Breast Implant Removal at Light Plastic Surgery Clinic

Have you been considering removing your breast implants due to lifestyle changes, medical concerns, or simply a shift in your aesthetic preferences? Breast implant removal—also known as explant surgery—is a highly personal decision that deserves expert care, understanding, and precision.

At Light Plastic Surgery Clinic, we are dedicated to guiding you through this process with empathy and professionalism. Whether you're experiencing discomfort or are ready for a natural look, our team is here to support you every step of the way with tailored solutions and world-class surgical expertise.

Why Choose Breast Implant Removal?

Women choose to remove their implants for a variety of physical and emotional reasons, including:

• Personal preference or change in lifestyle
• Capsular contracture (scar tissue hardening)
• Implant rupture or leakage
• Concerns about breast implant illness (BII)
• Discomfort or asymmetry
• Aging of implants or changes in breast tissue over time

Whatever your reason, our clinic focuses on helping you regain comfort, confidence, and control over your body.

Customized Approach to Your Explant Procedure

At Light Plastic Surgery Clinic, no two explant surgeries are alike. We customize your treatment plan based on your implant type, health condition, and desired aesthetic outcome.

Available Surgical Options:

• Simple Explantation: Removal of implants without removing surrounding capsule tissue.
• Capsulectomy: Partial or total removal of the scar tissue capsule, often recommended in cases of contracture.
• En Bloc Capsulectomy: Removal of the implant and capsule in one piece, often used if rupture or illness is suspected.
• Implant Removal + Lift: Combines explant with a breast lift (mastopexy) to restore shape and firmness after implant removal.

Your surgeon will evaluate the most appropriate method during your consultation to ensure the safest and most aesthetically pleasing result.

Consultation and Planning

Your initial consultation at Light Plastic Surgery Clinic will focus on your health, goals, and concerns. We aim to help you make a confident and informed decision about your procedure.

During the consultation, we will:

• Review your medical and surgical history
• Examine the current condition of your implants and breast tissue
• Discuss your reasons for removal and expected outcomes
• Explore whether additional procedures like a lift or fat grafting are appropriate
• Answer any questions you may have regarding risks, benefits, and recovery

Our mission is to create a supportive, pressure-free environment where your needs come first.

The Procedure: What to Expect

Breast implant removal is typically performed under general anesthesia as an outpatient procedure.

Surgical Steps:

• Incision Placement: Often along the original augmentation scar to minimize new scarring
• Implant Removal: Carefully extracted along with capsule tissue if needed
• Optional Lift or Reshaping: Performed if discussed during consultation
• Closure and Dressing: Sutures are placed, and a surgical bra is applied

The surgery generally takes 1–3 hours depending on complexity, and you’ll return home the same day.

Recovery and Aftercare

Recovery from explant surgery is usually smooth and manageable. Mild swelling, bruising, and tenderness are common in the first few weeks.

Aftercare Guidelines:

• Wear a compression or support bra as directed
• Limit upper body activity for 2–3 weeks
• Avoid strenuous exercise for 4–6 weeks
• Follow your surgeon’s personalized care instructions
• Attend all scheduled follow-up appointments to monitor healing

Our clinic is committed to providing compassionate post-operative care to help you feel secure and supported during your recovery.

Natural and Restorative Results

Our goal is to ensure that your breasts look balanced and natural after implant removal. Whether you prefer a completely natural look or want to combine your procedure with a lift or fat grafting, our surgeons use advanced techniques to optimize symmetry, contour, and scarring.

Many patients report feeling physically lighter, more comfortable, and more in tune with their bodies following surgery.
