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.
