Breast Laid Plans: Why More Women Are Ditching Their Implants

April 26, 2024
The Talk’s Sharon Osbourne…Glee’s Heather Morris…Little House on the Prairie’s Melissa Gilbert…

All of these celebrities went public with their decision to downsize in the chest department. The backpedaling may seem kind of surprising, considering these famous faces opted for implants in the first place.

So why the sudden change of heart? Osbourne woke up one morning to discover an implant leaked into the wall of her stomach. Morris said her breast enhancement left her feeling sore on a regular basis. Gilbert maintains that she parted ways with her implants for the sake of her health and because she no longer liked the way they looked or felt.

Ironically, it is becoming just as trendy to say goodbye to saline and silicone as it is to enhance those assets.

Reasons for Breast Implant Removal (also known as Explant)

Women “explant” for many different reasons. In a growing number of cases, women have a combination of factors for wanting to go au naturel. Consider some common reasons for explanting.

·      Houston, We Have Problems: We’ve all heard the stories about leaking implants, illness, emergency surgeries and other nightmares women with implants experience. While the quality and constitution of the implants themselves have improved and health problems are regularly studied, reviewed and remedied, there is no guarantee when a woman gets implants that she will not encounter ongoing complications, the need to replace implants or potentially serious health problems. This consideration may keep many younger women from jumping on the implant bandwagon, and it is also sparking some desire in current implant owners to explant, ASAP.
