Our Comprehensive Explant Services
The Khan Procedure™
The Khan Procedure™ is Dr. Khan’s proprietary method for breast implant removal. This highly refined technique is designed to be exceptionally thorough, ensuring every step is optimized for patient safety and the complete removal of all foreign materials.
En Bloc Capsulectomy
Whenever surgically appropriate, the implant and the surrounding scar tissue capsule are meticulously removed as a single, intact unit. This technique is preferred to ensure no capsule tissue is left behind, supported by photographic proof.
Total Capsulectomy
When an en bloc removal is not anatomically possible, a total capsulectomy is performed to remove 100% of the capsule tissue. This is a core part of our commitment, ensuring nothing is left behind.
Drainless Surgical Technique
Our advanced surgical methods avoid the need for post-operative drains. This progressive technique promotes a more comfortable and convenient recovery period for our patients without compromising safety or results.
Natural 'Pseudo-Lift'
Following implant and capsule removal, Dr. Khan’s specialized technique skillfully reshapes the remaining breast tissue. This restores a natural breast contour and provides an improved aesthetic outcome without requiring a traditional lift.
Residual Capsule Removal
For patients who have had a previous explant surgery elsewhere, we offer targeted procedures to remove any remaining capsule tissue. This is crucial for individuals still experiencing symptoms after an incomplete removal.
Comprehensive Pathology & Documentation
We believe in providing definitive answers. We send 100% of the removed capsule for pathology and cultures, and we provide you with full photo and video documentation of the procedure.

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 Los Angeles, CA
What is The Khan Procedure™?
The Khan Procedure™ is Dr. Khan’s proprietary surgical protocol for breast implant removal. It is a meticulous, standardized technique focused on safety, complete capsule removal, and providing patients with definitive answers through comprehensive documentation and pathology.
Will I have surgical drains after my procedure?
No, our practice utilizes a drainless technique. Dr. Khan’s meticulous surgical approach eliminates the need for uncomfortable post-operative drains and contributes to a more convenient and comfortable recovery process.
What is the difference between en bloc and total capsulectomy?
En bloc capsulectomy removes the implant and capsule as one intact piece. A total capsulectomy ensures the entire capsule is removed, sometimes in separate pieces, when en bloc is not possible. Our goal is always 100% capsule removal.
What if I've had a previous explant but still have symptoms?
If you are still experiencing symptoms after a previous explant surgery performed elsewhere, it may be due to retained capsule tissue. Dr. Khan specializes in revision explant procedures to meticulously identify and remove any residual scar tissue, which is often crucial for alleviating persistent symptoms.
