What Is a Breast Explant?

A breast explant is a surgical procedure to remove a woman’s breast implants along with their capsules (scar tissue around the implants). Common motivations for undergoing this procedure include:

Dissatisfaction with the implants’ appearance over time
Complications like rupture or leakage
Medical concerns such as breast implant illness or capsular contracture

Why Are Breast Explants Sometimes Combined With Lifts or Reductions?

Breast explants are often performed at the same time as lifts or reductions to address changes in breast shape and skin elasticity that occur after implant removal. When implants are removed, the breast tissue may appear deflated or saggy due to the stretched skin and loss of volume. A breast lift tightens and elevates the remaining breast tissue, while a reduction can adjust the size for better proportion.

Good Candidates for a Breast Explant With Reduction or Lift

Ideal candidates for this combination treatment often seek a return to a natural breast size and shape while addressing sagging or excess skin that can occur after implant removal. Patients must be in good health and have realistic expectations.

The Procedure

Dr. Rai will perform your breast explant with lift or reduction in the Cosmetic Surgical Center’s on-site surgical suite. After the administration of general anesthesia, he will make an anchor incision (around the areola, down to the breast crease, and along the breast crease).

Next, Dr. Rai will carefully remove the implants and capsules. If a lift or reduction is planned, excess skin and tissue are removed. In a technique called auto augmentation, the remaining tissue may also be reshaped to create a natural breast contour. Additionally, the nipples might be repositioned to ensure a balanced and aesthetically pleasing result. Finally, the incisions are closed with sutures.

What Happens After the Surgery?

Recovery from a breast explant with lift or reduction typically involves a few weeks of focused care. Patients should plan to rest, avoid heavy lifting, and follow their surgeon’s instructions closely. It’s important to wear a supportive bra and avoid activities that could strain the healing tissues. Recovery times may vary, but most patients can resume strenuous activities after several weeks.
