Breast Implant Removal in St. Louis, MO

Breast implant removal, commonly referred to as explant surgery, is a procedure aimed at removing existing breast implants. Patients may choose this surgery to resolve complications or simply to achieve a different aesthetic. 

At Amelia St. Louis, our experienced surgeons, including board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Rafi Fredman and plastic surgeon Dr. Alan Tom, are dedicated to providing tailored solutions to meet your unique goals.

During the procedure, patients may have the option of undergoing an en-bloc capsulectomy, where the surrounding scar tissue capsule is removed alongside the implants. This option is particularly beneficial for those dealing with complications related to their implants.

Amelia St. Louis prioritizes personalized care, ensuring that your specific needs and objectives are addressed. After surgery, many patients find themselves able to return to non-strenuous work within a few days, with a full recovery typically occurring within six weeks. 

You may notice an immediate change in the shape and feel of your breasts, with results becoming clearer as any post-surgical swelling subsides.

• Recovery and aesthetic results change drastically depending upon which version of the surgery is selected.
• Day of Surgery
  Simple removal can be done awake and has almost zero recovery.
• 7-10 Days
  A full en-bloc capsulectomy requires more restrictions and recovery, though this varies dramatically based on the specifics of your operation.
• 0-2 Weeks
  Your surgeon will help you know what you can do during recovery but most activities can be resumed fairly quickly unless another procedure is done at the same time or you elect an en-bloc capsulectomy.
• Results
  ‍Results evolve depending upon which version of the surgery you have and whether or not you have an additional procedure like implant exchange or a lift. The results can appear very quickly, like with implant exchange or simple removal, or over months with a complex exchange, a lift or an en bloc capsulectomy.
