Breast Implant Removal in Seoul | Gangnam Arc Plastic Surgery Clinic & Cost

What is Breast Implant Removal?

Breast implant removal, or explant surgery, is a procedure to remove breast implants for medical, aesthetic, or personal reasons. This surgery may also involve a breast lift or fat grafting to restore natural breast shape and firmness.

Common reasons for breast implant removal include:

• Desire for a more natural breast size
• Capsular contracture (hardened scar tissue around implants)
• Implant rupture or leakage
• Breast pain or discomfort
• Concerns about implant-related health issues
• Aesthetic dissatisfaction with implant appearance

Dr. Kwon at Arc Plastic Surgery Clinic specializes in safe and effective implant removal, ensuring optimal results tailored to each patient’s needs.

Am I a Good Candidate for Breast Implant Removal?

You may be a good candidate if:

• You want to remove your breast implants for personal or health reasons
• You experience discomfort, pain, or complications from implants
• You are concerned about breast implant illness (BII) or rupture
• You want to replace old implants with new ones
• You seek a natural breast shape after removal
• A consultation with Dr. Kwon will determine the best approach based on your breast condition and desired outcome.

Breast Implant Removal Procedure

Breast implant removal is performed under general anesthesia and typically takes 1–3 hours. The surgical method depends on the patient’s condition and goals.

Common Surgical Techniques:

• Simple Implant Removal: Removing implants without additional procedures
• Capsulectomy: Removing the implant and surrounding scar tissue (capsule)
• En Bloc Removal: Removing the implant and capsule together in one piece
• Implant Removal with Breast Lift: Lifting and reshaping the breast for a natural contour
• Fat Grafting: Using the patient’s fat to restore volume after implant removal

Dr. Kwon carefully tailors the surgery to preserve breast aesthetics and minimize scarring.



Recovery and Aftercare

• Swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort for 1–2 weeks
• Compression garments should be worn for support
• Most patients return to daily activities within 7–10 days
• Strenuous exercise should be avoided for 4–6 weeks
• Final breast shape settles over 3–6 months

Regular follow-ups at Arc Plastic Surgery Clinic ensure smooth healing and natural-looking results.
