Renew Your Confidence With
Breast Explant Surgery

Overview
Breast implant removal, also known as explant surgery, is a procedure that removes breast implants for either personal reasons or medical necessity. Over time, your aesthetic goals may evolve, or complications like hardened scar tissue (capsular contracture), implant leaks, or shifting may occur.
Summary




Why Consider Breast Implant Removal?
Breast Implant Removal
- You desire a more natural aesthetic or feel it aligns better with your current lifestyle or body goals.
- You are experiencing discomfort, such as back, neck, or shoulder pain, that could be related to implants.
- You have concerns about implant safety or potential health-related issues, including breast implant illness (BII) or capsular contracture.
- Your implants no longer fit your vision for yourself, whether due to aging, life changes, or other personal factors.

Recovery & Results
Your surgeon will provide detailed recovery instructions, including how to care for incisions and manage discomfort. In the days following surgery, you can expect mild swelling, bruising, and discomfort that will gradually improve. Most patients are able to return to light activities within 1-2 weeks, but strenuous exercise should be avoided for several weeks. Some patients report tenderness or soreness for up to 6 weeks.
Final results will improve as swelling subsides, revealing a more natural, refreshed appearance.

Other Surgical Considerations
While breast implant removal can help you feel more comfortable, some patients choose to pair explant surgery with breast correction procedures for improved shape and symmetry including implant revision surgery, a procedure to replace or adjust breast implants to address concerns like shape, size, or complications.
