Breast Implant Removal in Washington DC
Removing Breast Implants
Some women choose to have their breast implants removed. A breast implant removal takes the implants out and leave you with a beautiful, natural looking result. This differs from a breast implant revision, which either enlarges or decreases the size of the implants or changes something about your breast augmentation.
There are several removal options depending on your unique situation if you have capsular contracture and need a capsulectomy along with removing the breast implants. A physical exam or radiological review will help Dr. Feledy determine how best to help you.
“I got breast implants in the early 90s. After many years I decided I wanted a change and have them removed. Dr. Feledy helped me get them removed. He is so understanding and I felt like he knew exactly what I needed. He made sure the results on my breast implant removal looked great.” —J.S.*
Breast Implant Removal FAQs
1) Why do some get a breast implant removal surgery?
Having breast implants removed may be done for a number of reasons and each one is a personal decision:
- Simply doesn't want breast implants anymore or is tired of the look
- Reached an age where having breast implants no longer makes sense to them
- A physical complication like capsular contracture has occurred

Whatever the reason, Dr. Feledy can help understand your reasons. The key to a breast implant removal is getting the best and most natural looking result. Dr. Feledy has decades of experience performing breast implant removals.
2) Are there any complications in a breast implant removal?
One factor Dr. Feledy considers when performing a breast implant removal surgery is removing any leaking or ruptured breast implant residue. He will take all necessary actions to get rid of any leaked material when doing the breast implant removal.
3) Preparing for your breast implant removal surgery
To help you prepare for and understand what to expect from removing breast implants, Dr. Feledy will explain the process in detail during your personal consultation and pre-surgery appointments. He will evaluate your specific and unique needs and make recommendations based on your situation. Dr. Feledy will ensure that you understand what to expect during and after the procedure, as well as the end result of surgery.
4) What to expect after your implant removal surgery
You will be home recovering for the first two days following your breast implant removal surgery. You'll wear a surgery bra with adjustable straps for comfort. Dr. Feledy can prescribe pain medication, which may help you during your recovery. After a few days, many people are able to walk around without medication. However, you absolutely must not engage in exercise, heavy lifting, or strenuous activities for at least three weeks after surgery. Sometimes, more time is needed. For those returning to work, expect to be fatigued more easily and feel sore by the end of the day.
During your healing period, your breasts may have lumpy areas where sutures are located. Do not be alarmed, as this is common for up to two months following surgery. The sutures are absorbed into the body and lumps will disappear. Following the surgery, your breasts will need up to eight weeks to heal fully and present their final shape. Dr. Feledy and his team will provide further information about your activity during this time.
