What Is Breast Implant Removal in San Jose, CA?
Relief from Systemic Symptoms
Many patients seek explant surgery for relief from symptoms of Breast Implant Illness (BII), such as chronic fatigue, brain fog, and joint pain. Our comprehensive approach is designed to address these root causes and support your body’s recovery.
Addressing Chronic Pain
Unexplained muscle aches and persistent chest pain can be associated with the body’s inflammatory reaction to breast implants. Removing the implants and associated scar tissue can alleviate these painful responses.
Resolving Implant Complications
We address all implant-related complications, including rupture, silicone leakage, and capsular contracture (hardening of the scar tissue). Our goal is to safely remove the implants and any compromised tissue to restore your peace of mind.
Restoring a Natural Breast Shape
For patients who wish to return to their natural breast size and shape, we offer specialized techniques to optimize aesthetics after explant. Dr. Khan often utilizes a technique to reshape breast tissue, helping restore a pleasing contour without additional procedures.
En Bloc & Total Capsulectomy
The goal of explant surgery is the complete removal of all foreign materials. We specialize in total capsulectomy and, when surgically appropriate, en bloc capsulectomy, where the implant and capsule are removed as a single unit.
Drainless Recovery Technique
Dr. Khan utilizes an advanced drainless technique for breast implant removal. This approach enhances patient comfort, simplifies the recovery process, and allows for greater mobility immediately following surgery.
Photographic Proof of Removal
We adhere to a strict standard of transparency, providing every patient with photographic proof that the implant and capsule have been removed. This commitment ensures you have definitive answers about your surgery.

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.
