Breast Implant Removal Surgery in Thane, Mumbai – Removal & Replacement Cost | CCRS

Breast implant removal surgery in Thane is a highly individual decision. Dr. Sameer Karkhanis at CCRS Thane recommends it for patients with capsular contracture (hardening of the breast), persistent pain, imaging-confirmed implant leaks, or those who simply no longer want implants or want them replaced. You’re a good candidate if you’re bothered by the appearance of your implants, feel discomfort or heaviness, notice your scar tissue getting harder or tighter, or imaging suggests a rupture. Some patients choose removal of breast implant without replacement — others opt for breast implant removal and replacement, or breast implant removal with lift to address any sagging. Dr. Karkhanis will assess your anatomy and goals at your first consultation at CCRS Thane.

Before breast implant removal surgery in Thane, expect a full medical evaluation and lab testing at CCRS Thane. Stop smoking in the weeks before surgery — it directly affects healing. Aspirin, anti-inflammatory drugs, and herbal supplements raise bleeding risk and need to be stopped in advance. Dr. Karkhanis will review your current medications and adjust as needed at your pre-operative consultation.

Breast implant removal surgery in Thane at CCRS is performed under general anaesthesia and takes 1 to 2 hours. An incision is made either along the lower fold of the breast (the inframammary fold) or around the areola — Dr. Karkhanis chooses the approach based on your specific anatomy and whether you’re having removal alone or breast implant removal with lift. A combination of techniques removes both the breast capsule and the implant. Incisions are closed with sutures, skin adhesives, or tapes.

After your breast implant removal, your chest will be wrapped in gauze or bandages, and you might have drains to remove excess fluid. A support bra or compression garment may be used to reduce swelling. Drains, if used, are small tubes placed under the skin to help drain blood or fluid that could build up post-surgery.

You’ll receive detailed care instructions, including how to care for the incision sites, any medications (oral or topical) to aid healing and prevent infection, signs to watch for regarding complications, and when to schedule a follow-up with your surgeon.

After breast implant removal surgery in Thane, your breasts may appear flatter, droopier, or have indentations — particularly if significant scar tissue was removed. Final results depend on implant size, remaining breast tissue, and capsule extent. Swelling takes time to settle and breast pictures after implant removal at 6 months look very different from day one — full results take up to a year. Results vary, especially if breast tissue has thinned or implants leaked. Some patients need multiple procedures, and in severe cases where silicone has spread beyond the scar tissue, a mastectomy may be required. Dr. Karkhanis will give you a frank assessment of expected outcomes at your consultation at CCRS Thane.
