Breast Implant Removal for Patients with Breast Implant Illness (BII)

At Rosenberg Plastic Surgery, we provide compassionate, expert care for patients seeking breast implant removal—especially those experiencing symptoms of Breast Implant Illness (BII). Led by Dr. Jason J. Rosenberg, MD, FACS, our practice prioritizes safety, precision, and honest expectations throughout this delicate and often emotional journey.

Why Choose Dr. Rosenberg for Explant Surgery?

With over two decades of microsurgical expertise and hundreds of successful explant procedures, Dr. Rosenberg is uniquely qualified to perform the technically demanding en bloc capsulectomy—a procedure where both the breast implant and the surrounding scar tissue capsule are removed together in one piece.

This approach, while not always necessary for every patient, can be valuable for those experiencing symptoms they believe are related to their implants. Dr. Rosenberg’s advanced training in microsurgery at the MD Anderson Cancer Center, the world’s leading center for reconstructive microsurgery, gives him the precision and expertise needed for these complex cases.

A Personalized Approach to Explant Surgery

• Each explant is different. Some patients may benefit from:
• En bloc capsulectomy when technically feasible and appropriate
• Mastopexy (breast lift) performed in conjunction to reshape and elevate the breast
• Autologous fat grafting to restore soft volume, when indicated

These procedures are often tailored to your anatomy, symptoms, and long-term goals. Dr. Rosenberg and his team work with you to determine the safest and most effective plan.

Safety, Realism, and Support

Dr. Rosenberg’s approach to explant surgery centers on:

• Patient safety above all else
• Realistic expectations about healing and appearance
• Clear communication and long-term follow-up

It’s important to understand that healing is a process. The final shape, feel, and function of the breast can take several months to fully settle. Our team will guide you through each step, from pre-operative planning to post-operative care.

Advancing the Science of BII

Dr. Rosenberg is currently leading a clinical study to examine the improvements reported by patients following implant removal. By contributing to this research, we aim to improve understanding, support better outcomes, and provide patients with science-based reassurance as they consider explant surgery.
