Changing Lifestyle
The most common reason women decide to remove their implants is a change in their lifestyle priorities. While implants may be a priority at an earlier stage in life, they can become uncomfortable later on. Many women decide that being voluptuous is not as important as being comfortable.
Unhappy about breast shape and feel
Another common reason is that with time, implants may shift position. Although most implants remain stable, a few can undergo changes. These changes lead to asymmetries and unattractive contours. Mostly commonly, the breast implant moves into a higher position with respect to the nipple. Implants may also encapsulate with time. This results in a hard implant that may be uncomfortable or even painful.
Implant Malfunction
Some women find out after a yearly screening mammogram or ultrasound that the implant may be ruptured. In this case, the implant may not change shape appreciably. Nonetheless, it is recommended they be removed. In the case of saline implants, a rupture will lead to flattening of the breast as the saline is absorbed.
Concerns about implant safety
Some women may become concerned about the safety of breast implants. A few may even feel a variety of symptoms that attribute to their implants. These symptoms have been termed breast implant illness.
Other concerns include risks associated with textured implants. A few of these implants have been associated with an extremely rare lymphoma. This is called breast implant associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma (BIA-ALCL ). The treatment is removal and capsulectomy.
