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.

Choosing a surgeon is an important decision—and we believe you deserve to know who will be performing your procedure. At our clinic, Dr. Jenq performs every part of the surgery herself, from start to finish. Unlike some practices where surgical tasks may be delegated to trainees, residents, or surgical technicians, your care will never be passed off to someone else. This direct attention not only supports safety and consistency but ensures that your experience is truly individualized.

We recognize that affordability and access are essential. That’s why we offer multiple payment options, including both insurance and self-pay. Our knowledgeable staff can help you navigate the insurance approval process and provide clear, upfront information about costs if you choose to pay out of pocket.
