Award-Winning Care

Dr. James E. Murphy was named Best Plastic Surgeon in Reno for six years in a row. He performs breast augmentation procedures more than any other procedure, and welcomes patients who desire a better result after an initial breast augmentation.

Board-Certified Care

Dr. James E. Murphy became certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery in 2000. He is also a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons, a distinction that is earned by meeting stringent requirements like securing references from existing Fellows.

Comprehensive Results

If implant removal or exchange wouldn’t be enough to deliver the results you desire, our plastic surgeon in Reno, NV, may be able to combine your procedure with a breast lift. This combination procedure would correct the concerns you have with your implants and raise your breasts into a perkier, more youthful position. Of course, he'll only combine procedures if it's safe to do so.

Find Stunning Results With Implant Removal or Exchange

While you may have been happy with your previous results, implants can shift over time due to factors like weight gain or loss, having a baby, or the natural aging process. Many Reno patients come to us after these changes take place, they change their mind about their implants, or they undergo a procedure they aren't happy with. We invite you to explore our gallery of patient cases to see how beautiful the possibilities can be.

“I was really pleased with my experience with Dr. Murphy's office.  I traveled from Northwest Montana to have my second breast augmentation, 10 years after my initial surgery. I was initially impressed with his gallery and was even more pleased with my own results. He is a wonderful surgeon and delivered the desired results. I passed on seeing a surgeon within the next county to see Dr. Murphy and I'm so glad I did.” — Nicole, 5-Star Review

The Reasons Behind the Removal

You Need New Implants

It's possible that you'll need to replace your breast implants every decade or two. Our plastic surgeon can guide you through your options, remove your old breast implants, and place new ones. He can also rejuvenate the area with a breast lift if you desire.

You Want to Change Your Implants

Even over the past 10 years, breast implants have changed a lot. There are newer, safer, and more lifelike options available to choose from. If you just want to change the size, shape, or style of your implants, Dr. James E. Murphy can help with that, too.

You Weren't Satisfied With Your Surgeon

While you may have been happy with your previous results, implants can shift over time due to factors like weight gain or loss, having a baby, or the natural aging process. Many Reno patients come to us after these changes take place, they change their mind about their implants, or they undergo a procedure they were not happy with. We invite you to explore our gallery of patient cases to see how beautiful the possibilities can be.

You Don't Want Implants Anymore

Even if you used to love your implants, you're not stuck with them if that changes. Some patients find sleeping a bit more difficult, while others want a smoother silhouette. Our board-certified plastic surgeon, Dr. James E. Murphy, can help you find the figure you desire with breast implant removal.

How Does Breast Implant Removal Go?

In addition to removing your implants, Dr. James E. Murphy can also address scar tissue inside the breasts during the procedure. At our Reno practice, the process works something like this.

“Met with Dr. Murphy for a consultation on breast implant exchange. He has great bedside manner and makes you feel extremely comfortable and answers all your questions with no rush. I like how he gave the answer to my questions but also gave me his own thoughts. I will definitely be coming to Dr. Murphy.” — Kayle, 5-Star Review

Consultation

Patients who aren't happy with their post-implant breasts, patients with ruptures, and patients in need of replacement can all benefit from a consultation. Dr. James E. Murphy will listen to your experiences and goals, as well as kindly assess your candidacy.

Examination

To fully prepare, our doctor may order X-rays, an MRI, or scans of your breasts in addition to a basic examination to help best plan your surgery. 

Anesthesia

Before our doctor conducts your surgery, we'll make sure that you're comfortable with anesthesia.

Removal

Next, our plastic surgeon will create a precise incision around the nipple or the crease of the breast and remove your implants. He may also eliminate scar tissue from your breast.

Optional New Breast Implants

If they're part of your plan, our plastic surgeon will place your new breast implants.

Sutures

After ensuring your breast area is fully sterile, our doctor will place sutures to seal your incision.

Laser Therapy

Every detail counts at our practice. For smoother results that boost your confidence, we use 1540 laser therapy once you've healed, which decreases your scarring.
