Breast Implant Removal Specialist Serving San Gabriel Valley, West Covina, CA

At Shine Cosmetic Surgery, we recognize the decision for breast implant removal is not taken lightly and is often accompanied by concerns about pain and recovery. We want to reassure our clients that while some discomfort is to be expected, the intensity of pain varies greatly from person to person and can be influenced by several factors such as individual pain threshold, surgical technique, type of anesthesia, post-surgical care, and the type and size of previous implants.

Our expert specialists employ innovative techniques to reduce tissue damage and post-operative pain. Additionally, we use local or general anesthesia during the surgery to ensure that our clients do not feel any pain during the procedure itself.

Most of our clients report mild to moderate pain after the surgery, often described as heavy pressure or soreness in the chest area. This discomfort usually peaks in the first 48 hours following the surgery and progressively decreases over the next few days. We provide comprehensive post-surgical care instructions to help manage this discomfort. These may include taking prescribed medication, wearing a supportive bra, avoiding strenuous activities, using ice packs to reduce swelling, and maintaining a restful position.

At Shine Cosmetic Surgery, we believe in a proactive approach to pain management. We recommend our clients get involved in moderate physical activity to increase blood flow and alleviate pain.

At Shine Cosmetic Surgery, we understand that navigating insurance coverage for procedures like breast implant removal can be complex, and we’re here to help. Several factors, including your insurance policy, the reasons for the removal, and the medical necessity, will determine your coverage.

Covered Circumstances:

● Medical Necessity: Our expert team will evaluate your case to determine whether your implant removal is medically necessary due to conditions like implant rupture, infection, or capsular contracture. If your removal is deemed medically necessary, your insurance may cover the costs.
● Complications: If you’re experiencing complications from your initial augmentation surgery, such as scarring or nerve damage, your insurance may offer coverage for the removal procedure.

Non-Covered Circumstances:

● Elective Removal: If the breast implants were inserted for cosmetic reasons and you wish to remove them, insurance companies generally consider this an elective procedure and might not cover the costs. However, if your implants produce health issues, your situation may be an exception.

To determine your insurance coverage for breast implant removal, consult with our professionals. We’ll evaluate the medical necessity of the procedure, provide a referral to an insurance-approved surgeon if necessary, and assist you in gathering all the required documentation for your insurance claim.

At Shine Cosmetic Surgery, we believe that each client deserves clear, comprehensive information about their insurance coverage. We’ll collaborate directly with you and your insurance company to make sure you understand your coverage and minimize any financial strain.

Breast implant removal can be a significant decision, not only for health reasons but also due to the associated costs. As a widely recognized practice in the field of cosmetic surgery, we strive to provide our clients with comprehensive information to help them make informed decisions.

Breast implant removal surgery is a procedure we offer. The cost can range broadly, typically from $4,000 to $10,000 or more, depending on multiple factors, including the complexity of the case, specific procedure, surgeon’s fees, anesthesia costs, implant removal, and additional expenses like pre-operative tests and follow-up appointments, and the geographical location.

Unfortunately, most insurance companies categorize breast implant removal as a cosmetic procedure and do not cover it. However, there might be exceptions when the removal is medically necessary.

At Shine Cosmetic Surgery, we recommend that prospective clients consult with our cosmetic surgeons for a more accurate quote based on their unique circumstances and a detailed breakdown of the expenses involved. We prioritize transparency and client satisfaction in all our procedures and are committed to providing top-tier medical services.

Undergoing a breast implant removal is a personalized process. The changes your breasts may experience post-surgery are influenced by various factors, such as the type of implants you had, the duration they were in place, the surgical technique used, and the characteristics of your natural breast tissue.

We focus not just on the surgical procedure but also on your aesthetic goals. Post-implant removal, your breasts will decrease to their pre-augmentation size. If you had larger implants, the change may be quite noticeable. Our surgeons can discuss additional procedures, such as breast lift or fat grafting, to mitigate issues of sagging skin and enhance the appearance of your breasts post-removal.

The scar tissue and changes in sensation that often accompany implant removal are handled with the utmost care at our practice. Our surgeons are skilled in minimizing scar appearance and managing potential complications from capsular contracture. We also provide comprehensive information about potential changes in nipple and areola sensation post-surgery.

Your ability to breastfeed post-implant removal is a critical concern that we address. Depending on the placement of your implants, we can discuss your options and guide breastfeeding.

As with all our services, we offer comprehensive recovery support following implant removal, including guidance on managing discomfort, swelling, and bruising.

At Shine Cosmetic Surgery, we believe in treating each client as a unique individual, and we tailor our services to your particular requirements and expectations. If you’re considering breast implant removal, our team of qualified surgeons is here to guide you through every step of the process, ensuring that you’re well-informed, comfortable, and confident in your decisions.
