Breast Implant Removal Before & After Case 589

The patient chose to pursue breast implant removal in Vancouver due to concerns about the size and weight of her existing implants. She had 332cc textured silicone breast implants placed in a submuscular position in 2008. Over time, she noticed changes that prompted her to seek a procedure to reduce both the volume and the physical impact of her implants.

In her revisional surgery, bilateral breast implant removal was performed alongside a mastopexy, also known as a breast lift. This allowed for the reshaping and lifting of the natural breast tissue after the removal of the cohesive silicone gel implants. The goal was to enhance the patient’s comfort and achieve a breast contour more in line with her preferences.

The before-and-after photos, taken 4 months post-surgery, show a noticeable reduction in breast volume and a more lifted position. The breast lift scar is healing as expected, with redness continuing to fade over time. This approach is common for individuals who no longer wish to keep breast implants and prefer a natural, balanced contour.

Dr. Mathew C. Mosher, MD, guided the patient through each step of the process, focusing on patient education and shared decision-making. As a Royal College-certified plastic surgeon with specialized training in aesthetic procedures, Dr. Mosher offers extensive experience in breast implant removal in Vancouver.
