Dr Hill was thorough and made me feel comfortable. Dr Hill made me feel that he genuinely cared for my health and wanted to ensure that I was well informed about the procedure, and what would yield the best results. I had 3 consultations prior to going to Renuance and thought that I may have found the Dr I wanted to perform my surgery but after I spoke to Dr Hill, I chose Renuance.

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.
