Considering Breast Implant Removal Surgery?
Breast implant removal surgery, also known as explantation, involves the removal of previously placed breast implants, with or without surrounding capsule tissue. Women consider implant removal for a variety of reasons, including capsular contracture, implant rupture, implant-related concerns, lifestyle changes, or a desire for aesthetic adjustment.
