About Breast Explant Surgery
Breast explant surgery is an involved procedure that needs to be performed by a board certified plastic surgeon. The surgery entails the removal of the breast implant often together with the surrounding scar tissue (capsule). Your surgeon will use incisions to remove the implant usually along the same incision sites as your original augmentation. Dr. Vemula takes extra care to minimize the risk of extensive scarring or other complications of the treatment. Once the existing implants are removed, the patient may choose to have them replaced with a newer 5th generation implant or receive a mastopexy (breast lift) in order to remove excess skin and repositioning the areola for a more aesthetic appearance. Treatment is highly individualized to the preferences and needs of each patient.
The procedure takes approximately 2-4 hours to complete, and patients are required to wear a compression bra to protect their breasts over the first few weeks. Following the procedure, you will need a responsible adult to drive you home and help out with daily tasks over the first 72 hours following surgery. The surgeon will also provide strict post-operative care instructions that you should strictly adhere to for proper healing.
