where pain or physical abnormalities occur, the implants are removed, and if necessary, replaced with other implants.

VIEW Case-by-Case
Breast Implant Removal

Examples of breast implant removal cases performed after thorough breast examinations.

CASE 01

Typical Capsular Contracture

CASE: A thickened capsule is observed along the front
surface of the implant and the implant surface appears severely irregular and the pocket has contracted

Symptoms: The breast feels firm overall, and patients may experience occasional pain

CASE 02

A Finding of Capsular Contracture

CASE: A thickened capsule is observed along the front surface
of the implant and the implant surface appears severely
irregular and the pocket has contracted

Symptoms: The breast feels firm overall, and patients may
experience occasional pain

CASE 03

Implant Flipping

CASE: The implant’s patch structure (located on the base
of the implant) is visible on ultrasound, which is abnormal
and indicates the implant has flipped

Symptoms: In women with thin breast tissue (especially in the
subcutaneous fat layer), abnormalities in breast shape
and feel may be noticeable

CASE 04

Saline Implant Rupture

CASE: The saline solution has leaked and been
completely absorbed by the body

Symptoms: Clinically, the patient may notice a sudden
decrease in breast size

CASE 05

Cohesive Gel Implant Rupture

CASE: Ultrasound imaging shows the typical rupture pattern
of cohesive gel implants, with a “snowstorm appearance”
(hazy or cloudy findings) clearly observed at the implant site

Symptoms: Clinically, the implant may suddenly feel softer,
but in most cases, patients do not experience
any noticeable symptoms

CASE 06

Seroma Formation

CASE: A large amount of fluid ( seroma ) appears as a dark area
surrounding the implant on imaging Delayed seroma refers
to the sudden accumulation of fluid around the implant
occurring more than 1 year after breast augmentation surgery

Symptoms: Clinically, patients may experience significant breast
swelling, along with symptoms such as warmth or pain
