Breast Implant Removal

The thought of removing your breast implants may be daunting, but there are countless women who have chosen to undergo breast implant removal as an option after years of having breast implants. The two main reasons to undergo breast implant removal include capsular contracture and recurrent breast asymmetry that cannot be corrected with conventional treatments. For the most part, breast implant removal can help reestablish normalcy in your breasts, even after many years of having breast implants. 



Kare Plastic Surgery in Beirut has an established record of excellence in the management of complex breast revisions in Beirut and the United States. Our surgeons are experts in the management of capsular contracture, breast asymmetry, recurrent breast deformities, synmastia, and breast implant rippling and malposition. 

Breast implant malposition is a correctable problem in plastic surgery. This issue occurs when a breast implant positions itself in a location that makes it look unnatural and asymmetric when compared to the contralateral breast. This can occur because of blunt trauma after surgery, repeated strenuous activity, capsular contracture, breast implant migration, or implant displacement from a submuscular to a subglandular position. We often hear the terms “bottoming out” when the implant slips below the inframammary fold, “riding high” when the breast implant is displaced higher on the chest wall, “synmastia” when the breast implants begin to connect in the midline, and “malposition” when the breast implants look asymmetric and unnatural. Breast implant malposition is an issue that can be corrected with a surgical procedure. Dr. Raffy Karamanoukian performs all aspects of breast implant malposition correction. He is an experienced surgeon, with high levels of aesthetic judgement, with meticulous attention to detail.
