There are a variety of problems with having breast implants and many of them are discovered when there is a visible damage in the busts' feel and shape.

Depending on the symptoms, factors may include the duration of insertion, the type of implant, and the position of insertion. Most people choose to remove a breast implant because external treatments such as massages and treatments do not improve or stop the progression of symptoms.

Causes of breast implant damage may also include:
· Implant complications eg. rupture, folding, or deflation.
· Capsular contracture, tension bands asymmetry, displacement, infection, and leakage of silicone.
· Build-up of calcium

Before starting the procedure, the doctor will check the symptoms and conditions of the breasts to determine the best method that minimizes scar and damage.
