Disease description:

My girlfriend previously underwent breast augmentation surgery, during which implants were placed. However, we are now planning to have a child and are concerned that the implants might affect pregnancy. Could you please advise how breast implants can be removed?

Hello, if you plan to have children, you may visit a hospital to have the breast implants removed. The surgeon will make an incision along the lateral aspect of the breast and then remove the implants before closing the incision with sutures. Implant removal can only be performed surgically. After implant removal, minor contour irregularities or slight deformities in the chest area may occur; therefore, proper postoperative care is essential. I hope this information is helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
