Dr. Debbie is AMAZING! She was very thorough in her assessment and has such a gentle hand. She is also super sweet, knowledgeable, kind, and fun! I have seen her previously for my lips and I recommend her to everyone!

Dr Ford was extremely kind and patient. She listens well and explains thoroughly. I appreciated your expertise and guidance making decisions. All the staff I encountered acted professionally. My entire experience from consultation to follow up was as good as I hoped it would be. My surgery result is as promised.

Very thorough consultation, and I appreciate doctor for taking the time as I did not feel rushed at all

Dr. Ford is amazing and very professional. She took her time to explain everything to me. I felt so at ease through the a whole procedure. The anesthesiologist (Can’t remember his name) was amazing as well very professional. Thank you to all for such an amazing experience. [Single best thing is...] The outcome

I love Dr. Debbie. She is wonderful and I have been going to her for three years now. Shes the best!!!

Debbie was super nice and listened to what I wanted. She took her time to give me the results I love. She's amazing

Each employee that I interacted with was very kind and welcoming. What stood out to me was the call I received from Vinny prior to my appointment where she gave me lots of information on the facility and Dr. Ford. Dr. Ford and Vinny are both kind and very thorough when they deliver information to prospective and current patients. They always made themselves available if I had any questions or concerns and I never once felt pressured or rushed during my appointment or decision making process. I love that I was able to spend time with Dr. Ford herself during my initial consultation. Getting to interact with the person who could potentially be performing a surgery on you makes you feel much more comfortable and reassured versus only interacting with another employee who would not be performing the surgery. The entire experience was amazing and I have no criticisms or suggestions for improvement.

Dr. Debbie is always very detailed with exposing the process of my treatment. This was the first time I had lip filler. She was so patient with all of my questions and explained follow up steps, possible side effects and what to expect during the procedure. She gave me a squeeze ball and some other tool to ease my anxiety. I am extremely happy with my results as well.

Great consultation. Dr Debbie was thorough and considerate of my concerns and wish list. My treatment was fast and pain free. The results are better than previous injectors at other locations not associated with this office.

The results are what I was hoping for. I feel so much better and comfortable in my body. Dr. Ford is very kind and she seemed to care about me and my results. I’m a pretty modest person but she made me feel comfortable and not judged. After the surgery I no longer feel embarrassed by how my breasts look.

Your breast explant procedure

Renuance performs breast implant removal in our fully accredited, on-site surgical center for the highest level of safety and comfort. We have a private entrance for discretion. The 2-3 hour outpatient procedure uses general anesthesia. Your surgeon removes the implants, often with the scar tissue capsules, and reshapes the remaining breast tissue. You’ll recover in a private room with personalized nursing care before returning home the same day.

Breast removal surgery expertise

Our plastic surgeons are skilled in performing en bloc capsulectomy, a technique that removes the implant and surrounding scar tissue in one piece. This approach is beneficial if you have concerns about implant rupture, leakage, or contamination. With experience in complex revision cases, our surgeons ensure a clean removal of your implants, providing you with the best possible outcome for your health.

Implant exchange in one procedure

If you’re considering replacing your current implants with new ones, our surgeons can perform the removal and replacement in a single session. This approach saves you time and money, eliminating the need for multiple rounds of anesthesia.

Breast Implant Removal Frequently Asked Questions

What happens during breast explant surgery?

Your board-certified Renuance plastic surgeon will remove your breast implants and surrounding scar tissue, known as the capsule, using a technique called en bloc capsulectomy when possible. They may reshape the remaining breast tissue and perform a breast lift to restore a natural, aesthetic shape and position to your breasts.

What happens after breast implant removal?

Once you’re ready to leave our private recovery suite, we can coordinate your ride back to your home or hotel, making your transition as smooth and stress-free as possible.

How long is recovery after breast implant removal?

Most patients return to light daily activities within a week of explant surgery. Expect some swelling, bruising and discomfort that improves over 2-3 weeks. Your surgeon will advise when you can resume exercise and other strenuous activities, usually after at least one month. Final results develop over several months as swelling fully subsides and tissues settle.

Will I need a breast lift with implant removal?

After years of having implants, many women experience sagging skin and loss of volume when they are removed. A breast lift is commonly combined with implant removal surgery to eliminate excess skin, reshape breast tissue, and restore a perkier, more youthful appearance. Your surgeon will advise if a lift will help you achieve optimal results.

What are the risks of breast implant removal?

As with any surgery, explant carries risks like infection, bleeding, poor scarring and anesthesia complications. Choosing a board-certified plastic surgeon and accredited surgical center greatly reduces these risks. Other considerations include changes in breast shape, size and symmetry, nipple sensation, and possible need for revision surgery.

How much does breast implant removal cost?

The cost of breast implant removal surgery in Temecula varies depending on the complexity of the procedure, surgical technique, and whether a breast lift or implant exchange is also performed. On average, patients can expect to pay between $3,000-$8,000. During your consultation, you’ll receive a detailed price quote based on your unique surgical plan. We offer flexible financing options through CareCredit, Alphaeon, and PatientFi to help make your procedure more affordable. These options allow you to split the cost into manageable monthly payments, with some plans offering low or no interest rates for qualified applicants.

Am I a candidate for breast explant surgery in Temecula?

If you are experiencing complications from breast implants, no longer want them for personal or medical reasons, or desire to return to your natural breast size and shape, you may be a candidate for breast implant removal. A consultation with a Renuance board-certified plastic surgeon is the best way to determine if explant is right for you.
