Why choose BIRA for your breast implant removal surgery
BIRA™ is a division of Esteem Aesthetics dedicated to providing you with the most affordable breast implant removal surgery at our fully-accredited private hospitals in Sydney. If you’ve made the personal decision to remove your implants, we are devoted to providing you with completely customised and safe explant surgery to effectively remove the risks and complications of your implants.
While many women choose to have their implants removed and replaced with new implants, some women are choosing to take them out entirely. BIRA™ was established exclusively for the latter group of women to help lower the high patient fees associated with breast implant removal surgery and reversing the breast augmentation procedure they have previously had in the past. The most common reasons women choose to have breast implant removal surgery include:
Breast implant complications include: capsular contracture, implant rupture, folding, displacement, infection, leakage of silicone, and deflation (if the breast implant is filled with saline).
Many women who have had breast implants when they were younger may later make the decision to have them removed. The reasons for doing so can include changes in personal preferences, beauty ideals or lifestyle changes.
Breast Implant-Associated Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma (BIA-ALCL) is a rare form of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. The FDA wants to raise awareness of the cancer, even though it's very rare. The estimated incidence rates range from a high of 1 in 3,817 patients to a low estimate of 1 in 30,000. When diagnosed early and managed properly - it is readily curable.
Breast Implant Illness (BII) is a term used by women who have breast implants and who self-identify and describe a variety of symptoms including (but not limited to) fatigue, chest pain, hair loss, headaches, chills, photosensitivity, chronic pain, rash, body odour, anxiety, brain fog, sleep disturbance, depression, neurologic issues, and hormonal issues that they feel are directly connected to their saline or silicone, textured or smooth breast implants.
Known as explant surgery with capsulectomy, the procedure is performed as a day surgery at BIRA’s licensed and fully-accredited private hospitals in Sydney.
Breast implant removal surgery takes approximately 60-90 minutes.
It is conducted under general anaesthesia administered by a specialist anaesthetist.
Typically, this procedure can be done using your previous breast augmentation incision sites.
In some cases, your explant surgeon may need to make an additional incision to ensure removal of the capsule.
Once both implants and their capsules have been removed with an en bloc or full capsulectomy (when it is safe to do so), the incisions will be closed, and you will be placed in a compression bra.
If you are in good health, at a stable weight, and are a non-smoker, you will likely heal quickly and only need a week of downtime.
Normal daily activities like showering, eating and light activity such as walking can be resumed within 24 hours after surgery.

This all-inclusive fee is based on a straight forward Breast Implant Removal (bilateral explant with capsulectomy). Straight forward meaning that there is: no rupture of implants, you do not have capsular contracture (Baker Grade 3 or 4) , and you do not have polyurethane coated implants.
Prior to attending a consultation, please organise with your local GP to get an MRI or USS of both breasts to rule out rupture. We will need the report and the images at your consultation. Also ensure you have your implant ID card. This card would have been given to you after your last surgery. This would have details of the brand of implants you have, the style and the size of the implants. If you have misplaced this information, please contact your primary surgeon’s rooms or the hospital you were operated in for a copy of your operation notes.
The cost of the consultation fee (face to face, skype or facetime) is payable at the time of the booking. This amount is non-refundable in an event of a no show or if you cancel or reschedule your appointment, your appointment time has been exclusively booked for you. Please do not book an appointment if you are unsure of your availability. The consultation date and time is exclusively booked for you.
During your consultation, your explant surgeon will perform a physical examination and discuss your concerns and priorities for the surgery. It’s important for them to understand why you want to have your implants removed and if you need additional procedures to match your expectations. They will also provide you with comprehensive information on the procedure itself, including its risks and complications.

Prior to attending a private consultation with an explant surgeon at BIRA™ for breast implant removal surgery, you will need to visit your GP and organise to have an ultrasound performed of both your breasts in order to rule out any rupture of the implants. You will need to bring this ultrasound report with you to your consultation in addition to your implant ID card. Your implant ID card will have details of your implants including the implant brand, size, style etc. It will also specify whether or not your implants are polyurethane coated.
