The capsule may be left in place when medically appropriate.
Capsule removal varies according to medical indications.
Surgical photography and video protocols vary.
Pathology and microbiology testing depend on clinical indications and practice protocols.

I feel so incredibly blessed that I found Dr. Khan in my search for an explant surgeon. From the very first phone consult to my pre-op appointment and my surgery I knew I was in the best care possible. I love my results, most of all I love that I know 100% that all of the capsule has been extracted and I don’t have the worry of any bad tissue left behind. I cannot recommend him enough. I traveled over 2000 miles one way to see him, completely worth it.
