Breast implant removal surgery in Barcelona—also known as breast explantation—is a procedure increasingly requested by women who wish to remove their implants for various reasons: personal, medical, or aesthetic.
At the Dra. Ana Torres Institute in Barcelona, we accompany each patient individually to offer a safe, harmonious solution tailored to their current needs.
Why do some women decide to have their implants removed?
The reasons that may lead a patient to consider breast implant removal in Barcelona are diverse, and in many cases, they combine physical and emotional factors.
Some of the most frequent reasons include:
· Change in personal preferences: over time, some women prefer a more natural appearance or wish to return to their pre-surgery anatomy.
· Medical reasons: presence of capsular contracture, rupture or wear of the implant, or discomfort resulting from the passing of the years.
· Symptoms associated with “ASIA syndrome” or “breast implant illness”: although a clear link is not always established, some patients choose removal if they suspect that the implants might be related to systemic symptoms.
· Change in life stage: after maternity, breastfeeding, hormonal changes, or lifestyle shifts, some women decide to adapt their body to their “new reality.”
· Medical check-ups: occasionally, following an evaluation by their plastic surgeon, the removal or replacement of the implants is recommended due to aging or deterioration.
Whatever the reason, the decision to remove the implants is just as valid as the decision to place them: the most important thing is that the patient makes an informed choice, feels supported, and is guided by a specialized medical team.
What does breast implant removal surgery in Barcelona consist of?
Breast implant removal in Barcelona is a surgical procedure performed under general anesthesia. During the surgery, the implant is carefully removed, and in some cases, the periprosthetic capsule (tissue that the body naturally generates around the implant) is also removed.
Depending on the patient’s goals, the surgery can be combined with other procedures:
· Mastopexy (breast lift): to improve the shape and firmness of the breast after removal.
· Lipotransfer or autologous fat grafting: allows for natural volume and contouring using the patient’s own fat.
· Implant replacement: if the patient wishes to change the old implants for new ones.
Results and recovery
The final result will depend on the shape and volume of the original breast, the quality of the skin, and whether complementary techniques have been performed. Many women highlight a feeling of lightness and well-being, as well as a body image more aligned with their current stage of life 🙂
The postoperative period is usually faster than that of an initial breast augmentation. Relative rest is recommended during the first few days, as well as avoiding physical exertion and following medical instructions regarding the use of a post-surgical bra and follow-up appointments.
In most cases, patients can return to their professional life in one or two weeks, depending on the type of procedure and job position.
A personal decision that requires professional guidance
In recent times, public figures such as actress Alyssa Milano have shared their decision to remove their implants, generating conversation around this procedure. However, it is important to emphasize that every woman has a different story, and the choice to place or remove implants should be based on personal and medical criteria, without judgment or external pressure.
Therefore, at the Dra. Ana Torres Institute, we believe that comprehensive guidance is key:
A rigorous medical evaluation, a study of breast health and the condition of the prostheses, and active listening to understand the motivations and expectations of each patient would be necessary to make the best decision regarding breast implant removal in Barcelona.
When to consult with a plastic surgeon?
If you notice changes in the shape or consistency of the breast, discomfort, or if you simply feel that your implants “no longer fit you,” it is time to request an evaluation.
In our consultation, Dr. Ana Torres will evaluate the condition of the implants and explain the different options to you: from simple removal to combined surgeries to maintain a natural and harmonious aesthetic.
