Your body evolves, and so do your goals. Whether for comfort, health, or a more natural look, breast implant removal offers the freedom to realign your appearance with who you are today.
Over time, implants may no longer feel in harmony with your body.
Dr. Adel Quttainah performs breast implant removal in Dubai with precision, care, and artistry to help you restore balance and confidence naturally.
Need for Breast Implant Removal
Breast implants are not meant for a lifetime. Many women consider removal or exchange after 10–15 years, or earlier if concerns arise.
Common reasons include:
- Capsular contracture: tightening of scar tissue that causes pain or distortion in breast appearance.
- Rupture or leak: saline deflation or silicone gel changes.
- Shifting or malposition: asymmetry, rippling, or visibility.
- Lifestyle and preference changes: desire for a more natural shape, increased physical activity, or evolving personal goals.
- Breast changes over time: age, pregnancy, and breastfeeding can alter how implants sit and look.
If you’re searching for “breast implant removal surgery near me,” you likely want clear options and an honest discussion about shape, volume, and scars after removal. Dr. Quttainah will make you understand the details about the requirements of this surgery.
Procedure
The breast implant removal surgery in Dubai follows a series of planned steps to ensure comfort, precision, and safety.
1. Anesthesia
Most procedures are performed under general anesthesia, allowing you to remain asleep and pain-free. Painkiller medications are also administered during and after the surgery for a smooth recovery.
2. Skin Preparation
Before surgery, an assistant or nurse cleans the chest area with antibacterial solutions to minimize infection risk and prepare the surgical sites.
3. Making the Incision
Dr. Quttainah believes in creating discreet incisions to access the implants. The incision location depends on your previous surgery and any scar tissue present. It is commonly placed under the breast fold or around the areola for minimal visibility.
4. Removal of Implant and Capsule
A natural tissue capsule forms around implants over time. Depending on your case, Dr. Quttainah may remove the implant alone, perform a partial capsulectomy, or a complete capsulectomy if tightening scar tissue (capsular contracture) is present. The approach is personalized to relieve discomfort and restore a natural contour.
5. Incision Closure
Once removal is complete, the incisions are closed using fine sutures or medical-grade adhesive. Dressings or compression bandages are applied to protect the area, and in some cases, small drains are temporarily placed to prevent fluid buildup.
Recovery
In the initial recovery phase, expect swelling, tightness, and limited upper-body movement.
- Days 1–7: Rest, manage discomfort as directed; short walks are encouraged.
- Week 1–2: Many return to desk work; avoid lifting and overhead strain.
- Weeks 3–6: Gradual return to activities and light exercise as advised.
- Months 2–6: Ongoing shape refinement as swelling settles; scars mature over 12–18 months.
After the surgery, you will receive clear instructions on wound care, bathing, garment use, pain control, and when to resume specific activities.
Always consult the surgeon if pain/swelling worsens or unusual symptoms occur.
Risks Involved
All surgeries carry some risks. Potential issues after breast implant removal can include:
- Bleeding, infection, seroma (fluid build-up)
- Scarring or changes in nipple sensation
- Asymmetry or contour irregularities
- Anesthesia-related events (nausea, allergic reactions)
- Skin discoloration
Choosing an experienced surgeon, optimizing your health, and following aftercare closely helps in reducing the risks.
