What is an implant removal?
Breast implant removal is a procedure designed for patients who choose not to keep their breast implants. This cosmetic and reconstructive surgery is performed in several steps.
First, the implants are removed along with the capsule of tissue the body has formed around them. Then, the breast shape is reconstructed using the remaining tissue and, in most cases, fat grafting to optimize volume and symmetry.
This surgery aims not only to completely remove the implants and capsule but also to achieve an aesthetically pleasing result that maintains breast proportion. It’s important to note that breast implant removal usually results in visible scarring, especially in the early stages of recovery. Over time, these scars fade and become less noticeable.
Why choose breast explantation?
Breast implant removal allows women to take out their implants and regain an appearance that better reflects how they feel.

What to expect during the procedure
Personalized consultation
Start with a personalized consultation with Dr. Rodríguez, who will evaluate your objectives, your anatomy and your general health to design a surgical plan tailored to you. You'll also receive pre-operative instructions to prepare you properly.
The surgical procedure
On the day of your surgery, you'll be given general anesthesia to ensure your comfort. The procedure consists of removing the implants together with the capsule that the body has formed around them. Then, we reconstruct the shape of the breast using the remaining tissue and, in most cases, lipografts to optimize volume and symmetry.
Recovery and aftercare
After surgery, you can go home the same day. Swelling and discomfort are temporary, improving within a few weeks. Dr. Rodriguez will give you care instructions and follow up. Most resume light activities in a week and return to normal activities within 8 weeks.

What are the risks of breast explantation surgery?
While the procedure is generally safe, risks include infection, swelling, bleeding, changes in breast sensitivity, or dissatisfaction with the shape of the breasts. At the consultation with Dr. Rodriguez, all of these risks will be discussed in detail, so that you have a full understanding and can make an informed decision.
How soon can I exercise or return to normal activities?
Most patients can return to light activities, such as walking, within 2 to 3 weeks. Strenuous activities, heavy lifting, or upper body exercise should be avoided for 4 to 6 weeks, or until the surgeon approves. Following recovery instructions is essential for optimal healing and results.
