Implant Removal

Implant removal is a plastic surgery that removes the existing implants. There is considerable misinformation on the internet about the safety of the implants. The information and recommendations will vary dramatically. This can be very confusing to the concerned patient about what is the correct thing to do. The majority of the confusion is regarding the option of removing the implant capsule. This capsule is made by the body and is simply a physiologic membrane. Having been studying this situation for over 25 years, Dr Brown's opinion is weighted more on facts, science and experience rather than one web site's recommendations.






Concerns about implant removal?

There is a lymphoma (BIA-ALCL) that is very rare and is mostly associated with textured shelled implants. It is this concern that has compelled the complete removal of the capsule. Yet most patient's have smooth shelled implants. A smooth implant doesn't create the same internal tissue response that textured shells do. So this is not a 'white-black' issue. Taking the capsule is possible and done frequently, yet it is not always indicated. Dr. Brown will guide you through the process.

Testimonial

"After having multiple consultations in my hometown of Oklahoma City, I still was not 100% comfortable with choosing any of them for a third surgery. I found Dr. Brown by searching the internet. After being able to watch some of his surgeries via you tube, I scheduled a consultation. After meeting him I was more than confident that I wanted him to do the surgery. I am about a month post op now, and I am very pleased with the results." J.S.

What Are the Removal Options?

IMPLANT ALONE

There are instances when only the implant removal is required or requested. This is the most straight forward.

PARTIAL CAPSULE REMOVAL

In most cases, only a partial implant capsule removal is warranted.

COMPLETE CAPSULE REMOVAL

In cases of severe capsular contracture or illness concerns, this is done.

LIFT?

If your natural tissue is limited or skin envelope sags too much, then a lift maybe indicated.

How Much Does Explant or Implant Removal Cost?

The cost of implant removal or explant varies by geographic region and demand and a few other factors. In general, the cost of the surgery in the Northern Virginia / Washington DC area ranges from $4,500-$12,500. The price is ultimately determined by the experience of the plastic surgeon. It is based on your requests and attributes, if the entire implant capsule is to removed, is a lift needed or desired, and the facility and anesthesia fees. The surgeries can be much more expensive if an additional procedure is indicated. Revising or correcting previous surgeries is typically more expensive too. These are all specialties of Dr. Michael J Brown.
