Good Candidates for Explant Surgery
Health-conscious patients concerned about the potential risks associated with breast implants are ideal candidates. Additionally, those who prefer a more natural breast appearance or have changed their aesthetic goals often consider explant surgery. Candidates should also have good overall health to ensure a smooth recovery process.
Preparing for Your Explant Surgery
Preparing for explant surgery involves several essential steps to ensure a successful procedure and recovery. Discuss your medical history, current medications, and any concerns with Dr. Tehrani during your consultation. Additionally, plan for post-operative care and arrange for support during the initial recovery period to ensure you have the necessary assistance.
What is Explant Surgery?
Explant surgery, also known as breast implant removal, involves the surgical removal of breast implants with or without the removal of the breast capsule. This procedure can be performed for various reasons, including addressing complications such as:
- Capsular contracture
- Implant rupture
- Health concerns related to breast implants
- Back/Neck/Shoulder pain from large breast implants
- Breast Implant Illness
Explant surgery can also be performed for personal reasons, such as a change in aesthetic preferences or lifestyle.
What to Expect From Explant Surgery Consultation
During your consultation with Dr. Tehrani, patients will have their health, medical history, and aesthetic goals evaluated to determine their suitability for explant surgery. Patients can address any questions or concerns about the surgery, recovery, and expected outcomes.
Explant Surgery Procedure
The explant surgery procedure typically includes several key steps to ensure patient safety and comfort. To minimize scarring, an incision is made, often in the exact location of the original breast implant surgery. The breast implants are then carefully removed, and if necessary, the surrounding scar tissue (commonly called the capsule) is also excised.
Recovery from explant surgery generally involves several stages to ensure optimal healing and results. Patients may experience swelling, bruising, and discomfort, which can be managed with prescribed medications. It’s important to avoid strenuous activities and heavy lifting for several weeks to allow proper healing.
Depending on their recovery, most patients can gradually return to normal activities within a few weeks. Following these guidelines helps ensure a smooth and successful recovery process.
