In general, the cost of breast implant removal surgery ranges from 5,000 to 10,000 yuan. The price varies depending on multiple factors, including the complexity of the surgery and the geographical location. Typically, higher surgical complexity corresponds to increased costs. Additionally, if complications such as infection or capsular contracture are discovered during surgery, additional treatments may be required, which could also affect the total cost.

When considering breast implant removal surgery, it is advisable to first consult with a qualified plastic surgeon, undergo a detailed examination, and determine the surgical plan and estimated costs. To ensure the safety and effectiveness of the procedure, it is recommended to choose a reputable medical facility and an accredited surgeon.

Regarding costs, patients can choose a surgical method and hospital that suits their financial situation and needs. Postoperatively, it is important to rest adequately, follow proper wound care protocols, and attend regular follow-up appointments to promote healing and prevent complications.
