Implant Removal
Safe Explantation & Breast Restoration
Implant removal (explantation) addresses concerns about existing breast implants, whether due to complications, personal preference, or desire for a more natural appearance. Dr. Karaaltin offers comprehensive solutions including removal with or without lift.
Implant Removal
Overview
01 // Why Remove Implants
Common reasons include capsular contracture, implant rupture, size/shape dissatisfaction, lifestyle changes, or desire to return to natural appearance.
02 // Capsulectomy Options
Total capsulectomy removes the scar tissue capsule completely; partial capsulectomy may be appropriate for certain cases.
03 // En Bloc Removal
For specific concerns, en bloc technique removes implant and capsule as one intact unit without opening the capsule.
04 // Combined with Lift
Many patients benefit from mastopexy (breast lift) at the time of removal to address tissue changes and restore shape.
05 // Natural Results
Post-removal, breasts may return to near-original state, though tissue changes depend on implant size and duration.
Implant removal is a deeply personal decision. Dr. Karaaltin provides thorough consultation to understand your goals and create a plan for optimal outcomes—whether that means simple removal, lift, or fat transfer for volume restoration.
