While breast augmentation remains popular, explant surgery is becoming increasingly common as individuals reevaluate their health, lifestyle, and body image goals. Explore some of the most common reasons women choose to remove their implants.

At the Centre for Aesthetic + Reconstructive Surgery in East Greenwich, RI, Dr. Andrea Doyle offers a compassionate, patient-centered approach to breast implant removal, helping women feel confident and supported throughout their aesthetic journey. Known for her artistic eye and expertise in breast surgery, Dr. Doyle customizes every procedure to reflect each patient’s body and natural beauty.

Aesthetic Changes or Dissatisfaction

As bodies age and life changes occur, some women feel their implants no longer suit their appearance or lifestyle. They may want a more natural look, experience sagging, or think that their implants are too large.

Lifestyle and Comfort

High-impact activities, aging, or changes in fitness levels can make implants feel uncomfortable or restrictive. Some women remove them to return to a more active or minimal-maintenance lifestyle.

Desire for Natural Wellness

With an increasing focus on holistic health, some individuals are removing implants as part of a larger shift toward natural living. The decision often stems from a desire to align their appearance with their inner wellness journey.

Breast Implant Illness (BII)

Some women report a range of symptoms—such as fatigue, joint pain, brain fog, and hair loss—that they believe are connected to their implants. While research is ongoing, the term Breast Implant Illness (BII) has gained recognition, and many women experience relief after removal.

Rupture or Capsular Contracture

Implants can rupture or develop complications over time, such as capsular contracture, where scar tissue hardens around the implant, causing pain or distortion. In these cases, removal may be necessary for health and comfort.
