Whether you are experiencing a complication such as capsular contracture (hardening of the implant), desiring a completely different size or brand profile, or simply wishing to remove your implants entirely and return to your profoundly natural state, Kensington Cosmetic Clinic offers elite, highly specialized Implant Removal (Explantation) and Replacement surgery.<\/p>\n\n

Removing older implants requires significant surgical delicacy. Dr. Hassan routinely performs an 'en bloc' or total capsulectomy, meticulously removing the entire scar-tissue capsule completely surrounding the old implant. This deeply critical step ensures no foreign material or hardened tissue remains. If replacing them, new, ultra-high-tier cohesive gel implants are immediately seated into a perfectly fresh, immaculate surgical pocket.<\/p>\n\n

The Explant and Lift<\/h3>\n\n
\n\"Implant\n<\/div>\n\n

For patients choosing the 'explant only' route, removing the heavy implants often leaves deeply stretched, empty skin. To completely avoid a deflated appearance, Dr. Hassan highly recommends performing a simultaneous Breast Lift (Mastopexy)<\/a>, utilizing your own remaining native tissue to reconstruct a beautiful, perky, and entirely natural small breast mound.<\/p>\n\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n \n

\n Step by Step<\/span>\n

Your Patient Journey<\/h2>\n <\/div>\n\n
\n
<\/div>\n \n
\n
<\/div>\n 01 \/ The Consultation<\/span>\n

The Surgical Blueprint<\/h4>\n

A deeply thorough examination, often including an ultrasound or MRI, to assess the profound integrity of your current implants and the volume of your native tissue available for reconstruction.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n\n

\n
<\/div>\n 02 \/ Preparation<\/span>\n

Complete Diagnostic<\/h4>\n

Thorough medical clearance. If replacing the implants, detailed sizing sessions utilizing 3D imaging are utilized to guarantee the new, flawless contour matches your incredibly evolved aesthetic desires.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n\n

\n
<\/div>\n 03 \/ The Procedure<\/span>\n

Excision & Refresh<\/h4>\n

Under general anesthesia, the old incision is re-opened. The implant and its surrounding capsule are masterfully extracted. The new implant is placed, or the breast is profoundly lifted and reshaped.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n\n

\n
<\/div>\n 04 \/ Recovery & Aftercare<\/span>\n

Deep Healing<\/h4>\n

The chest will feel tightly supported in the surgical garment. If it was a simple exchange, recovery is incredibly swift. If lifting was involved, 4-6 weeks of profound activity restriction is mandatory.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/section>\n\n \n
