What Is a Breast Implant Removal?

A breast implant removal is a surgical procedure that removes a patient’s existing implants and may also take out some of the surrounding scar tissue, known as the capsule. It’s designed to address discomfort, medical concerns, and lifestyle changes. Every procedure is tailored to the patient’s unique anatomy, creating a natural-looking shape that complements their authentic beauty.

Thank you, Dr Stark, for making my life HAPPIER!!

“Dr Stark and her medical team are amazing. Went in to have an Abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) and the care is excellent. Currently at 9 weeks post surgery, swollen a lot less, and loving my results so far. Going into surgery, I was nervous about the after-pain because I heard several horror stories of how painful it is. Surprisingly, my pain level was mild ( 1-10 I was at 2). My experience exceeded my expectations from the consultation, to surgery, to post op. Dr Stark, Sabrina Esquivel, and the whole team have been very caring and attentive, and delivered an A+  service. Thank you, Dr Stark, for making my life HAPPIER!!”

I cannot thank Dr. Stark enough.

“Dr. Stark is not only a meticulous professional and at the top of her field, but she and her team are one of the warmest and most engaged treatment teams I have ever met. Dr. Stark and Sabrina walked me through every moment of the procedure and recovery, and they were attentive and responsive. Her nurses in recovery were incredibly kind and thorough. Dr. Stark’s sense of humor mixed with her attention to detail makes her truly exceptional, and she makes you feel understood. The results of my mini abdominoplasty with liposuction were beyond anything I would have imagined. I cannot thank Dr. Stark and the Schwartz Institute enough.”

Dr. Stark is absolutely the best plastic surgeon.

“Dr. Stark is outstanding! She is an artist and a perfectionist. For years, I questioned if my prophylactic mastectomy was worth it because I didn’t love the way I looked. I booked a consultation with Dr. Stark to correct an encapsulated breast implant. She was thorough and made me feel comfortable. The morning of my procedure, as she was marking me, I knew I was not going to regret the results I would be waking up to. I have never felt so confident and happy with my body as she has made me feel. From her pre-op routine and post op routine that helps your body heal quickly without any complications, to her amazing skill of injecting with Botox and Filler, Dr. Stark is absolutely the best plastic surgeon.”

I would definitely go back to Dr. Stark in the future...

“I highly recommend Dr. Stark! I had liposuction and excision of axillary breast tissue performed by Dr. Stark in October 2023. She is incredibly knowledgeable and explains every step in a clear, comforting manner. She does not push procedures and, in fact, recommended I hold off on several additions to my procedure that I was interested in. I had no problems with my healing and am incredibly pleased with the results so far. The nursing and administrative staff are also top-notch. They are all so friendly and responsive, and I never felt awkward about any part of the process. I would definitely go back to Dr. Stark in the future if I ever want to have anything else done.”

“I am beyond grateful to Dr. Stark for completely transforming my life. The results are absolutely stunning.

Her exceptional professionalism, kindness, and unwavering artistry make her the perfect doctor for me.

- H.C.

I can’t say enough about how truly amazing Dr. Stark has been...

“I can’t say enough about how truly amazing Dr. Stark has been through my surgical journey. I had two babies back to back and couldn’t get my body back to a place of feeling like me again. I met with her, and I knew right then and there that her vision was my vision. She saw exactly what I was saying and made me feel so comfortable making the decision to move forward with a Mommy Makeover procedure in her surgery center. She recommended a Breast Implant with a Lift, some Liposuction, and Upper and Lower Eyelids. She is a true artist. I am two weeks post-op and this experience is life-changing. I couldn’t be happier with how everything looks. I finally feel confident again, and just in time for summer. I one hundred percent recommend her to anyone who is looking to inquire about cosmetic surgery. You will not be disappointed. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, Dr. Stark!!!”

- D.M.

Dr. Stark is extremely thorough and so supportive...

“Dr. Stark performed an abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) and some lipo to my bra line and flanks. To say my expectations were met is an understatement!! I am so thrilled with my results. After four children, I definitely noticed an overall lack of confidence in my body, and that confidence has been restored! Dr. Stark is extremely thorough and so supportive throughout the entire process. I have no regrets whatsoever and would highly recommend Dr. Stark for beautiful results.”

- T.M.

I highly recommend Dr. Jennifer Stark!!

“Dr. Stark performed an upper blepharoplasty for me, and I'm thrilled with the results!! It was a simple (virtually painless) procedure, and the recovery time was minor. Dr. Stark is brilliant, and she's a true artist. Not to mention she's so lovely along with her staff. I highly recommend Dr. Jennifer Stark!!”

What to Expect From Your Breast Implant Removal in Westlake Village and Thousand Oaks

A Personalized Consultation

Your one-on-one consultation with Dr. Stark will begin with a careful review of your current implants and surgical history, along with a skin and breast health assessment. You’ll talk through your aesthetic goals for this procedure, and Dr. Stark will explain your options.

Expert Removal Techniques

No two patients are alike, and neither are Dr. Stark’s procedures. She’ll develop a customized surgical plan tailored to your specific needs, which may include implant removal, removal with a partial capsule excision, or removal with a total capsulectomy.

Precision in Performance

During surgery, Dr. Stark will remove your implants and any necessary capsule tissue to create subtle, natural-looking contours on your body. Her focus will be on preserving healthy tissue and creating a supportive foundation for the breasts to settle on.

Combined Treatments for Additional Support

In some cases, Dr. Stark may recommend a breast lift or fat transfer augmentation to achieve symmetry or properly support your newly enhanced shape. These combined procedures can help create a balanced result that works with your anatomy, not against it, especially if your implants have been in place for several years.

  • Daily routines
  • Desk work and other stationary activities
  • Light exercise
  • Gentle movement, such as walking short-to-medium distances

Breast Implant Removal Frequently Asked Questions

Will I need a breast lift after implant removal?

Breast lifts are not necessary after implant removal, but some patients benefit from a lift to improve shape and support. You’ll discuss your options with Dr. Stark, and the final decision will depend upon skin elasticity and health, implant size, and your lifestyle.

How soon after my procedure can I resume exercise?

Most patients are able to resume light, gentle exercise within a week of their procedure. During your post-operative journey, Dr. Stark will monitor your healing process and will approve you for impactful, strenuous exercise once you’ve passed key recovery milestones.

Will my breasts look significantly different after removal?

There will be natural changes in the shape, size, and volume of your breasts due to the implant removal. If you’d like to preserve your current breast fullness, Dr. Stark may add a breast lift or fat transfer augmentation to your procedure.
