What is Breast Implant Removal Surgery?
Breast implant removal, also known as explant surgery, removes breast implants from previous augmentation or reconstruction surgeries. It may also involve capsulectomy (removal of scar tissue around the implant) for improved comfort and aesthetics.
Reasons for Surgery
- Personal Preference – Return to a more natural breast appearance.
- Implant Complications – Address problems like rupture, leakage, or capsular contracture.
- Health Concerns – Feeling discomfort or systemic symptoms.
- Aesthetic Changes – Aging, weight fluctuations, or lifestyle changes may change personal preference.
Surgical Technique Options
- Simple Implant Removal – The implants removed without additional procedures.
- Capsulectomy – The surrounding scar tissue is also removed along with the implants.
- En Bloc Capsulectomy – The implant and scar tissue removed as a single unit for specific medical concerns such as Breast Implant-Associated Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma.
- Breast Lift (Mastopexy) After Implant Removal – Enhance the shape and firmness of the breasts post-explant by removal of excess skin.
