Our Comprehensive Explant Services
En Bloc Capsulectomy
Considered the gold standard, this technique removes the implant and the entire surrounding scar tissue capsule as a single, intact unit. This meticulous approach is designed to prevent any spillage of implant material or inflammatory particles into the body.
Total Capsulectomy
This procedure ensures the complete removal of the breast implant and the entire scar tissue capsule. Even if the capsule cannot be removed in one piece (en bloc), Dr. Khan meticulously removes all capsule material for a thorough explant.
The Khan Procedure™
Dr. Khan’s proprietary surgical method is a highly refined approach to total capsulectomy. It is designed for maximum safety, complete removal of all foreign materials, and achieving an optimal aesthetic outcome while prioritizing your health.
Pseudo Lift Technique
Performed during explant surgery, the Pseudo Lift reshapes the breast and addresses sagging without the extensive scars of a traditional lift. It uses internal sutures to create a natural-looking contour and support from within.
Residual Capsule Removal
For patients who have had previous implant surgeries, we specialize in identifying and removing any capsule tissue that may have been left behind. This ensures a complete and clean removal for your long-term peace of mind.
Drainless Recovery
As part of our commitment to a better recovery, Dr. Khan uses advanced techniques that make post-surgical drains unnecessary. This drainless approach enhances comfort and simplifies your healing process.
Surgical Documentation & Pathology
We provide complete transparency through meticulous documentation. Your procedure includes HD photos and video of the removed implants and capsules. We also send all capsule tissue for a comprehensive pathology report to give you clear answers about your health.

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 Sacramento, CA
What is the difference between en bloc and total capsulectomy?
En bloc capsulectomy removes the implant and capsule together as one intact piece. Total capsulectomy ensures all capsule tissue is removed, though it may be in separate pieces if en bloc is not feasible. Dr. Khan is an expert in both techniques, always prioritizing complete removal.
Will I need drains after my breast implant removal surgery?
No. Dr. Khan utilizes a specialized drainless technique for all breast implant removal procedures. This advanced approach allows for a more comfortable recovery experience without the need for managing surgical drains at home.
Can my breasts look good after implant removal without a lift?
Yes, many patients achieve a beautiful, natural contour without a traditional lift. Dr. Khan often performs a ‘Pseudo Lift’ technique, which uses internal sutures and your body’s own tissue to reshape and support the breast with minimal scarring.
What happens to my implants and capsules after they are removed?
Your implants will be available to you after surgery. To ensure you have a complete record, we provide high-definition photos and video of the explant. Additionally, all removed capsule tissue is sent for pathology analysis, and you will receive a copy of the report for your health records.
