Breast explant is the removal of breast implants, typically performed to restore the breasts to their pre-implant size and address symptoms or concerns related to previous implant procedures. Dr. Austin specializes in the en bloc technique, ensuring the complete removal of implants and breast capsules for optimal results.

Recovery is similar to that of breast augmentation, with a need for rest and possible use of drains.
Healing takes several weeks, with detailed aftercare instructions provided.
Once removed, implants are gone permanently. Many patients report improved health and satisfaction with their new appearance.
BNo, having your breast implants removed is no more dangerous than any other routine surgery you may undergo. The risks associated with breast explant surgery are limited to an adverse reaction to anesthesia, bleeding, infection and poor healing. Dr. Austin will closely monitor your healing process following your breast explant to minimize the risks of your breast explant.
The recovery period following your breast explant surgery may very well feel like the recovery process from your initial breast implant or breast augmentation surgery. The healing process may take several weeks, and you may have drains following your explant. It’s important to be prepared to take some time off of work to ensure your body has time to heal properly.
This really depends on the amount of natural breast tissue you have. Some women whose breast implants weren’t very large do not need a lift following their breast explant surgery. Other women who may have had larger implants may require a breast lift to compensate for the skin that stretched to compensate for their larger breasts.
Typically, you will have to wear a compression bra at all times for the first two weeks following your breast explant surgery. This compression bra is specially designed to help reduce swelling and aid your breast tissue and skin in forming over your new breasts.
