In explant surgery, the mindset is to always prepare for the worst-case scenario. This means assuming the possibility of a ruptured implant, fluid accumulation, or even lymphoma, regardless of imaging. The goal is a definitive, one-time procedure. Meticulous dissection and an 'en bloc' removal are paramount to prevent leakage and ensure all removed materials are thoroughly tested for pathology and cultures.

The standard incision is made horizontally at the bottom of the breast, hidden within the natural crease. This technique avoids cutting into breast tissue and is typically placed below the muscle layer for optimal results.

Many believe breast implants are a one-time surgery and require no further attention. However, the FDA mandates routine follow-up appointments for ongoing examination and to discuss any implant-related issues. Do not be misled by claims of 'dying with your implants'; ongoing surveillance is essential.

Most patients aren't fully informed about the long-term implications of breast implants, including necessary repeated imaging and potential complications. Many discover these details only after surgery, highlighting a critical gap in pre-operative discussions about benefits, risks, and alternatives.
