With any surgery, it is important that you allow your body to properly heal which means that some amount of time will need to be taken for the recovery process. Breast explant surgery involves surgically removing breast implants from the breasts, so incisions will need to be made, anesthesia may need to be administered, and other contributing factors mean you will need to plan to take several days off of work and your normal activities to recuperate.

Breast implants are intended to be durable and last for years. Unfortunately, this is not always the case. Many women experience breast implant ruptures due to one of many potential reasons. In some cases, simple wear and tear over the years can cause the implant to become damaged to the point where it ruptures. In other cases, issues like capsular contracture can place a large amount of pressure on the implant leading to a rupture. Significant trauma to the breasts can also lead to a breast implant rupture.
