Breast explant surgery, or breast implant removal, is a surgical procedure that involves removing breast implants and potentially addressing any related complications. 

Explants can be performed for various reasons, including medical concerns, aesthetic preferences, or a desire to return to a more natural appearance. The decision to remove your implants can be complex, emotional, and involved. Dr. Reddy is incredibly understanding of that process and is happy to discuss your options.

At Reddy Plastic Surgery, Dr. Karishma Reddy, our skilled plastic surgeon specializing in breast and body aesthetics, offers safe and effective breast explant solutions to help women achieve their goals.

Depending on a patient’s goals, sometimes a breast lift with fat grafting is needed in addition to a breast implant removal to restore the natural shape of the breast.
