Breast Implant Removal or Revision in Portland & Lake Oswego
People may choose breast implant removal or revision for several reasons, including changes in aesthetic preferences, a desire for a different size or shape, or lifestyle changes where implants may no longer fit their needs.
Additionally, some may seek removal or revision to address implant-related complications, such as capsular contracture, implant rupture, or shifting, or to improve comfort and achieve a more natural appearance as their bodies change over time.
Why Get Implant Removal Or Revision?
- Change in aesthetic preferences
- Desire to return to their natural breasts
- Maintenance and longevity
- Implant rupture or capsular contracture
- Aging concerns

Implant Removal With Lift
Depending on how long you had your implants, they may have caused your skin to become stretched or sagged. If this is the case, you may want to consider getting a breast lift at the same time as having your implants removed. A lift involves removing small amounts of breast tissue, skin, and fat to lift your breasts higher on your body, as well as create a proportional, perky, voluminous look. Getting a breast lift in conjunction with your implant removal can help ensure that your breasts retain a symmetrical, aesthetically pleasing appearance.
Breast Surgery Revision
Breast surgery revision may be necessary as your breasts age, your skin changes, or if implant integrity changes. There are a handful of options for revision including breast lift, breast reduction, and revision of your breast augmentation. Unfortunately, breast implants are not designed to last forever, so at some point, you may need a revision of your initial surgery. This is a patient-specific issue; no one knows exactly how long a breast implant will last.

How Do I Know If I Need Implant Replacement?
If you think you may have a ruptured or deflated implant, please remember that this is not a medical emergency. It is recommended that you have the implant removed sooner than later; most women have the implant replaced. Some women opt to have their implants completely removed instead of replaced. Because there are a variety of surgical options available, Dr. Burgess must evaluate you and review your surgical goals before a plan can be made.

Internal Bra for Breast Implant Removal or Revision
An internal bra provides added support within the breast for patients seeking extra lift, shape, or long-lasting structural integrity. Using bioresorbable mesh materials like DuraSorb or GalaFLEX, the internal bra acts as an internal scaffold that gradually dissolves as natural tissue grows and takes over support.
- DuraSorb: This bioresorbable sterile monofilament mesh dissolves over a shorter period, offering initial support while allowing natural tissue to form in its place. It is FDA approved for soft tissue support in reconstructive and cosmetic surgery so use in the breast is considered off label.
- GalaFLEX: This bioresorbable sterile monofilament knitted mesh dissolves slower, providing prolonged support as it integrates with the body’s tissue over time. It is FDA approved for soft tissue reinforcement in plastic and reconstructive surgery so use in the breast is considered off label.
These options can be especially beneficial for individuals with thin tissue, those undergoing revision procedures, or those looking for added lift or reconstruction without compromising natural movement.
Transformations That Speak Volumes
See What Our Patients Are Saying
Dr. Burgess and her professional staff are top notch. From the initial consultation to the final results, I couldn’t be more pleased
Dr. Burgess performed Ultherapy around my mouth and lips and within 3 weeks I felt firmer and my lips appeared to be ‘lifted’ and more shapely. Now at 2 months, I am enjoying a more defined lip line. The procedure was less painful than I expected and took less than 30 minutes.
I have visited Burgess Plastic Surgery several times for a variety of reasons. I have never had a bad experience. First of all, the clinic is always clean, warm, and inviting. The staff is friendly and helpful. They are eager to help and answer questions and make me feel safe and secure. Dr. Burgess is amazing! She always has the right ideas and I always walk away feeling beautiful without any pressure! I highly recommend this clinic!
I was really nervous about the whole process but the staff made me feel very comfortable with my procedure. She changed my life!
