When It's Time for a Change — Or Time to Take Them Out

Breast implants aren't necessarily forever. Whether you're looking to remove them entirely, replace them with a different size or type, or address complications, Dr. Sushrut Kalra handles removal and replacement with the same precision and care he brings to every procedure.
Some women change their minds about implants after years. Others want to update their size or switch to a different implant type. Still others need removal due to rupture, capsular contracture, or simply wanting their natural breasts back. Whatever your reason, removal and replacement is a straightforward procedure — and the results reflect what you actually want now.

When It's Time to Change Your Implants

  • Your Goals Have Shifted Since Surgery What felt like the perfect size at 30 doesn't feel right at 45. Your lifestyle, body image, and aesthetic preferences naturally evolve — replacement lets you adjust to what makes sense for your life now.
  • You're Dealing with Implant Rupture Your implant has deflated or leaked. Whether silicone or saline, replacement is the straightforward solution to restore your appearance and peace of mind.
  • You Simply Want Your Natural Breasts Back After years with implants, you've decided this isn't for you anymore. Removal lets you return to your natural shape, which now feels more aligned with who you are.
  • Aging Has Changed How You Feel About Implants As your body ages, implants can look less harmonious. Replacement with the right size and type keeps your results looking current and natural.
  • Capsular Contracture Is Making Breasts Feel Hard Scar tissue has tightened around your implant, making it feel unnaturally firm or painful. Removal and replacement restores comfort and a softer, more natural feel.
  • Implant-Related Health Concerns You've experienced symptoms you believe are connected to your implants — whether confirmed or suspected — and you want them out or replaced with a different option.
  • Want to Switch to a Different Implant Type You've been thinking about moving from saline to silicone (or vice versa) for better feel, appearance, or peace of mind about longevity.
  • Previous Complications or Dissatisfaction Your first augmentation didn't turn out as expected. Replacement is your chance to get the result you should have had the first time
