Breast Implant Removal
Key Terms
Breast explant surgery is the surgical removal of breast implants from a previous surgery. Capsulectomy involves the removal of the surrounding capsule, or scar tissue. Dr. Straka specializes in en bloc removal of breast implants, which removes the implant and surrounding scar tissue in one piece.
Reasons for Breast Implant Removal
There are many reasons patients desire breast implant removal. This can include complications like implant rupture or capsular contracture or simply no longer wanting implants. Breast implant illness is another reason patients have their implants removed.
What Do Breasts Look Like After Implant Removal?
Many patients have concerns about how their breasts will look after breast implant removal. Fortunately, there are methods to lift and reshape the breasts after explant surgery so patients are comfortable and confident with their results.
About Breast Implant Removal“I find that explant surgery is very rewarding from both our standpoint and the patient’s standpoint. The vast majority of patients tell me that they feel significantly better after the removal of implants.”
