During the procedure, the surgeon removes the breast implant and all of the surrounding scar tissue (referred to as a capsule). The procedure is typically performed in an outpatient setting.<br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/-qbitlco_Eg\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3>Who is a candidate?<\/h3>\n<p>Any patient who is experiencing complications associate with their breast implants is a candidate for explant surgery regardless of whether their implants were placed for cosmetic purposes or for breast reconstruction following breast cancer surgery. Typical reasons patients choose to have their breast implants removed include:<br \/>\n\u2022 Capsular contracture<br \/>\n\u2022 Visible implant rippling (the appearance of \"waves\" or \"creases\" under the skin)<br \/>\n\u2022 Implant rupture<br \/>\n\u2022 Asymmetry<br \/>\n\u2022 Breast Implant Illness (BII)<br \/>\n\u2022 Breast Implant-Associated Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma (BIA-ALCL), or significant fear of developing the disease<\/p>\n<h3>Are there alternative implant options for patients who no longer want implants?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes! Patients who had their implants placed cosmetically and still desire additional volume after removing their implants may benefit from fat grafting. Fat grafting is a technique that involves removing fat from one area of the body via liposuction, purifying the fat, then reinjecting it into the breast area. For patients who had their implants placed for breast reconstruction following a mastectomy, implants are not the only option to reconstruct a breast following breast cancer. Natural implant-alternative options include procedures like the DIEP flap which use the patient\u2019s own skin and fat from the lower abdominal area to recreate the breast.<br \/>\n<iframe
