Breast Implant Removal

When life changes, so can your vision of beauty. Whether you’re seeking a slimmer silhouette, experiencing discomfort, or simply ready for a fresh start, Dr. Stewart Wang offers safe, attentive breast implant removal procedures at Wang Plastic Surgery & Med Spa.
Why Some Women Opt for Implant Removal
  • Lifestyle or aesthetic shift – your goals and wardrobe preferences have evolved.
  • Implant‑related concerns such as capsular contracture, rupture/deflation, rippling, or hardening.
  • Health considerations like breast implant illness (BII) symptoms or anxiety about implant‑associated issues (e.g., BIA‑ALCL).
  • Maintenance timeline – saline and silicone devices are not designed to last forever, and many patients opt for replacement or removal after 10–15 years.
Am I a Candidate?
Healthy adult women who are dissatisfied with their current implants or advised by a physician to remove them are typically good candidates. Dr. Wang will review your medical history, imaging, and aesthetic goals during a one‑on‑one consultation at any of our offices in Pasadena, Upland, Glendora, or Santa Ana.
Dr. Wang’s 4C Approach
Dr. Wang’s care philosophy centers on:
  1. Certification – board‑certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery.
  2. Cutting‑Edge Technique – mastery of advanced surgical and laser technology.
  3. Compassion – listening to understand your priorities.
  4. Commitment – meticulous planning and follow‑through for natural, lasting results.
Recovery & Results
  • Day of surgery: Return home with a light dressing; most patients feel ready to move around the house the next day.
  • 1 week: Swelling and bruising typically picks at 72 hours, then steadily improve. Desk‑type work often resumes.
  • 3–6 weeks: Resume exercise and heavy lifting as approved.
  • 3–6 months: Scar maturation and final breast shape settle.
Dr. Wang provides detailed after‑care instructions, 24/7 access to our nursing team, and scheduled follow‑ups to track healing. We have a comprehensive scar reduction management program tailored to your needs.
Will my breasts look deflated after removal?
Every body responds differently. Skin elasticity, implant size, and length of placement play roles. Many women are pleasantly surprised; others choose a lift or fat transfer at the same time for optimal contour.
Is en bloc removal always possible?
When the capsule is thin or firmly adherent to surrounding structures, partial capsulectomy may be safer. Dr. Wang will discuss realistic options during your consultation.
How much does breast implant removal cost?
Fees vary with surgical time, anesthesia needs, and whether additional procedures are combined. A personalized fee quote is provided after physical assessment.
