What is Explant Surgery? If you are unhappy with the size and shape of your breast implants, you might be wondering what is explant surgery. There are three main groups of people who can benefit from this surgery. You may have outgrown your implants, experienced complications or changes to the implant over time, or have undergone a mastectomy and reversal of the breast augmentation. Explant surgery can help you overcome these problems. Read on to find out more about this surgical procedure.
Anchor breast lift
The Anchor breast lift is similar to a vertical breast lift except for one main difference: the surgeon will make an additional incision along the underside of each breast. This additional incision allows the surgeon to remove more excess skin and tissue and alter the shape of the breasts. Women with large breast implants may be a good candidates for an anchor lift. This surgery can result in dramatic improvements in breast shape. It is often performed in conjunction with a breast reduction procedure.

Capsular contracture
A capsulectomy, which is also known as a breast implant surgery, is a surgical procedure that is used to correct capsular contracture. It is possible to suffer from capsular contracture shortly after surgery or even several years later. In both cases, the affected breast is either soft and natural-looking, or it may feel slightly firm and painful to touch. As with all breast implant surgeries, imaging tests may be ordered.
Implant migration
There are numerous possible causes for implant migration after transplant surgery. Implants may move out of place before they have had enough time to heal. This can be particularly problematic for large vascular or stabilizing vertebrae. Eventually, the implant will migrate into the surrounding tissue, causing damage. In some instances, second transplant surgery is needed to fix the defect. This article will provide you with a detailed description of the various causes of implant migration.
Skin “rippling” around implants
Rippling skin around breast implants can be frustrating and should be discussed with your surgeon. If the rippling is particularly severe, you may be able to improve the rippling by changing the placement of your implants. Dr. Ennis and his team are available to discuss your options. Read on to learn more about the different ways to reduce or eliminate rippling skin around your implants.
Cost
The cost of a transplant surgery depends on several factors, including the type of hospital, whether it is a government hospital or private, and whether the patient travels abroad. For pediatric patients, for example, the surgery will likely require more intensive care and longer hospital stays. Additionally, transplant surgery is a complex procedure that requires a great deal of monitoring for GVHD disease and other issues, such as bacterial and fungal infections. The patient’s local commute will also affect the cost of the surgery.
Recovery time
A kidney transplant takes approximately four to six weeks to complete. A patient stays in the hospital for five to seven days, depending on the severity of the condition. After the procedure, they will be able to drive again and return to work, but they will not be able to lift anything heavier than a baby stroller or heavy object. After the transplant, patients will take about six to eight weeks off work and will have to take special medication to prevent rejection. They will also have to visit the doctor several times a week, though this will gradually decrease.
