What Is Breast Implant Removal in Westland, MI?
En Bloc & Total Capsulectomy
This technique involves the meticulous removal of the breast implant and the entire surrounding scar tissue capsule. An en bloc capsulectomy, removing the implant and capsule as one intact unit, is performed whenever surgically appropriate to ensure no foreign material is left behind.
The Khan Procedure™
The Khan Procedure™ is Dr. Khan’s proprietary approach to explant surgery, developed through years of singular focus on Breast Implant Illness. It is a highly refined technique optimized for patient safety and the most thorough removal of all implant materials and capsule tissue.
Advanced Drainless Technique
Our surgical approach utilizes progressive tension sutures to avoid the need for uncomfortable post-operative drains. This modern technique enhances patient comfort, reduces infection risk, and simplifies the recovery process.
Natural Breast Contouring
Beyond removal, Dr. Khan’s technique focuses on restoring a natural breast shape and contour. This auto-augmentation or ‘pseudo-lift’ effect helps create an aesthetically pleasing result without the need for additional lifting procedures in many cases.
Photographic Proof of Removal
We believe in total transparency. After every surgery, we provide patients with photographic proof of the removed implants and capsules. This confirms that 100% of the implant and 100% of the capsule have been removed, with 0% of implant-related materials left behind, ensuring your peace of mind.
BII-Informed Care
We recognize the complex and varied symptoms of Breast Implant Illness (BII). Our entire approach, from consultation to aftercare, is informed by a deep understanding of BII, focusing on alleviating systemic symptoms and supporting your overall health.
Post-Cancer Reconstructive Options
For patients who have undergone breast reconstruction with implants after cancer treatment, we offer specialized removal and revision services. Our goal is to address any implant-related issues while preserving or enhancing aesthetic outcomes with compassion and expertise.

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 Westland, MI
What is the difference between an en bloc and a total capsulectomy?
An en bloc capsulectomy removes the implant and capsule together as one piece. A total capsulectomy also removes the entire capsule, but may do so in separate pieces if necessary for safety. Both techniques aim for the complete removal of all scar tissue.
Why is a drainless technique preferred for recovery?
A drainless technique eliminates the need for uncomfortable surgical drains post-surgery. This modern approach closes the space inside the breast pocket, which reduces discomfort, simplifies aftercare, and allows for a smoother, more convenient healing process.
What is The Khan Procedure™?
The Khan Procedure™ is Dr. Shaher Khan’s proprietary and highly refined surgical method for breast implant removal. It is designed to be exceptionally thorough, focusing on complete capsule removal, patient safety, and restoring a natural breast contour.
How do I know if my symptoms are related to Breast Implant Illness (BII)?
Breast Implant Illness (BII) presents a wide array of symptoms, including chronic fatigue, joint pain, ‘brain fog,’ and anxiety. There is no single test for BII. Diagnosis involves evaluating your health history, the onset of symptoms after implantation, and ruling out other medical conditions. A consultation with a specialist like Dr. Khan is the best way to evaluate your situation.
