Elderly patients can now safely undergo breast implant explantation
To minimize intraoperative complications in elderly patients, explantation should be performed using modern surgical techniques in licensed general hospitals that meet professional standards and have emergency response capabilities in place.
Post-augmentation pain is common, particularly among women who underwent breast augmentation more than a decade ago. Many continue to suffer from complications such as breast firmness, recurrent ptosis, implant malposition, capsular contracture, pseudocapsule formation, implant displacement, symmastia, tight pockets, or unsightly scarring. Yet, due to psychological concerns and age-related surgical risks, they hesitate to seek treatment, despite patient safety being a top priority.
