Breast Explantation without Deformity
Newport Beach, CA

Many women, for a variety of different reasons, desire to remove their breast implants.  One of the biggest concerns is “how will my breasts look after removing my implants”?  Dr Q’s Breast Flaps after Explants offers an innovative and personal approach to addressing a common concern for women undergoing explant surgery.

What is Breast Explantation?

Many women, for a variety of different reasons, desire to remove their breast implants.  One of the biggest concerns is “how will my breasts look after removing my implants”?  Even more concerning is the fear that a woman’s breasts may even look “deformed” after explanations alone.  The typical acquired deformity that we  as Plastic Surgeons “warn about” after explanations- is the volume loss that can sometimes create a “concave in” deformity- or “caved-in” look of the upper and central breast- the area of volume loss behind the nipple after removing the implant.  This type of volume loss can NOT be corrected with breast lifts alone.  For the appropriate candidate, Dr Q has taken her knowledge and training in Breast Reconstructive surgery to help prevent this look and acquired deformity.  By performing a new and intuitive, intraoperative technique, Dr Q performs a re-arrangement of the soft-tissues of the breasts to create a fuller-looking breast- particularly in the specific area of volume loss after removing the breast implants.  By transposing a patient’s own tissues into the “cavity” created by the explants, Dr Q gives women a much prettier and fuller yet natural-looking breast result after explanations

Am I A Candidate for Breast Explant Surgery?

Not every woman who decides on explantation will be an ideal candidate for Dr Q’s breast flaps procedure. This process is specifically designed for individuals experiencing significant volume loss, resulting in a ‘caved-in’ appearance that a breast lift cannot correct. The decision to use this procedure would be determined through a comprehensive consultation with Dr Q. Factors like your medical history, lifestyle, body size, shape, and goals will play a role in determining if this is the right procedure for you.

Breast Explant Recovery

Following the procedure, a personalized recovery plan will be developed for each patient, tailored to their unique needs. The recovery for this procedure is similar to breast lift recovery, as you will not be able to perform any heavy lifting for two weeks. In the first few weeks following surgery, some discomfort and swelling may be present but will subside gradually. Any necessary aftercare, including wound care and pain management will be thoroughly explained before surgery. Dr Q tries to avoid drains whenever possible, and typically women who have this procedure do not need any drains. It is essential to adhere to all instructions and keep follow-up appointments to ensure optimal healing and the best aesthetic outcome. Importantly, your emotional well-being is just as critical in your recovery. Dr Q and her team are there to provide psychological support throughout your recovery, helping to ensure a holistic approach to healing. Dr Q’s Breast Flaps after Explants offers an innovative and personal approach to addressing a common concern for women undergoing explant surgery. The goal is to leave patients not only looking good but feeling even better. Dr Q’s patients are amazed at just how full and pretty their breasts look after explantation with her “PPP” Breast Flap (Pretty, Perky, Petal Procedure)- and they get to achieve this look with NO replacement implants and ALL of their own, native tissue! By making the decision to pursue this transformative surgery, women can confidently choose the path towards a happier, healthier self.–
