Breast Explantation

IMPLANT EXPLANTATION

Breast implant removal, also known as explantation, is to remove breast implants that have undergone changes over time and are no longer needed or wanted. The ideal implant removal typically includes a breast lift and, sometimes, an “In Bloc” capsulectomy, where the scar tissue is completely removed.

WHO IS A GOOD CANDIDATE?

An ideal Implant Explantation is an excellent option if a smaller breast is better suited to your desired appearance. Some women become very active in sports and find that large breasts make it more difficult to excel in vigorous activities.

To be eligible for breast implant removal, you must be in good general health. Your complete medical history will be evaluated and discussed during the consultation phase.

PROCEDURE

This procedure is performed under anesthesia and usually takes 2-3 hours.

An incision removes existing implants, reshaping the tissue to create an attractive, youthful contour. Removal sometimes must include a capsulotomy and lift as well.

RECOVERY

Some discomfort, swelling, and bruising may occur after the breast implant removal procedure. These disappear after a few days, and patients can return to work after a week. Strenuous physical activity should be avoided for three weeks.

RESULTS

The results are immediate and permanent, and the incisions are discreet and often fade significantly over time.

COST

The cost for Implant Explantation can vary depending on the patient’s individual needs, but it is usually:  $5,000-9,000.
