Answer Snippet
Are drains required to prevent seroma after implant removal?
Drains after implant removal
Sep 9, 2019
In general, I use drains when doing an explantation, especially when performing a capsulectomy.
I like to explain it like this – The implant has created a cavity that the body needs time to heal. The drain helps to remove any extra fluid that the body puts into this space during the healing process.
Drains cannot completely prevent a seroma, but they can decrease the chance of it happening.
The drains are usually present for about a week, but this time period varies by how…
Capsulectomy or not? Risks of having it done or keeping capsule.
Capsulectomy or not?
Sep 9, 2019
Performing a capsulectomy at the time of implant removal really has to be tailored for each specific patient. The information needed includes the patient’s examination, implant status (ruptured or not), capsular contracture, pain or any other symptoms.
The general reasons that capsules are removed are due to capsular contracture or for ruptured silicone implants. They also are often removed by patient request. A total capsulectomy has a…
I need 20+ old and leaking implants removed. I want to have new ones but unsure due to my age (58).
Removing ruptured implants
Sep 9, 2019
Removing leaking/ruptured implants (and often the capsule that they are in) is usually advised. The decision about what to do after that is completely up to you. Replacing the implants with new implants is a good option if you are happy with the current appearance of your breasts. If you did desire a lift, they are usually well tolerated from a pain perspective.
When considering the risk of additional surgery, your overall health status is usually more…
Can my saline implants be drained and taken out through the original areas around the nipples?
Removal of saline implants
Sep 5, 2019
Your saline implants should be able to be drained and removed through your previous incisions. This can be done with numbing injections in an office setting.
If you have capsules that you would like removed, an incision underneath the breast is the generally accepted approach. This allows for most or all of the capsule to be removed safely. I recommend that you meet with a plastic surgeon in your area and discuss your options.
I had my first implants in 1999. In 2003 I had my second set of round, saline Allergen implants put
Saline implant removal
Sep 5, 2019
Removing the capsule surrounding a breast implant is usually done if there is a problem – contracture, pain, malposition, silicone implant rupture, etc. That said, patients often request that the capsule be removed. To take the capsule out en-bloc requires a larger incision than taking the implant and capsule out separately. Removing the entire capsule also has a larger chance of complications such as hematoma.
The decision of what to do needs to be made as part…
What should I expect – will my breasts be saggy? What would you recommend?
What to expect after explant
Sep 5, 2019
Thank you for the photos.
It is difficult to know how much your breasts will change after removal of your implants without a good examination and to see your pre-surgical photos. Your implants haven’t been in place for very long, so the chance is good that your tissues will shrink up to some degree. Everyone’s tissue is different, so this is the part that is really hard to predict. If you’re worried about being too large, the most conservative approach would be to…
Would explanting with total capsulectomy be more difficult now that my saline implants have been de
Deflated saline implant removal and capsulectomy
Sep 3, 2019
Thank you for the photos.
Total capsulectomy with removal of your deflated implants is possible, but if the capsules are very thin, removing the entire capsule may be more difficult.
Generally capsules are removed when they are causing a problem – distortion, pain, palpability, etc. If you’re not having symptoms like this, it may not really be indicated.
