What Is Breast Implant Removal in Sterling Heights, MI?
En Bloc Capsulectomy
This technique removes the implant and its scar tissue capsule as a single, intact unit. It is often preferred for patients with concerns about Breast Implant Illness to prevent any spillage of internal contents.
Total Capsulectomy
When an en bloc removal is not anatomically possible, a total capsulectomy ensures the entire scar tissue capsule is still meticulously removed. The implant is taken out first, followed by the complete capsule.
The Khan Procedure™
Developed by Dr. Khan, this proprietary surgical protocol is designed for the most thorough removal of all foreign materials. Every step is optimized for patient safety and providing definitive answers on your path to wellness.
Drainless Technique
Our refined surgical approach avoids the need for uncomfortable post-operative surgical drains. This allows for a more convenient and comfortable initial recovery period.
Natural 'Pseudo-Lift' Contouring
After implant removal, Dr. Khan utilizes advanced techniques to restore a natural breast contour. This ‘pseudo-lift’ helps reshape the existing breast tissue for an aesthetically pleasing result without new implants.
Comprehensive Documentation
We believe in radical transparency, providing photographic and video proof that 100% of the capsule is removed. All tissue is sent for pathology and microbiology to give you complete clarity.
Residual Capsule Removal
For patients who have had a previous explant surgery where capsule tissue was left behind, we perform procedures to locate and remove this remaining material. This is crucial for resolving persistent symptoms.

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 Sterling Heights, MI
What is Breast Implant Illness (BII)?
Breast Implant Illness (BII) refers to a wide range of systemic symptoms that some individuals develop after getting breast implants. These can include chronic fatigue, joint pain, brain fog, and autoimmune-like responses, which often resolve after complete implant and capsule removal.
Is an 'en bloc' capsulectomy always possible?
While en bloc capsulectomy is the gold standard, it may not always be anatomically possible if the capsule is too thin or adhered to vital structures like the ribs. In these cases, a meticulous total capsulectomy is performed to ensure 100% of the capsule tissue is still removed safely.
Will I need drains after my surgery?
No. At Executive Plastic Surgery, Dr. Khan utilizes a specialized drainless technique for all breast implant removal procedures. This advanced approach provides for a more comfortable and convenient recovery period without the need to manage surgical drains at home.
