INTRODUCTION
If you have previously had breast implants to enhance the size of your breasts, but you have now decided you don't want them anymore, they can be surgically removed. There may also be medical reasons why a breast augmentation needs to be reversed, or you might just want to change the size, shape or feel of your breasts. If so then new different sized implants can be inserted following removal of your original implants.
