What Is Breast Explant with Fat Transfer?
Breast explant surgery is performed for a variety of reasons. In some cases, the patient may no longer wish to have breasts implants but still want breasts that have a full and voluminous appearance. Other women may require breast explant surgery to remove the implant along with any capsules as a result of capsular contracture but would still like to retain the fuller appearance of their breasts. In these cases, our team at the Cosmetic Surgery Center in Dallas can perform breast implant removal with fat transfer to provide the patient with the care and aesthetic results they desire.
What Is Breast Explant with Fat Transfer?
During a normal breast explant procedure, the implants are removed along with the surrounding capsule if necessary. If the pectoralis muscle in the area has been damaged, it is also prepared during this time. The incision is then closed and wrapped.
During breast explant with fat removal, the same implant removal and removal of the capsule is performed as with regular breast explant surgery. Next, liposuction is performed on an area of the body with excess fat. The harvested fat is processed and purified to remove any excess fluids. The fat is then injected into the breasts in order to add volume and enhance their shape and projection.
