"Safe explantation of breast implants — with or without capsulectomy. The procedure can be combined with a lift to restore natural breast shape after removal."
Your journey
Assessment
Imaging to evaluate implant integrity, capsule condition, and remaining tissue.
Planning
Decision on total vs. partial capsulectomy, and whether a simultaneous lift is needed.
Explantation
Implants removed through original incisions where possible. Capsule addressed as planned.
Reshaping
Remaining tissue repositioned. Lift performed if indicated.
Recovery
2–4 weeks of restricted activity. Final result seen at 3–6 months.
Rehabilitation
Hospital
Monitoring, drains if needed.
At home
Supportive bra. Restricted activity.
Review
Suture removal, result assessment.
Activity
Return to work and light activity.
Result
Breast shape stabilises.
Scar progression
How the scar changes — from surgery to final result
Scars are placed within natural skin folds and become virtually unnoticeable over time. Proper care and sun protection speed up the fading process. For most patients, the scar blends with the surrounding skin within 12–18 months.
Suture removal
The scar is pink-red and slightly raised. Scar care begins — silicone gel or tape.
Active healing
Colour darkens to deep pink. The scar may thicken — this is normal. Avoid sun exposure and wear compression garments.
Maturation
The scar lightens, softens, and flattens. Itching and heightened sensitivity fade.
Final appearance
The scar takes on a silvery-beige tone and becomes barely visible, aligning with underwear lines.
