Our Comprehensive Explant Services
Explant & Total Capsulectomy
This is our foundational procedure, involving the meticulous removal of the breast implant and the entire surrounding scar tissue capsule. Dr. Khan’s technique ensures all foreign material is addressed, which is critical for patients experiencing symptoms. We perform this with the goal of restoring your natural anatomy.
En Bloc Capsulectomy
When surgically appropriate, we perform an en bloc capsulectomy, removing the implant and its capsule as a single, intact unit. This technique prevents any potential leakage from a ruptured implant and ensures the capsule is fully contained. It represents a highly meticulous standard of care in explant surgery.
The Khan Procedure™
Developed by Dr. Khan, this proprietary surgical protocol is designed for the most thorough and well-documented breast implant removal possible. It incorporates our 100/100/0 Rule™, ensuring 100% of the implant and capsule are removed with photographic proof, 100% of the time. This procedure provides patients with definitive results.
Drainless Technique
Our advanced surgical methods allow us to perform breast implant removal without the need for uncomfortable post-operative drains. This is achieved through precise tissue handling and suturing techniques that minimize fluid buildup. The result is a more convenient and comfortable recovery process for our patients.
Pseudo Lift Contouring
For patients concerned about breast shape after implant removal, Dr. Khan’s innovative Pseudo Lift offers a solution. This technique uses internal suturing to reshape and lift the breast tissue, restoring a natural contour without the extensive scars of a traditional lift. It is performed at the same time as the explant surgery.
Residual Capsule Removal
If you have had a previous implant removal where capsule tissue was left behind, we can help. Our specialized procedure targets and removes this remaining scar tissue. This is often essential for patients who continue to experience symptoms after an incomplete explant.
Pathology & Documentation
We believe in radical transparency and providing you with answers. Every capsule is sent for pathology, and we provide you with high-definition photos and videos from your surgery. Your implants and capsules are also returned to you, giving you complete ownership of your health journey.

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.
