you can expect.  In addition, I will be launching a specific webpage on this site in the coming weeks to talk specifically about the process.

I hope this helps!

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

Breast implants are not lifetime devices. The longer patients have them, the greater the chance they will develop complications, which may require more surgery. Breast implants have been associated with a cancer of the immune system called breast implant–associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma (BIA-ALCL). Some patients have died from BIA-ALCL. Patients have also reported a variety of systemic symptoms such as joint pain, muscle aches, confusion, chronic fatigue, autoimmune diseases, and others.

Natrelle® Breast Implants are for breast augmentation and revision surgery in women at least 22 years old for silicone-filled implants and women at least 18 years old for saline-filled implants.

You should not get breast implants if you currently have an active infection, untreated breast cancer or precancer, or are pregnant or nursing. Tell your doctor about any conditions you have, any medications you are taking, and any planned cancer treatments. Breast implantation is likely not a one-time surgery.

Having implants removed and not replaced may lead to permanent cosmetic changes of the breasts. Breast implants may affect breastfeeding. Gel implants may rupture without symptoms, so periodic imaging after surgery is recommended.

Key complications are reoperation, implant removal, implant rupture, implant deflation with saline-filled implants, and severe capsular contracture.

Talk to your doctor for more information.

The use of Natrelle® Breast Implants is restricted to licensed physicians who provide information to patients about the risks and benefits of breast implant surgery.
