Breast Explant Surgery in Barranquilla
Breast explant surgery is the removal of breast implants, with or without subsequent reshaping. A personal decision that I support without judgment and with all the information on the table.
What is breast explant surgery?
Breast explant surgery is the procedure that removes breast implants. The reasons are very varied: a ruptured or contracted implant, physical discomfort, changes over time, or simply the desire to return to what’s natural.
Depending on the case, in addition to the implant, the capsule—the scar tissue that the body forms around it—is removed and, when appropriate, the breast is reshaped in the same procedure with a lift or with your own fat to restore the shape.
It’s not taking a step backward: it’s making a decision about your body. My job is to explain honestly how your breasts may look after removal and what options you have so you feel good about the result.

Breast explant surgery allows for safe removal of implants, evaluating the best alternatives to preserve breast shape and achieve a harmonious result.
What the Breast Explant Surgery Process Is Like
Assessment
We discuss your reasons and evaluate the implants, capsule, skin, and breast shape. Here the technique is defined and whether it’s appropriate to reshape in the same procedure.
Preparation
Comprehensive preoperative tests and, when appropriate, a pre-surgical regenerative plan to ensure you are in the best possible condition.
Surgery
Removal of the implant and, when indicated, the capsule. If agreed upon, the lift or fat transfer is performed in the same surgery.
Follow-up care
Support bra, postoperative follow-ups, and technology to care for healing until the final result.
Honesty About How the Breasts Look
The most important point of explantation is understanding what happens afterward. When the implant is removed, the breast loses the volume it provided and the skin, depending on its elasticity, may have some sagging.
My approach is to anticipate this clearly. In many cases, a lift or a bit of your own fat in the same surgery restores a beautiful, natural shape. In others, it’s better to wait and reevaluate. I give you complete information so you can decide calmly, not to sell you an additional procedure.
