What Is Breast Implant Removal in Troy, MI?
En Bloc Capsulectomy
This technique removes the implant and the surrounding scar tissue capsule as a single, intact unit. It is the preferred method whenever surgically appropriate to ensure no foreign material is left behind.
Total Capsulectomy (The Khan Procedure™)
When an en bloc removal isn’t anatomically possible, Dr. Khan performs his proprietary Khan Procedure™. This meticulous technique guarantees 100% of the capsule is removed, with photographic proof provided.
Residual Capsule Removal
For patients who have had a previous removal surgery where capsule tissue was left behind, we specialize in identifying and extracting all remaining fragments to ensure a complete revision.
Drainless Surgical Technique
Our refined surgical methods eliminate the need for post-operative surgical drains. This advancement allows for a more comfortable, convenient, and simplified recovery process for our patients.
Natural Breast Contouring
Dr. Khan’s technique can create a natural ‘pseudo-lift’ effect by carefully restoring the breast’s contour after implants are removed, often achieving an aesthetically pleasing result without an additional lift.
Comprehensive Specimen Analysis
We believe in providing definitive answers. Every capsule specimen undergoes pathology and microbiology testing. We provide you with high-definition photos, video documentation, and the returned implants.
Breast Flap Reinforcement
In cases where extra support is needed, we can reinforce the breast’s structure using your own existing tissue. This preserves natural anatomy and supports long-term shape and stability.

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 Troy, MI
What is the difference between En Bloc and Total Capsulectomy?
En Bloc Capsulectomy removes the implant and capsule as one single piece. A Total Capsulectomy also removes 100% of the capsule, but it is done in pieces when an en bloc approach is not anatomically safe or possible. Dr. Khan is an expert in both meticulous techniques.
Will I need drains after my surgery?
No. Dr. Khan utilizes a specialized drainless technique for his explant surgeries. This approach enhances comfort and simplifies the recovery process, allowing you to heal without the inconvenience of surgical drains.
What is Breast Implant Illness (BII)?
Breast Implant Illness (BII) is a term for a wide range of systemic symptoms that may be associated with breast implants. Symptoms can include chronic fatigue, joint pain, brain fog, and autoimmune issues, which often improve or resolve after implant and capsule removal.
How long is the recovery period after explant surgery?
Recovery varies, but most patients can return to light activities within one to two weeks. Strenuous activities and heavy lifting should be avoided for about six weeks. We provide detailed post-operative instructions to guide you through a smooth and comfortable healing process.
