What is a Breast Explant?
Breast explant surgery removes existing breast implants. Depending on your goals and the condition of the implants, the surgeon may also remove the surrounding scar tissue capsule (capsulectomy), and may perform an en bloc removal, taking the implant and capsule out together as one unit. Many patients combine explant with a breast lift to address sagging once the implants are gone.
Surgery is performed under general anesthesia and takes 1 to 3 hours, longer if a full capsulectomy or lift is added. Most patients return to desk work in about a week and resume full activity at 4 to 6 weeks. Breasts will look smaller and may appear deflated at first; the final shape settles over several months.
Reasons for explant include capsular contracture, rupture, implant aging, breast implant illness concerns, or simply wanting to return to a natural size. Discuss whether you want capsule removal, a lift, or fat transfer to restore volume.
How much does a Breast Explant cost in San Francisco?
Breast explant in San Francisco typically starts at $8,400, with most procedures ranging from $8,400 to $15,120 all-in depending on whether a capsulectomy or lift is added.

Frequently asked questions
How much does breast explant cost in San Francisco?
Breast explant in San Francisco typically ranges from $8,400 to $15,120 all-in. Cost rises with a full capsulectomy, en bloc removal, or a simultaneous lift. the San Francisco Bay Area carries some of the highest commercial rents and most in-demand practitioners in the country, pushing rates above the national median.
Will insurance cover breast implant removal?
Insurance sometimes covers removal when it is medically necessary, for example with a documented rupture, severe capsular contracture, or implants placed for reconstruction. Cosmetic explant by choice is usually not covered. Coverage and documentation requirements vary by plan.
What will my breasts look like after explant?
Breasts look smaller and often deflated or loose at first, especially if the implants were large or in place for years. A lift can address sagging, and fat transfer can restore modest volume. Final shape settles over three to six months as swelling resolves.
