Breast Implant Removal in Cancun: A Path to Your Well-being

Considering the removal of your breast implants? Breast implant removal, often referred to as an explant, is a surgical procedure gaining increasing attention among patients seeking to address specific concerns or simply return to their natural state. This procedure involves not only taking out the breast implant itself but, crucially, also removing the surrounding scar tissue, known as the capsule.

Dr. Arturo Valdez, a board-certified plastic surgeon and specialist in breast implant removal in Cancun, performs this procedure with meticulous care. You may hear several terms related to this surgery, including capsulectomy (removal of the capsule), total capsulectomy, and when possible, En Bloc capsulectomy, where the implant and capsule are removed together as a single unit. Patients from the US, Canada, and locally trust Dr. Valdez for his expertise in navigating these procedures, ensuring their comfort and well-being.

What is a Breast Implant Removal (Explant)?

Breast implant removal, or explant, is a surgical option for women who have decided to part ways with their implants. It’s a very personal choice, and it’s important to know that the procedure often involves taking out the capsule, which is the scar tissue that naturally forms around the implant. This step is called a capsulectomy.

Women decide on explant for many different reasons. Some are looking to solve a problem, like an implant rupture or discomfort. Others simply feel it’s time to return to their natural state or feel more comfortable with a smaller size.

Your surgeon will discuss all your options with you to ensure your procedure aligns with both your health and your personal goals.
