Breast implant removal in Vienna

Capsular contracture, rupture, aesthetics or a personal decision

For many women, implant removal can be a necessary step to address both aesthetic and medical issues. If you are interested in implant removal, it is important to know that there are many reasons for this procedure. Aesthetic reasons can arise from natural ageing, hormonal fluctuations or major weight gain or loss. But medical reasons such as an infection, a rupture of the implant or capsular contracture can also make removal or exchange of the breast implant necessary.

Capsular contracture can lead to hardening or a change in breast shape and is often associated with pain. If you feel uncomfortable because of a problem implant, implant removal can be the best choice to relieve your discomfort and return your breasts to their natural shape.

The course of a breast implant removal depends on various factors, such as the type of implants, their size and the condition of the breast tissue. In general, the operation can be performed under local or general anaesthesia and takes between 30 and 120 minutes, depending on its complexity.

At the start of the operation, an incision is made to remove the implant from the breast. Depending on the position of the implant, the incision can be made in the breast crease, around the areola or under the arm. The implants can be removed directly from the breast, or the capsule can be removed along with them to ensure that the implant is removed completely. In some cases, it may be necessary to lift or reshape the breast tissue or skin in order to achieve an aesthetic result.

After the implants have been removed, the incisions are carefully stitched and a dressing is applied. In most cases, patients can leave the clinic the same day but need to be careful and take it easy in the days after the operation. Painkillers and antibiotics can be prescribed if needed.

It is important that patients attend regular follow-up examinations after the operation to make sure the breasts are developing healthily and no complications occur. In some cases, a further breast reconstruction or lift may be recommended to achieve an aesthetic result and strengthen the patient's self-confidence.

On the day of your treatment, we ask you to arrive at the clinic at least 4 hours before the operation. This allows you to check in calmly at the private clinic, as in a hotel. After the usual admission procedures, you are taken to your room and the anaesthetist goes through all the details of the anaesthesia with you once more.

Directly before the procedure, you are measured and photographed again, and careful documentation is prepared. You can voice wishes and ask questions at any time. Dr. Handl never operates under time pressure, so the operating time varies with the surgical technique, your anatomy and the effort involved.

After the operation, you spend the first hours in the recovery unit. Experienced nursing staff look after you constantly until you feel fit enough for your own room. Once you are back in your room, you can also receive private visitors.

Breast implant removal costs

The cost of breast implant removal depends on your individual starting point and the extent of the procedure. Whether a simple removal is planned or an additional lift, complete capsule removal or reconstruction is needed – each procedure involves different medical requirements. The type of anaesthesia, the duration of the operation, an inpatient or outpatient stay and the extent of aftercare also play a role in the price.

In this conversation, your personal situation is analysed precisely, and you receive a detailed treatment and cost plan that lists all services transparently.
