What Is Breast Implant Removal in Anaheim, CA?
En Bloc Capsulectomy
When surgically possible, the implant and the surrounding scar tissue capsule are removed together as a single, intact piece. This technique is considered the gold standard for preventing contamination and ensuring all implant materials are cleanly extracted.
Total Capsulectomy
If the capsule is too thin or adhered to the chest wall, making an en bloc removal unsafe, a total capsulectomy is performed. Dr. Khan meticulously removes the implant first, then ensures 100% of the capsule tissue is removed in separate pieces.
The Khan Procedure™
Developed by Dr. Khan, this proprietary protocol is our comprehensive surgical standard. It integrates en bloc or total capsulectomy with a drainless technique and a natural lift, ensuring every surgery is optimized for patient safety, 100% removal, and transparent documentation.
Drainless Surgical Technique
Our refined surgical method avoids the need for post-operative surgical drains. This progressive technique utilizes a multi-layer suturing approach that allows for a more comfortable and convenient recovery period for our patients.
Natural Pseudo Lift
Following implant removal, Dr. Khan uses specialized techniques to reshape and lift the existing breast tissue. This restores a more youthful and natural breast contour without the need for new implants or a separate lift procedure.
Comprehensive Documentation
We provide radical transparency with high-definition photos and video of your removed implants and capsules. All capsule tissue is sent for pathology and microbiology testing. The results, along with the physical implants and capsules, are returned to you for your records.
Residual Capsule Removal
For patients who have had a previous implant removal surgery but were left with remaining capsule tissue, we offer this corrective procedure. Dr. Khan carefully removes the residual tissue to help resolve persistent symptoms and provide peace of mind.

Why the Capsule Matters
Removing the Implant Is Only Part of the Story
Your body naturally forms scar tissue, called a capsule, around every breast implant. Over time, this tissue may harden, thicken, create inflammation, and other symptoms; removing the capsule is an important part of explant surgery.

FAQ About Breast Implant Removal in Anaheim, CA
What is the difference between en bloc and total capsulectomy?
En bloc capsulectomy removes the implant and capsule together as one intact unit. A total capsulectomy removes the entire capsule in pieces when en bloc is not safely possible. Dr. Khan is an expert in both, and our goal is always 100% removal of all capsule tissue.
Why is a drainless technique beneficial?
Our drainless technique eliminates the need for uncomfortable post-surgical drains. Dr. Khan uses an advanced layered suturing method that closes the space where fluid could collect, which leads to a more comfortable, convenient, and less complicated recovery.
What is The Khan Procedure™?
The Khan Procedure™ is Dr. Khan’s proprietary surgical protocol for breast implant removal. It standardizes every step of the process—from the capsulectomy technique to the drainless closure and comprehensive documentation—to ensure a safe, thorough, and transparent patient experience.
What happens to my implants and capsules after they are removed?
We provide you with photos and video as proof of removal. The capsule tissue is sent to a lab for pathology and microbiology testing. Afterwards, the physical implants and capsules are returned to you, along with the pathology report, for your personal records.
