The breast implant removal cost los angeles patients pay at Executive Plastic Surgery is set through a personal quote prepared after Dr. Shaher W. Khan reviews your implant history and your goals. We do not publish one flat price for explant surgery because two patients rarely need the same plan. Your quote covers the surgical approach, anesthesia, the surgery center, specimen testing and recovery items, so you see the full number before you commit.
Our office in Northridge, CA serves patients from across the region, and many more travel to us from other states and countries. Dr. Shaher W. Khan is double board-certified in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery and General Surgery, and our surgical work is focused on breast implant removal. Below we explain what shapes the price and how payment works.
Explant surgery is priced around the work your body needs. The condition of the capsule, your surgical history and the anesthesia plan all change the time and resources a case requires. Understanding these pieces makes your written quote much easier to read.

Every quote we prepare is built on The Khan Procedure™, Dr. Shaher W. Khan’s own approach to breast implant removal. The goal is removal of the entire implant and capsule as one system, followed by a complete workup. Several factors shape the final figure:
Because The Khan Procedure uses a drainless technique, there are no surgical drains to manage at home. The built-in Natural "Pseudo-Lift" technique also restores a natural breast contour without a separate lift procedure or additional incisions into the breast tissue.
Implant type and manufacturer are part of the history Dr. Shaher W. Khan reviews before planning your surgery. Records from your original procedure help him understand what was placed and where. Bring whatever paperwork you have, even if it is incomplete.
Testing does not change based on the brand. For The Khan Procedure, 100% of capsules are sent for pathology, including CD30 analysis for BIA-ALCL, and for microbiology cultures. That standard applies to every patient, whatever the implant fill or maker. Your implants are also returned to you as part of our standard protocol.
What can change the plan is how the implant and capsule have behaved over time. Dr. Shaher W. Khan explains how your specific history affects the surgical approach and therefore the quote.
Some costs sit outside the surgery day itself. Planning for them early keeps your budget accurate.
Before surgery, patients complete a medical clearance, a cardiac assessment, a history and physical, and laboratory testing. Many patients have these done near home with their own physician or at a lab close by. Ask how each of these will be billed wherever you have them done, since those fees come from the provider performing them.
After surgery, recovery costs are usually modest. Patients wear surgical garments during healing, and additional garments can be purchased directly from our office. Follow-up visits are scheduled after your procedure, and our team explains how they fit into your plan.
For patients flying in, travel is often the largest cost outside the surgical quote. Our out-of-town patients page explains how we work with people coming from outside the area.
Searching for breast implant removal cost los angeles figures online often turns up wide ranges with little detail behind them. A number without a plan attached tells you very little. Two quotes can look far apart simply because one includes anesthesia, testing and documentation while the other leaves them out.
We prepare a written figure for each patient after Dr. Shaher W. Khan evaluates the case. That figure reflects the factors above and is specific to you. A $500 surgery deposit holds your date and is deducted from the total payment, so it is not an added fee.
Our self-pay rates page lists bundled prices for functional procedures such as carpal tunnel release and scar revision. Explant surgery is not on that list because it is quoted individually. Listed self-pay prices are current estimates and may be adjusted based on clinical evaluation.

Our work centers on complete removal, so most quotes we prepare are for breast implant removal with The Khan Procedure. Many patients worry they will need to pay for a lift as a second operation. The pseudo-lift technique is part of The Khan Procedure, restoring a natural contour without a separate lift procedure.
Some patients need more than removal. Women who have had a mastectomy or lumpectomy may plan breast reconstruction, which we perform using only autologous methods. Others choose breast cancer flat closure for a smooth, symmetric chest contour. When a second procedure is part of your plan, Dr. Shaher W. Khan explains how it changes the total so you can compare options side by side.
We have two locations: Northridge, serving the greater area, and Bloomfield Hills in Michigan. Dr. Shaher W. Khan performs The Khan Procedure at both, using the same protocol for capsule removal, testing and documentation. Your quote is prepared for the location where your surgery takes place.
For many families, the breast implant removal cost los angeles quote is only part of the total once travel is added. Patients come to us from across the United States and other countries. Flights, lodging and time away from work belong in your budget alongside the surgical figure.
When you compare costs between cities, compare what each plan includes. Pathology, microbiology, high-definition photo and video documentation, and implant return are part of every Khan Procedure. Those items carry real value and should be counted when you weigh any figure.
Our office operates on a direct-pay model for explant surgery. This keeps pricing clear from the start, and it means your quote is the amount you pay our office. Knowing how payment works lets you plan your date with confidence.
We do not accept insurance. Patients pay our office directly for their surgery, and the figure in your quote is not dependent on an insurer’s review. Many patients find this simpler, since they know the full amount before scheduling.
Some patients come to us with concerns about breast implant illness and want to understand every step of their care. A direct-pay model lets Dr. Shaher W. Khan build the plan around your health history and your goals. The full pathology and microbiology results from your surgery belong to you as part of your medical records.
Many patients spread the cost of explant surgery over time. We offer two financing options:
Financing can cover the surgical quote, and patients often apply before their consultation so they know their monthly figure early. Our team can explain which application matches your surgery location.

Breast implant removal cost los angeles is determined by a personal plan, prepared after Dr. Shaher W. Khan reviews your case. The capsule approach, anesthesia, prior surgeries and any added procedure shape the figure. Every Khan Procedure includes full pathology, microbiology, high-definition documentation and implant return, with a drainless technique and built-in pseudo-lift. We do not accept insurance, and CareCredit and M-Lend give patients flexible ways to pay. A written estimate before surgery means you know the full cost of your explant before you commit.
