How Breast Implant Removal Restores Your Natural Contour

Breast implant removal isn’t just about taking implants out—it’s about restoring shape, symmetry, and balance in a way that feels right for you. Implants aren’t lifelong devices, and there are many reasons patients may choose removal: changes in aesthetic goals, medical concerns like capsular contracture or systemic symptoms, or simply a desire to move on from implants.

Dr. Mathew Plant takes a personalized, surgical approach to each explant procedure—whether that involves removing scar tissue (capsulectomy), reshaping the breast with a lift, or restoring volume through fat transfer. And for patients told by other surgeons that removal is the only option, Dr. Plant may be able to revise the augmentation instead.

Whether removing implants due to personal preference, lifestyle changes, or medical concerns, Dr. Plant and his team ensures a smooth, proportionate transition that aligns with your body. Your results will feel effortless, natural, and uniquely yours, allowing you to move forward with confidence.

My experience with Dr. Plant and his staff has been outstanding from start to finish. I attended three consultations before choosing a surgeon, and although Dr. Plant was the only one who required a consultation fee, it was well worth it. From the moment I entered the office, I felt comfortable and confident in my decision. The staff are welcoming and friendly—never intimidating, which is rare in a plastic surgery practice. Dr. Plant stood out by offering a surgical approach that minimized scarring and downtime, something no other surgeon proposed. Having spent my career in the medical field working closely with specialist physicians, I found Dr. Plant to be exceptionally personable, attentive, and thorough. He listened carefully, answered all my questions, and addressed considerations I hadn’t even thought of. I am now six weeks post-op and extremely pleased with my results. I highly recommend Dr. Plant and his practice for any type of surgery.

Starting from the consultation, Dr. Plant exceeded all of my expectations. He truly listened to my concerns and made me feel heard, respected, and completely at ease. I felt supported and informed every step of the way. On the day of the procedure, the experience was both professional and personal. I wasn’t scared at all! Dr. Plant and his incredible staff created such a calming environment. Everyone was so kind, supportive, and attentive, and I felt completely taken care of from the moment I arrived. I’m 3 weeks into recovery, and everything has gone so smoothly. I’m absolutely thrilled with the results already! I know making a decision like this can be intimidating, but Dr. Plant helped me feel confident, comfortable, and completely safe in my choice. This experience has been life changing!

I was truly amazed by Dr. Matthew Plant. He is the first doctor who actually gave me a real diagnosis . I’ve struggled with this issue my entire life, and despite undergoing multiple surgeries, no one had ever truly identified the root cause — until now. This was my third surgery, and Dr. Plant was able to correct something that others couldn’t. Not only is he a highly skilled and talented surgeon, but he is also a genuinely compassionate human being. He took the time to listen to me, to answer all my questions, and more importantly, he made me feel seen and understood. I had carried a lot of shame and felt "broken," but he reframed my situation — he treated me like an interesting challenge, and that changed everything for me. The experience as a whole was exceptional — from the elegance of his beautiful Toronto office to the warmth and professionalism of his team. Marianne, Daniela, and Alex were outstanding — always available, day or night. We even booked the surgery on a Saturday afternoon, and I had questions on a Sunday night that were answered without hesitation. They were consistently kind, attentive, and supportive throughout the entire process. I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Plant and his incredible team. Even in a vulnerable and difficult situation, they manage to make you feel like you truly matter. That kind of care is rare — and deeply appreciated.

After waiting over 20 years for this kind of surgery (TT,Lipo, MR) I finally chose Dr. Mathew Plant — and I couldn’t be happier with my decision. Not only is his work meticulous, but what impressed me the most is that Dr. Plant is even more particular and detail-oriented than any patient could hope for. His high standards gave me so much confidence, and it truly shows in my results. He may not say much, but his work speaks louder than words. His entire team — from the kind and supportive nurses to the office staff who are always quick to respond — made the whole experience even more comforting. They treat patients like family, and I felt cared for every step of the way. Thank you, Dr. Plant, for your perfectionism, your quiet confidence, and for delivering results beyond what I ever imagined.

Best Surgery I’ve Ever Had! My experience with Dr Plant was amazing, absolutely Night and Day different versus my previous surgical experience. I cannot even begin to explain how satisfied I am with my results! I had been telling Dr Plant that my scar and muscles on my left side from my previous surgery had left me with discomfort and ww discussed every issue in detail, and he addressed them with different techniques/parts of his procedure to support my implant; now my breasts are perfect! I couldn’t be happier! Cannot wait to see him again for any work.

My experience was overall amazing here. Prior to finding Dr. Plant, I did 5 other consults with plastic surgeons. None of my friends had used him, so I truly went with him based on instinct and a good vibe. I am a very, very anxious and neurotic person, and I really don't think I could have picked a better surgeon. Why I picked him: I lost about 75lbs, and my chest looked horrific. Super thin crepey skin, very deflated, rocks-in-socks, sort of aesthetic. I went from a G cup to a small B. For me, I was drawn to someone who had lots of experience in "mommy makeover" surgeries. I don't have children, but my chest looked like I breastfed a litter of them. I figured if he is comfortable working on difficult post-baby bodies, that mine would be similar to work on. I am fairly scrawny, about 100 lbs on a 5'5 frame. I went into my consult with no set size in mind, but I did have a general description. I'm pretty sure I described it as "adult actress shape, but not so big that I need custom bras." I knew I would likely need a lift and the internal bra (galaflex), based on recommendations from prior consults. He agreed with this, but took the time to explain exactly why I needed them, instead of blindly telling me it was a necessity. He helped me pick a size that perfectly matched my goals. I never felt pressured to choose a certain size or shape. He had me try on similar sizes multiple times to compare subtle differences. My pre-op consult was insanely thorough. He's super easy to talk to and interact with. The staff are phenomenal and so so easy to talk to and engage with. My surgery was totally unremarkable, in the best way possible. No issues, all went smoothly, amazing staff follow up. I got a super minor infection from reacting to the dissolvable sutures, and the practice handled it immediately. It healed flawlessly with no scar. The scars from the surgery itself are impeccable. While I have nothing but great things to say about Dr. Plant, it was honestly his staff that sold me on the practice, specifically Daniella. Every staff that I interacted with was amazing, but it was her who I was in the most communication with. She was the deciding factor in me getting the surgery, because she is truly that good at her job. Thank you guys, I appreciate y'all so much!

Breast Implant Removal: Your Questions, Answered

View All
What is breast implant removal, and why might I need it?

Breast implant removal, or explant surgery, is a procedure that removes breast implants for medical, aesthetic, or personal reasons. Some patients choose to remove their implants due to changes in preference, implant complications, or concerns about long-term maintenance. Others seek removal as part of a breast revision procedure to replace their implants or address issues such as capsular contracture or implant rupture.

Dr. Plant customizes each procedure to ensure that the breasts maintain a natural, balanced appearance after removal. In some cases, a breast lift or fat transfer may be recommended to restore shape and volume.

Do you offer breast implant removal for men?

Breast implant removal is typically performed on women, but some men may require chest revision surgery if implants were placed for reconstruction or body contouring purposes. In these cases, Dr. Plant tailors the procedure to maintain a natural, masculine chest shape.

During your consultation, Dr. Plant will assess your goals and anatomy to determine the best approach for achieving a smooth, proportional result.

Am I a good candidate for breast implant removal?

You may be a good candidate for breast implant removal if you are experiencing discomfort, changes in breast appearance, or simply no longer wish to have implants. Common reasons for removal include aesthetic preference for a more natural breast appearance, implant-related concerns, such as capsular contracture or rupture, or a desire to replace or update implants. During your consultation, Dr. Plant will discuss your goals, medical history, and available options to create a personalized surgical plan that meets your needs.

How long does a breast implant removal procedure take?

Breast implant removal surgery typically takes one to two hours, depending on the complexity of the procedure and whether additional treatments, such as a breast lift or fat grafting, are performed. Dr. Plant carefully plans each step of the procedure to ensure a smooth process and optimal aesthetic outcome. Most patients go home the same day after surgery.

What results can I expect from breast implant removal?

After breast implant removal, the breasts will return to a more natural shape and size. However, the final appearance depends on factors such as skin elasticity, implant size, and how long the implants have been in place. Some patients may experience loose skin or loss of volume after removal. In these cases, a breast lift or fat grafting can help reshape and restore breast contours for a smoother, more youthful appearance. Dr. Plant works closely with each patient to create a customized surgical plan that achieves natural, balanced results.

How soon will I see results from breast implant removal?

Results are visible immediately after surgery, but swelling and healing will temporarily affect the final appearance. Over the following weeks, the breasts adjust to their new shape, with final results becoming more defined within three to six months. Dr. Plant provides personalized aftercare instructions to optimize healing and help patients feel confident in their results.

How long is the recovery period after breast implant removal?

Most patients return to light activities within one week, with full recovery taking four to six weeks. Swelling and mild discomfort are expected in the early stages but gradually improve. Strenuous activities and heavy lifting should be avoided until Dr. Plant clears you for full activity.

At Lawrence Park Plastic Surgery, Dr. Plant and his team provide comprehensive aftercare support to ensure a smooth, comfortable recovery. This includes personalized guidance, detailed recovery protocols, and follow-up care to promote optimal healing and long-lasting results. From the moment your procedure is complete, you’ll have access to expert advice and hands-on support, so you can heal with confidence.

Are the results of breast implant removal permanent?

Yes, breast implant removal results are permanent, but natural aging and weight fluctuations may continue to affect breast shape over time. Some patients may choose to undergo a breast lift or fat transfer to enhance contours after removal.

Dr. Plant uses advanced techniques to ensure that results look natural and proportionate for years to come.

Are there risks associated with breast implant removal?

Breast implant removal is a safe and effective procedure when performed by an experienced surgeon like Dr. Plant. However, as with any surgery, potential risks include scarring, temporary changes in sensation, or minor asymmetry.

Dr. Plant prioritizes patient safety and precision, using the most advanced surgical techniques to minimize risks and ensure optimal healing. During your consultation, he will discuss any potential concerns and how they are managed, ensuring you feel fully informed and confident in your decision.

Will my breasts look deflated after implant removal?

Many patients worry that their breasts will look deflated or saggy after removing implants. The final appearance depends on factors such as skin elasticity, implant size, and how long the implants were in place.

For patients with minimal skin laxity, the breasts often return to a natural, balanced shape over time. If additional support is needed, a breast lift or fat transfer can restore volume and improve breast position. Dr. Plant works with each patient to determine the best approach for achieving a natural, proportionate result.

How much does breast implant removal cost in Toronto?

The cost of breast implant removal varies based on the complexity of the procedure and whether a breast lift or fat grafting is included. During your consultation, Dr. Plant will provide a detailed estimate after assessing your goals, anatomy, and desired outcome.

While cost is a consideration, choosing an experienced and skilled surgeon ensures the quality, safety, and longevity of your results.

Can I combine breast implant removal with other procedures?

Yes, breast implant removal is often combined with other procedures for optimal aesthetic results. Many patients choose to add a breast lift to restore shape and firmness or a fat transfer to add natural volume.

Dr. Plant customizes each surgical plan based on individual goals, ensuring safe, natural-looking results. During your consultation, he will assess your needs and recommend the best approach to achieve your desired outcome.
