PIP Implant Removal

PIP implants are breast implants made by the French company Poly Implant Prothèse. They were found to use industrial-grade silicone, leading to a higher risk of rupture and leakage compared to other implants.

Signs of rupture or leakage, such as pain, swelling, or changes in breast shape, indicate that removal might be necessary. Imaging tests can confirm the condition of the implants.

During the consultation, the surgeons will review your medical history, perform a physical examination, and recommend imaging tests. A personalized treatment plan will be developed based on your specific needs.

The surgery typically takes 1-3 hours, depending on the complexity of the procedure and whether additional steps, such as a capsulectomy, are required.

PIP implant removal is performed under general anesthesia to ensure patient comfort and safety.

You will need to rest and avoid strenuous activities for several weeks. Pain management, follow-up appointments, and support garments will be part of the recovery process.
