Frequently Asked Questions

Is breast implant removal painful?

Discomfort is usually mild and managed with medication. Recovery is often easier than the original augmentation.

Will I look deflated after removal?

It depends on your skin elasticity and breast tissue. Dr. Quttainah often combines removal with a lift or fat grafting to ensure a natural look.

What if my implant is ruptured?

Saline is absorbed safely by the body. Silicone requires careful removal, often via en bloc technique.

Can I switch to fat transfer instead?

Yes — especially for those wanting a more natural, lower-maintenance solution.

How much does implant removal cost in Dubai?

Pricing depends on the procedure type and whether a lift or new implant is included. A full quote is provided after consultation.
