Breast Implant Removal & Alternatives
Removal, exchange, or a natural alternative — decided with you.
Illustrative photography. Not a patient result.
Overview
About the procedure.
Patients choose to remove or replace implants for many reasons, from a change in preference to concerns about older implants. Dr. Kirwan discusses each option honestly, including what to expect for shape and symmetry after removal.
Where appropriate, removal can be combined with a lift or with auto-augmentation using your own tissue to restore a natural, balanced shape without new implants.
A little clarity
Good questions.
Honest answers.
There is no question too small to bring to your consultation.
Ask us a questionWill I meet Dr. Kirwan personally at my consultation?
Yes. Every patient is a VIP. From your first consultation through your last follow-up visit, you see Dr. Kirwan himself at every single appointment. He is available to you before, during, and after your procedure.
Where is surgery performed?
Most procedures are performed under local anesthesia with conscious sedation in Dr. Kirwan’s AAAASF-accredited surgical suite in Norwalk, Connecticut. Patients whose medical history makes office-based surgery unsuitable are treated at Greenwich or Norwalk Hospital on a same-day, ambulatory basis.
How do I know whether I am a candidate?
Candidacy depends on your health, anatomy, and goals, not a specific age. The only way to know for certain is a one-on-one consultation, where your medical history and aesthetic goals are reviewed and the appropriate options are explained.
