Understanding Explant Surgery: What to Expect at Dr. Shaun Parson Plastic Surgery & Skin Center
At Dr. Shaun Parson Plastic Surgery & Skin Center, we understand that the decision to remove breast implants—known as an explant surgery—is deeply personal and often emotional. Whether you’re experiencing symptoms related to Breast Implant Illness (BII), dealing with implant complications like rupture or capsular contracture, or simply feel that breast implants no longer suit your lifestyle, our team is here to support and guide you every step of the way.
What Is Explant Surgery?
Explant surgery refers to the removal of breast implants, with or without removal of the surrounding scar tissue (capsulectomy). Patients may opt for an explant for health, aesthetic, or peace-of-mind reasons. Dr. Shaun Parson, a board-certified plastic surgeon in Scottsdale, Arizona, brings a compassionate, detail-oriented approach to each case, ensuring your surgical plan is tailored to your goals and health needs.
Common Reasons for Explant Surgery
- Breast Implant Illness (BII): A collection of systemic symptoms some patients believe are related to their implants.
- Ruptured or Leaking Implants: Compromised implants need timely removal or replacement.
- Capsular Contracture: When the scar tissue around an implant hardens and distorts shape or causes discomfort.
- Lifestyle or Aesthetic Change: Many patients seek a more natural look as they age or experience body changes.
Explant with Fat Grafting or Lift
Dr. Parson often combines explant surgery with procedures such as:
- Breast Lift (Mastopexy): To reshape and lift the natural breast after implant removal.
- Fat Transfer: Using your body’s own fat to restore volume in a subtle, natural-looking way.
These combination procedures can help restore confidence and maintain body harmony post-explant.
What to Expect from Your Consultation
During your consultation, Dr. Parson will:
- Review your medical history and implant type
- Discuss your reasons for explant
- Conduct a physical evaluation
- Present customized options including lift or fat grafting

Our priority is to ensure you feel informed, safe, and confident about your decision.
