Breast implant removal (explantation) is chosen for many reasons: a lifestyle change, medical concerns, or simply personal preference. Dr. Fabio offers both simple explant and en bloc capsulectomy (complete capsule removal) techniques depending on your anatomy and goals, and the procedure can be performed alone or paired with a lift to preserve a natural, youthful contour.

Technique & Recovery
Explantation surgery generally takes 1 to 2 hours for a simple removal, or longer when a full capsulectomy is performed to remove the surrounding scar tissue capsule as well. Many patients choose to combine explantation with a lift in the same surgery to address the skin laxity left behind once implant volume is removed, avoiding a second recovery period. Most people return to light activity within a week.
