Explantation, or breast implant removal surgery, is a surgical procedure aimed at removing breast implants from the breasts. It can involve the complete removal of implants without replacement or may include replacing them with different sizes or types based on the patient's preferences.
The procedure is typically performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon and may be accompanied by additional procedures such as capsulectomy (removal of scar tissue around the implant) or breast lift to optimize the cosmetic outcome.
Choosing to remove breast implants is a profoundly personal decision driven by aesthetic preferences, lifestyle considerations, or medical concerns. Women frequently turn to Dr. Reinblatt for her expertise in breast implant removal due to her reputation for precision, compassionate care, and natural-looking outcomes.
Common motivations for breast implant removal include:
In a simple breast implant removal, Dr. Reinblatt carefully removes the breast implants, leaving the surrounding capsule of scar tissue intact. This approach is often ideal for patients without complications who simply wish to return to their natural breast size or address aesthetic concerns.
A partial capsulectomy involves removing the breast implant along with portions of the surrounding scar capsule. Dr. Reinblatt typically recommends this method when there are localized issues, such as minor capsule thickening, mild discomfort, or slight cosmetic irregularities.
A total capsulectomy procedure involves removing the breast implants along with the entire capsule of scar tissue. This comprehensive approach is commonly performed to treat conditions like capsular contracture, significant scar tissue buildup, or Breast Implant Illness (BII) symptoms, providing thorough relief and optimal aesthetic results.
In an en bloc capsulectomy, Dr. Reinblatt removes the breast implant and the entire surrounding capsule together as a single unit. This meticulous technique is particularly beneficial for patients experiencing severe symptoms associated with BII or complications involving ruptured or compromised implants. By removing the implant and capsule intact, Dr. Reinblatt prioritizes safety, minimizes contamination, and facilitates optimal healing.
