About breast implant removal

Breast implant removal, or explant, takes out existing implants. It may be done alone, with a lift to address the skin left behind, or with replacement implants.

What happens to the shape afterwards depends on how much natural tissue you have and how long the implants have been in. A frank conversation about that is the most useful part of the consultation.

Techniques and approaches

The same procedure name covers different operations. These are the approaches a clinic will offer, and what separates them.

Simple removal

Implants removed, capsule left in place. The shortest operation.

Removal with capsulectomy

The scar-tissue capsule removed alongside the implant. Longer, and indicated in specific circumstances.

En-bloc removal

Implant and capsule taken out as one intact unit. More involved, and not always possible.

Removal with lift

A mastopexy at the same time to address the skin left behind.

Removal and replacement

New implants placed in the same operation.

The decisions you will make

These come up at consultation. Knowing them beforehand makes the conversation shorter and the plan clearer.

What happens to the shape

Ask the surgeon to describe honestly what you will look like without them. This is the question people most often avoid asking.

Capsule or not

Removing the capsule is a bigger operation. Ask why it is or is not being recommended in your case.

Lift at the same time

It adds cost and scarring, and often it is what makes the result acceptable.

What the trip involves

Clinics vary, and your clinician’s plan overrides anything on this page. The shape is consistent.

  1. 1Before you fly

    Photographs, measurements and history by email, then a video consultation. Nothing is fixed until you are examined in person.

  2. 2Day 1

    Consultation, examination, bloods and pre-operative checks. This is where the plan — and therefore the price — can change.

  3. 3Surgery

    Usually the day after the assessment. Most people stay one night where an overnight bed is part of the plan.

  4. 4Recovery

    Rest, dressing changes and wound checks. Expect to do very little.

  5. 5Final review

    Sutures and dressings checked, and clearance to fly. This appointment is why the trip is around 8 days rather than three.

  6. 6Back home

    Swelling settles over weeks. Agree before you leave who you contact and how.

Ask these before you pay a deposit

Formatted as a numbered list, ready to email a clinic.
  1. Who is treating me, and what are their qualifications?

    A clinic name is not a clinician. Ask for the individual, their registration, and how often they do this procedure.

  2. What is included in the price, and what is not?

    Facility fees, anaesthesia, materials, medication, follow-up appointments and take-home items are often quoted separately.

  3. Is the deposit refundable, and under what conditions?

    Including if the clinic reschedules, or if the in-person assessment changes the plan.

  4. What if it needs correcting?

    Ask for the policy in writing: who pays, within what window, and whether it covers a return trip.

  5. Who do I contact after I go home, and in what language?

    A name, a channel, and an expected response time. Aftercare that ends at the airport is not aftercare.

Questions

Is the price on this page a quote?

No. It is a starting price — the published figure for the simplest version of this procedure. Only a clinic can quote you, and only after examining you and agreeing a plan.

Why is it cheaper than at home?

Lower facility and staffing costs, and high procedure volume. It is the same operation, and the major implant and device manufacturers are the same ones used at home.

How long do I need to be in Bangkok?

Around 8 days for most people. The final review and clearance to fly sets the length, not the surgery.

Can I fly home straight afterwards?

No. Your surgeon sets the date you are fit to fly. Book a flexible return if you can.
