Breast explantation is a plastic surgery procedure that involves the definitive removal of previously placed breast implants. More and more women are making this decision for reasons ranging from changes in their aesthetic preferences, complications like capsular contracture, physical discomfort, or simply because they feel their implants have run their course.
At our clinic in Bogotá, each explantation is planned in a completely personalized way. We evaluate the condition of your implants, the quality of your breast tissue, and your expectations to define the best surgical strategy, whether it's a simple removal, combined with mastopexy to maintain firmness, or with lipofilling to naturally preserve volume.

It all begins with a consultation. We evaluate the condition of your implants, the quality and elasticity of your skin, the amount of your own breast tissue, and how your breasts have changed since you had the implants placed.
We evaluate the type of implant, how long you've had them, and if there are signs of complications such as capsular contracture or rupture.
We analyze your skin's elasticity and the amount of your own breast tissue to anticipate how your breasts will look after implant removal.
We determine whether to combine explantation with mastopexy (lift) or lipofilling (fat transfer) to maintain a harmonious contour.
We'll have an honest discussion about how your breasts will look based on your specific case, as the outcome depends on multiple individual factors.

This is the most frequently asked question, and the honest answer is: it depends on your individual case. The final result is influenced by several factors:
The longer the implants have been in, the more changes there may be in the tissue. The size of the implants also plays a role; the larger they are, the more they stretch the skin.
The quality and elasticity of your skin varies depending on genetics, age, and care. Pregnancies and breastfeeding may have modified your breast tissue independently of the implants.
Your body type determines how much of your own breast tissue is available. For these cases, combining with mastopexy or lipofilling allows for a harmonious and feminine result without the need for new implants.

We evaluate the condition of your implants, the quality of your breast tissue, and your expectations. Together, we define the ideal surgical strategy for your case.
We will provide you with pre-surgical tests and specific care instructions to ensure you are in optimal condition.
We operate in premium rooms with certified operating theaters within the Dalí Medical Center.
Scheduled follow-up appointments to support you through every stage of your post-operative recovery.
Breast explantation might be the right decision if you identify with any of these situations:
• Your implants are old, and you prefer to have them permanently removed rather than replaced.
• You experience physical discomfort such as pain, heaviness, or a feeling of tension in your breasts.
• You have capsular contracture or other complications.
• Your aesthetic preferences have changed, and you desire a more natural look.
• You suspect your implants may be related to systemic symptoms (ASIA syndrome).
• Your plastic surgeon has recommended removal for a medical reason.
During the consultation, we will comprehensively evaluate your case and transparently explain the options and expected results based on your specific situation.

"I decided to remove my breast implants after 20 years, and what I found in the United States was not to my satisfaction. I did my research, and decided to set an appointment with Dr. Ruiz. Of all the drs. I saw in the U.S. and in Colombia, she really is great. She is professional and compassionate. She understood my concerns with scaring and any complications that I thought might arise. She was able to ease those concerns, and not once did I feel rushed into anything. Fast forward, the surgery was a success, and recovery was quick. Thank you Dr. Ruiz, you really are a blessing!"
