Introduction
About Breast Explant
Every woman goes through a unique journey when deciding to get breast implants. You may have loved your implants but they no longer serve your cosmetic goals, or you’ve simply moved into a new season of life. If you no longer want your implants, your reasons are perfectly valid. Breast implants are fraught with decisions, and it’s understandable to change your mind at some point. Breast explant surgery is a procedure that removes existing implants and reconstructs the natural breast to take its place. Often, a technique called “en bloc” capsulectomy is used, which is a process of removing the whole implant and the shell of scar tissue that forms around it. It’s especially useful if you’ve experienced complications with capsular contracture. Fat transfer breast augmentation is another tool to replace lost volume and create a good result. In short, breast explant surgery is personalized to your goals and wants, as well as focused on helping you feel comfortable and confident, recapturing the body you used to have.

Breast explant surgery can fit your needs and give you peace of mind, but it may or may not be an easy decision. If you no longer want your breast implants, Dr. Tehrani can help you restore your natural look. You’re likely a good candidate for breast explant surgery if you identify with the following.
Restore Natural Volume
One of the most important steps of breast explant surgery is to reconstruct the breast mound after the implant is taken out. A few different techniques can be used to fill the implant pocket and restore volume, such as using your own body fat.
Remove Scar Tissue
If you experienced capsular contracture after implant surgery, Dr. Tehrani will take steps to remove any residual scar tissue.
Relieve Discomfort
Complications like capsular contracture can cause discomfort, meaning breast explant surgery can alleviate pain by removing the hardened scar tissue and implants.

Following some key preparation steps can help ensure a smooth procedure. You’ll receive detailed instructions on how to prepare, including:
- Stop smoking and drinking alcohol. Nicotine and alcohol can impair your ability to heal and should be avoided before and after your surgery.
- Arrange for transportation. You’ll be unable to drive afterward and will need a trusted adult to bring you home. You’ll also need someone to stay with you for the first 24 hours.
- Get plenty of sleep. Make sure to get a good night’s rest the day before your surgery. Make sure to also prepare your home so you can return to a comfortable resting area after surgery.
- Stop taking blood-thinning and anti-inflammatory medications. These medications can affect your procedure and should be avoided. You may also need to adjust your prescription medications, too.
Breast Explant Surgery
Breast explant surgery is the complete removal of breast implants. It typically includes steps like fat transfer to “fill in” the pocket left by the implants to restore a natural look and feel to the breasts. It may involve an en bloc capsulectomy to remove scar tissue surrounding the implant.
Breast Implant Revision
Breast implant revision involves removing existing breast implants and inserting new ones. Some women opt for breast implant revision to try new implants or because they dislike the results they achieved with the initial augmentation.
Breast Explant Recovery
Recovery is the most important part of your journey. Breast explant recovery will be very similar to your initial augmentation. You’ll be given medications to manage any discomfort, as well as instructions on how to sleep, wash, and more. Wear your surgical bra as much as possible and focus on resting, avoiding strenuous activities. You can likely return to work within 1-2 weeks, but you’ll need 4-6 weeks of recovery before you can return to exercise. Within about six months, you should be able to appreciate your final results as the tissues heal and your breasts return to their natural state.
Within 4-6 weeks, you can begin to see your final result and feel the full impact of your new confidence.

Breast Lift
A breast lift is sometimes used to reposition the breasts and reduce sagging if your implants were too big and heavy. It can also reposition breast tissue to reshape the breast mound.
Internal Bra
An internal bra is a supportive structure used in breast revision and many other breast procedures. It can produce long-lasting support to the breasts to prevent drooping and sagging.
Fat Transfer to Breasts
Fat transfer to the breasts is often an important step in breast explant surgery. It uses your own fatty tissue from your stomach, hips, or thighs to replace volume – while also slimming your body at the same time.
