For when you desire a new cup size or wish to remove your implants altogether.
Many undergo a breast augmentation at one stage of life, but wish to remove or change the size of their implants as time goes on. In some cases, the implants may pose a health risk, or they may have ruptured. Whatever the reason, the world-class surgeons at The Spiegel Center in Newton, Massachusetts, can replace implants or remove them entirely in what’s known as a breast explant.
A breast explant (also called breast implant removal) is a cosmetic procedure used to remove breast implants from the body. The breast implants are carefully taken out, and the breasts are returned to their natural appearance. In some cases, it may be beneficial to pair explant surgery with a breast lift.
During your consultation, your seasoned, board-certified surgeon will look over the records of your primary breast augmentation procedure. They will listen to your goals for the explant procedure, and perform a comprehensive evaluation. A suitable treatment plan will be created to help remove your breast implants and achieve the results you want. If there are complications due to your breast implants, the breast explant procedure may be scheduled as soon as possible.
The duration of the breast explant procedure depends on the treatment plan and the condition of the implants and surrounding tissues. Anesthesia will be administered as part of the procedure. Incisions will then be made based on the treatment plan to access the breast implants. The incisions created for the primary breast augmentation will most likely be the ones used for explant surgery. The breast implants and capsules (fibrous body tissue formation around the implant) will then be removed. Lastly, the incisions will be carefully sutured closed.
The cost of a breast explant procedure can vary depending on the treatment plan. We help our patients with financing through our partners at Prosper Healthcare Lending and CareCredit so the price of the operation will be affordable.
