Explant or Implant Removal #49627

This is an explant case for a 48-year-old woman who had visibly large implants with significant skin stretch before surgery. The plan combined full implant removal with capsulectomy, meaning the scar tissue capsule surrounding each implant was removed as well. Muscle repair was performed to address the pocket created by prior submuscular placement, and a breast lift was added to reposition the nipple-areola complex and remove excess skin left after the volume reduction. You're looking at the three-month photo, where the breasts sit higher on the chest wall and the nipples are repositioned compared to the before image. Healing at this stage is still ongoing. Call 904-262-3372 if you'd like to talk through whether this approach fits your situation.
