Is Explant Surgery for You?

Individuals choose explant surgery for various reasons, and it's essential to determine if it's the right decision for you. Some common factors include:

  • Changes in personal preference, aesthetic goals, or lifestyle prompting you to desire a more natural look
  • Discomfort or complications, such as rupture or capsular contracture, making removal necessary
  • Medical considerations warranting the removal of breast implants
  • Implants exceeding their lifespan, requiring removal and replacement, depending on the type and manufacturer

How It Works

Your explant procedure will be tailored to your specific circumstances. Whether you have saline or silicone implants, our surgeons will create a personalized plan to remove them safely. The techniques used can vary based on your unique needs and goals.

Saline Implant Removal

Saline implants are typically easier to remove, as they can be deflated before extraction. Your surgeon will make small incisions, deflate the implants, and carefully remove them.

Silicone Implant Removal

Removing silicone implants may require slightly larger incisions to ensure complete removal. Your surgeon will also assess the condition of the implant and surrounding tissue.

Your Recovery Process

Immediate Post-Op & Day of

After your explantation procedure, you will be carefully monitored in a recovery area. You may experience discomfort, swelling, or pain, which you can manage with appropriate medications. Your surgical team will ensure your comfort and well-being.

Following Days

The first few days following explantation may involve rest and avoiding strenuous activities. You may experience some bruising and swelling, which can be addressed with ice packs and prescribed pain relief.

One Week

Around one week post-surgery, you'll return for a follow-up appointment at Athēnix in Fresno. Your surgeon will assess your healing progress and guide your recovery journey.

Two Weeks

Around the two-week mark, most can return to work and engage in light activities. However, it's essential to continue avoiding heavy lifting and strenuous exercise to promote healing.

Six Weeks

Six weeks following explantation, you can usually resume most normal activities, including exercise, while avoiding movements that strain the chest area too much. Your breasts will start to settle into their natural state.

Three Months

Around the three-month mark, you will have another follow-up appointment with your Athēnix surgeon. Any remaining discomfort or swelling should resolve by this time.

Six Months

At six months post-explantation, you'll have fully healed, and any residual signs of the procedure, such as scarring, will continue to fade. This is when you can fully enjoy the benefits of your explant procedure.
