Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Rai specializes in individualized breast explant procedures to meet the unique needs of his many patients.
Breast Explant
A breast explant is a surgical procedure to remove a woman’s breast implants along with their capsules (scar tissue around the implants). Common motivations for undergoing this procedure include:
Breast explants are often performed at the same time as lifts or reductions to address changes in breast shape and skin elasticity that occur after implant removal. When implants are removed, the breast tissue may appear deflated or saggy due to the stretched skin and loss of volume.
A breast lift tightens and elevates the remaining breast tissue, while a reduction can adjust the size for better proportion.

Your Breast Explant Journey with Surjit Rai, MD
Dr. Rai will perform your breast explant with lift or reduction in the Cosmetic Surgical Center’s on-site surgical suite. After the administration of general anesthesia, he will make an anchor incision (around the areola, down to the breast crease, and along the breast crease).
Next, Dr. Rai will carefully remove the implants and capsules. If a lift or reduction is planned, excess skin and tissue are removed. In a technique called auto augmentation, the remaining tissue may also be reshaped to create a natural breast contour.
Additionally, the nipples might be repositioned to ensure a balanced and aesthetically pleasing result. Finally, the incisions are closed with sutures.

Dr. Rai is an extremely skilled doctor, a wonderfully kind person and truly cares about each and every patient. I had surgery 3/2/2018 and he called me several times to check on me ( even called me from the airport as he was about to board his plane!) to make sure I was doing well after my surgery. His staff is just as awesome!

Hands down the most amazing Dr. I have ever met!!! I was suffering from Breast Implant Illness, and he was very understanding, as this can be a very touchy subject with plastic surgeons.
