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.

Healthy adult women who are dissatisfied with their current implants or advised by a physician to remove them are typically good candidates.
