Breast explantation is a procedure designed for patients who decide not to have more breast implants. This aesthetic and reconstructive surgery is performed in several steps.
In this surgery, we not only seek to remove the implants and capsule completely, but also achieve an aesthetic result that preserves the breast proportion. It is important to note that breast explantation usually involves visible scars, especially in the early stages of healing. Over time, scars fade and become less visible.

During the first week, rest with movement is crucial to ensure proper healing. Dr. Rodríguez will provide detailed post-care instructions to help you manage discomfort and care for your incisions. Swelling and bruising are common and expected. Most patients can resume light activities within 10 days.
As the initial swelling and bruising subside, you will begin to see the first results. During this phase, you may return to work and engage in moderate activities, but it is essential to avoid heavy lifting, strenuous exercise, or any activity that puts pressure on the chest.
After one month, most of the swelling will have subsided. Over the next few months, the incisions will continue to heal.

A breast lift may be recommended if the skin has been significantly stretched due to implants. Removing implants without a lift can leave skin sagging or excess skin, and a lift can help restore a firm, youthful contour and ensure a balanced appearance.
While the procedure is generally safe, risks include infection, swelling, bleeding, changes in breast sensitivity, or dissatisfaction with the shape of the breasts. These risks are significantly reduced when the surgery is performed by an experienced plastic surgeon and when post-operative instructions are followed closely.
After the implant is removed, the breast tissue will be adjusted based on factors such as skin elasticity, the size of the implants and the length of time they were placed. In some cases, the breasts may appear deflated or saggy. Procedures, such as a breast lift or fat transfer, can help regain volume and shape.
Yes, some patients choose to replace their implants with a smaller or different type of implant instead of removing them completely. This option allows you to adjust the size while maintaining a fuller appearance. Discuss your goals with Dr. Rodriguez to determine the best approach.
Most patients can return to light activities, such as walking, within 1 to 2 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.
Capsulectomy involves removing the scar tissue (capsule) that forms around the implant. It is often done if the capsule has thickened (capsular contracture) or if there is concern that the implant will rupture or cause discomfort. This ensures a smoother and healthier recovery.
