What is Breast Implant Removal?

Breast implant removal, also known as explant surgery, is a procedure to remove breast implants for medical, cosmetic, or personal reasons. Whether you’re experiencing complications, shifting aesthetic preferences, or simply looking for a more natural appearance, this surgery is tailored to support your goals.

During the procedure, your surgeon may also remove surrounding scar tissue (capsule) to achieve a smoother, more natural contour. Some patients opt for replacement implants or fat transfer in the same session, depending on the desired outcome.

Your comfort, safety, and results are our top priorities. Our experienced surgical team will guide you through every step of your journey with expert, personalized care.

What Happens During Surgery?

Breast implant removal is performed under general anesthesia and may involve:

  • Standard Implant Removal – The implants are removed without altering the surrounding tissue.

  • Capsulectomy – Both the implants and surrounding scar tissue are removed to improve comfort and appearance.

  • Replacement or Revision – Some patients choose to replace their implants or undergo fat transfer to maintain or adjust volume.

Your surgeon will tailor the surgical approach based on your unique needs, health status, and personal preferences.

Is Breast Implant Removal Right For Me?

You may be a good candidate for explant surgery if you:

  • Are experiencing discomfort, rupture, or capsular contracture

  • Prefer a more natural breast shape

  • Have lifestyle or health changes that make implants less desirable

  • Are in good general health with realistic expectations

We’ll work closely with you during your consultation to determine the best course of action for your long-term wellness and aesthetic goals.

  • Relief from implant-related discomfort or complications

     

  • Return to a more natural breast shape and feel

     

  • Greater alignment with personal lifestyle and body image goals

     

  • Opportunity for future enhancements (e.g., fat transfer, lift)

     

  • Improved peace of mind and body confidence

Like any surgical procedure, breast implant removal carries some risks, including:

  • Infection or bleeding

     

  • Scarring

     

  • Temporary changes in breast or nipple sensitivity

     

  • Potential for asymmetry or contour irregularities

     

These risks will be fully discussed during your consultation, and your surgeon will take every measure to ensure a smooth and safe recovery.
