What is breast implant removal or explantation?

Breast implant removal or explantation is a surgical procedure to remove breast implants, either saline or silicone. Dr. DeRosa also evaluates and removes scar tissue (capsulectomy) when indicated to reduce tightness, discomfort, or other symptoms.

Why do patients choose breast implant removal?

Patients choose breast implant removal for many reasons including discomfort, capsular contracture, changes over time, health concerns, or personal preference. Some travel internationally to see Dr. DeRosa because of her specialization and published expertise.

Does Dr. DeRosa place implants?

No. Dr. Amy DeRosa focuses exclusively on breast implant removal, explantation, and related procedures. She does not place breast implants and has performed thousands of explant surgeries.

Will I need a breast lift after removal?

Some patients choose a breast lift after implant removal to improve shape. Dr. DeRosa evaluates this during consultation based on skin elasticity and your aesthetic goals.

How long is recovery after breast implant removal?

Recovery depends on whether capsulectomy or a lift is included. Most patients notice swelling improvement in early weeks and continued settling over several months.

Capsular contracture with tightness or discomfort.
Rupture or implant integrity concerns.
Breast implant illness or BII symptoms.
Changes due to pregnancy, weight fluctuations, or aging.

Procedure Details: What to Expect

Your procedure plan is built in consultation and based on your anatomy and goals. In general, breast implant removal involves:

A Ruptured Implant

Removal of the implant (saline or silicone).
Total, intact, capsulectomy
Incision planning based on your anatomy and past surgeries.
Optional reshaping such as breast lift for aesthetic balance.

Your Consultation Matters

Before surgery, your consultation will include:

A detailed medical history review.
Evaluation of implant type, placement, and age.
Discussion of symptoms and goals.
Review of imaging if available.
A tailored surgical plan with recovery expectations.

Recovery After Breast Implant Removal

Recovery varies based on your plan. Here’s what most patients want to know:

Downtime: Patients often take time off work, especially in the first one to two weeks.
Activity: Lifting restrictions and gradual activity progression are common.
Swelling: Early swelling is normal. Most swelling reduces over weeks, and final settling may take several months.
Follow up: You will have scheduled visits to monitor healing and incision care.

Tips to Support Recovery

Prepare your rest area before surgery.
Arrange for an adult to drive you home and stay with you initially.
Follow garment and activity instructions closely.
Keep follow up appointments to optimize healing and scar care.

FAQ: Breast Implant Removal

Do I need a breast lift after implant removal?

Some patients choose a lift after removal to restore breast shape. This depends on skin elasticity, implant size, and your goals. Dr. DeRosa discusses this during consultation.

How long does recovery take?

Most patients take one to two weeks off work and limit lifting and strenuous activity. Swelling resolves gradually over weeks and months as tissues settle.

    I had an excellent experience and highly recommend DeRosa Plastic Surgery. I chose Dr. DeRosa to perform the breast reduction I'd wanted for 25 years and have been thrilled with the results! It's exactly what I'd hoped for, except it has also been truly life-changing.
Dr. DeRosa's team was positive, caring, helpful, and took their time making sure I understood everything. I had pretty bad day-of jitters and struggled at the post-op appointment to get my drainage tubes out, and the staff was so compassionate.
I recommend Dr. DeRosa both for her skill and precision but also because her office and staff are lovely, warm, and caring.

    Without a doubt I knew at my initial consult, Dr Amy DeRosa was my person I would place my trust in. Approachable, so very knowledgeable, an all around advocate for women, and kind! There was no hesitation to move forward with her in charge. Additionally, each individual who cared for me prior to surgery was just as comforting, so very capable and again kind. I felt safe.
I would never leave out the office staff. Top notch. So very helpful, responsive and once again kind! I would recommend this office without hesitation!

    I cannot say enough wonderful things about Dr. DeRosa and her entire team. From my very first interaction, everyone has been incredibly empathetic, caring, and kind. You can truly tell that they are passionate about what they do and genuinely care about helping their patients feel their best.

I recently had my explant surgery and lift, and I am so happy that I made the decision to move forward with this procedure. I am only one week post-op and already feeling great. The support, compassion, and professionalism I have received throughout this process have made such a positive difference.

Dr. DeRosa and her entire team made me feel comfortable, listened to, and cared for every step of the way. I am so grateful for their expertise and the way they treat their patients like real people, not just another procedure.

Thank you, Dr. DeRosa and your amazing team, for making this experience such a positive one. I am so happy I chose you!

   Verified Best Decision I Could Have Made
Haven’t posted yet to their google review but lmk what you think. Dr. DeRosa, Tim, and the entire team were absolutely incredible throughout my breast explant journey. From my very first emotional phone call, Tim reassured me that what I was experiencing wasn’t “in my head,” even after multiple doctors and specialists couldn’t explain my severe joint pain and inflammation. Meeting Dr. DeRosa was a turning point—she is not only highly knowledgeable but also kind, genuine, and deeply empathetic. Knowing she had personal experience made me feel even more confident in my decision. Surgery day went smoothly, and the results were life-changing. I immediately noticed I could breathe better, and the inflammation I had been suffering from disappeared. I felt like myself again with minimal discomfort. At my follow-ups, I continued to receive the same level of care and compassion. Learning that one implant had been leaking only confirmed I made the right choice. Now at 8 weeks post-op, I feel amazing and love how I look. I’m beyond grateful to Dr. DeRosa, Tim, and the entire team. If you’re considering a surgeon in Michigan, I highly recommend them—truly the best decision I could have made.

I expected droopy breasts but much to my surprise with the help of Dr. DeRosa’s expertise my breasts look perkier than before I breast fed. I’m so incredibly grateful for Dr. DeRosa’s skill. Thanks to Tim for answering my numerous questions, Wanda who did indeed take good care of me, operating room nurse, Katie for answering my post op questions and the entire staff for being so kind.

If you’re looking for an explant surgeon don’t waste any more time and do yourself a favor, use Dr. DeRosa. Not only a skilled and experienced surgeon, she herself has been a patient and advocate for explant and BII. I couldn’t recommend her (and everyone who works in the surgical team and office) more. Warm, caring, supportive, and my results look great. She does what she says she will do. They are prompt in the office as well, running on time seems like a luxury these days. Thank you Dr DeRosa!!

The GOAT of Explant Surgery!! If you’re looking for an explant surgeon do yourself a favor and use Dr. DeRosa.

Warm, caring, supportive, and my results look great at 7 weeks post op, can’t wait to see the final result! Dr DeRosa put me at ease immediately and made me feel like we were old friends. Seriously the best bedside manner I’ve experienced. She does what she says she will do. They are prompt in the office as well, running on time seems like a luxury these days. Thank you Dr DeRosa!!

A special thank you to Tim, who went above and beyond in caring for my mother. He did an incredible job using their Picosure machine to clean up her eyebrow tattoo. The results were far better than we ever expected, and the process was comfortable and reassuring every step of the way. Dr. DeRosa clearly sets the tone for excellence in her office — you can feel how much they all truly care about their patients. If you’re looking for a team that combines top-notch technology with genuine compassion, look no further. Highly recommend!

Dr. DeRosa is not only highly skilled but also compassionate and thorough — I felt confident every step of the way. The staff, nurse Katie, and Wanda, all deserve just as much praise. Everyone I interacted with was kind, attentive, and made me feel comfortable. They answered all my questions patiently, kept me informed, and truly treated me like a person, not just a patient. My explant surgery and recovery have been smoother than I imagined, and I am so grateful for the level of professionalism and care I received. I would highly recommend Dr. DeRosa and team to anyone considering this procedure.

Dr. DeRosa Gave Me my Life Back I cannot say enough amazing things about Dr. DeRosa and her entire staff! Each of them (Dr. DeRosa, Nurse Katie, Wanda, Tim, and Mackenzie) made me feel so comfortable and welcome from the second I stepped through the door at DeRosa Plastic Surgery. I was suffering big time with Breast Implant Illness that had lead to an autoimmune diagnosis, medications with terrible side effects, and just a lack of ability to truly live life at 36 years old. I'm 8 weeks post-op now and feel like an entirely new person! Not to mention, Dr. DeRosa does beautiful work and I feel even more feminine with my new breasts than I ever did with my implants! The day of surgery went so smoothly, I arrived at 6:30am to see Nurse Katie's smiling face and the smiles didn't stop, both Wanda and Dr. DeRosa came to speak with me and made sure I was comfortable with everything that was about to happen. After care was great, Nurse Katie called to check on me and give me reminders for the following days. Skipping ahead to my 6 week post-op, I walked in their door feeling like a whole new person, Dr. DeRosa celebrated with me, made me like a part of the family, and even posed for a selfie with me (who wouldn't want a reminder of the person who gave them their life back!). I will forever be grateful to Dr. DeRosa and her entire team for what they have done for me and how incredibly I was treated throughout the entire process!

Reagan deserves a medal for taking so many of my phone calls throughout this process. Thank you all for your kindness. Everyone has been so supportive through the explant process up until the very end. Highly recommended. 🩷

I cannot say enough about Dr DeRosa and her staff. After consulting with several plastic surgeons regarding a breast reduction and lift, and being very disappointed with my experience with same, meeting Dr DeRosa was a breath of fresh air. She is bubbly, reassuring and confident in her craft, which allows patients to relax in knowing she's going to take the best care of them and do her best work. I am beyond pleased with my results. Her entire staff is amazing and so caring. She has an all female surgical staff and I think that's so cool. Tim is equally amazing! Great personality and certainly on top of things. For the sake of privacy, I don't wish to share my name but so that the Dr and staff know who thinks the world of them, my surgery was 5/20/24, and I was the only patient for the day. Sending a BIG thank you to you all. I HIGHLY recommend Dr DeRosa for all of your plastic surgery needs!

Dr.Amy DeRosa,Tim, Clarissa, Shannon, Rebecca and Wanda... They gave me so much SUPPORT, COMPASSION,CARE, let me. express my self and understanding when I first came in for a consultation. The fact that Dr.DeRosa has gone thru this same procedure is game changing in my mind. Tim fights for you, with you in regards to getting help to cover all bases is Amazing. The time he took alone with me, well speaks volumess!! Rebecca, always made sure all communications were clear and I Understoood things even repeating some things. Carissa CERT.1ST ASST, C.S.T. , Shannon,R.N. and Wanda C R.N.A, OMG... Could there be a finer OR Team? The compassion, laughter and gentleness when I was tearing up meant so much. Dr.DeRosa is also leading the way to get the medical community and insurance companies to recognize that BII is real. There needs to be more education about the dangers of implants. Their not life time devices. Incredibly lucky and beyond greatful to have THE BEST in Explant Surgery with Capsulectomy in Mi. If your outside of Mi, make the trip to come see DeRosa Plastic Surgery. Your life will be forever changed for the better. Don't wait any longer.

Dr DeRosa is talented, caring, personable, and took her time to ensure that I was fully informed and had the best possible outcome. She was readily available to address my questions and concerns both before and after surgery. Because of my past experience, I really did A LOT of research, calling/emailing surgeons, and having office visits before deciding to have Dr DeRosa perform my surgery.

Office review - fantastic team and run a superb office When I required explant surgery, I wanted the absolute best skilled surgeon I could find. Dr. DeRosa certainly delivered! She is a gifted and talented surgeon who truly cares about her patients before and long after the operation. Her husband Tim, the surgical coordinator/educator was very instrumental in making sure I was equipped with all the necessary information needed before I even had consulted with the dr. They are a fantastic TEAM and run a superb office! I would highly recommend Dr. Amy DeRosa!!

Implant removal with areola adjustment and skin excision I choose Dr. DeRosa for my implant removal after doing a lot of research. I ended up driving 8 hours for my October, 2022 consult and after meeting her and her wonderful team knew immediately that I made the right decision! My implants were 23 year old silicone gel that had hardened over the years and had become very uncomfortable. My surgery was scheduled for March 2023. I had Implant removal with areola adjustment and skin excision. The communication between Dr. DeRosa's office myself and my primary care provider was excellent and I was able to have all of my pre-op testing completed in a timely manner. The week before surgery the nervousness was starting to kick in until I got a call from Michelle who would be administrating my Anesthesia. She walked me through everything that would be taking place and totally calmed me down. Because of my conversation with her I went into surgery feeling excited verses nervous! As for Dr. DeRosa, she is extremely professional, warm and caring, concerned, and in my opinion the very best in her field! My results are beyond anything that I was expecting, she is a true artist! I am now 7 weeks out. Recovery is going great! Thank you again Dr. DeRosa, Tim, Rebecca, Michelle and staff!

I had no pain with my lower or upper eyes and had no bruising in 9 days. I also received Chin Lipo which also exceeded my expectations. If you listen to the instructions you are provided and do what they advise you to do, you too should have great results.

I saw a review on a page about Mrs Jessica Wayne and I must confess that she is one of the best trader I've ever seen. She managed my account after I invested $1,200 I withdraw $14,350 within a week. I strongly recommend that you trade with Mrs Jessica Wayne fx, there's no chance of losing your funds when you work with her. DM her Email: jessywayne2j2@gmail.com WhatsApp +1(918)609-3473.

Best breast implant removal experience! Couldn’t be happier with results Dr. DeRosa is absolutely amazing! She was honest, caring and understanding. Never once did I feel rushed or pushed into making my decision. She answered all my questions before I even asked and was honest with everything she said. She did an amazing job and I couldn’t be any happier with my results! Her staff is absolutely wonderful and caring as well. Thank you Dr. DeRosa for giving me my life back and thank you to your staff for being so nice and helpful!

My visit with Dr. DeRosa was as she put it anything but normal, I had a tummy tuck, with a OMG, allergic reaction. But she saw me through till I was totally healed, and the end result is just amazing. I would recommend her to anyone!

What an amazing experience it was!! I am one year and 100 pounds post op from gastric sleeve surgery!!! Dr. DeRosa came highly recommended by my Bariatric surgeon!! I was so nervous coming to this appointment that I was shaking when I was trying to fill out the paperwork!!! Those nerves were quickly calmed by the staff and Dr. DeRosa herself!! I cannot wait to have my procedures and continue on Living My Best Life!!!! Thank Dr. DeRosa and Staff!!!

Today was my first visit to Dr DeRosa’s office. The staff was efficient and welcoming. Tim, the Patient Coordinator, was relaxed and friendly and made what could have been an anxious experience easy and comfortable. Dr DeRosa was exceptional. I am impressed by her skill, her knowledge and her ability to communicate her thoughts and impressions in a clear and understandable manner with a warm and human demeanor. I am so happy to have found this practice.

Dr Amy Derosa has pretty much saved my life! She is so kind and takes the time to sit and listen to you. My surgery was a hard surgery for me and she was honest about what my recovery would be like. If you have heard of Breast Implant Illness this is the Dr you want to see! All of the office staff was so nice and you could tell they really cared about my healing process. #thehealisreal #BII #breastimplantillness

There isn't enough space to write all the wonderful things about Dr. DeRosa and her staff. They are kind, honest people who know their business. I went in expecting one thing and they suggested another option that worked out perfectly for me. They are genuine, real deal people. I will continue to go here for all of my future cosmetic needs as well as anyone in my family who needs advice and options. I recommend them "highly"!

I am an Oncology Social Worker at the Botsford / Beaumont Cancer Center in Farmington Hills . I also work contingent at the Hospital and have for the past 30 years . I had the pleasure of meeting Dr.DeRosa at the Hospital and was able to watch how beautifully she cared for her patients . My thoughts were how can someone so brilliant , sweet, kind and caring also be a great Doctor. It was such a great environment to be able to observe her in. Since I also see all of the Cancer Patients at the Cancer Center I felt very confident in recommending her to my patients that had not had the best of outcomes with their past surgeries and felt that she would be able to help them feel better about themselves after meeting with her and hearing how she could help them . I felt very confident and comfortable recommending her to many of my patients . Since I see patients at many different stages of their treatments I would recommend her to the newly diagnosed breast cancer patients to those who had not had the best of outcomes with their previous surgeries . I am also a 3 year breast cancer survivor and requested that Dr. DeRosa do my Lumpectomy . It looked great but I did not have clear margins so I needed a complete mastectomy less then 2 weeks later . I had expanders places and went through chemotherapy and radiation treatments . I returned to work after my surgery and worked during my chemotherapy and radiation treatments. Dr DeRosa came to the Cancer Center and worked with my radiation oncologist Dr James Fontanesi to help plan what would be the best way to radiate my affected areas and to allow for maximum preservation of the radiated breast tissue . This was something that I would never expect a busy physician to do but I totally appreciated how much time she spent making sure I would have the best of outcomes. I think for many women and men going through Cancer Treatments that we feel that we are no longer in control of our lives and outcomes . I feel that Dr.DeRosa helped me to feel that this was just part of the process and that we can make sure that I would have the best outcome possible . Cancer patients also feel that they will never be whole again and Dr. DeRosa honestly does her best to make you feel that she has done everything she can to make you feel that everything has been done that can be to ensure that you feel as much like your old self as you can . Dr. DeRosas new medical facility and staff are also wonderful and make you feel that they are there to take care of you and offer you the best of care . I would recommend Dr.DeRosa to anyone and feel 100 percent comfortable sending anyone to her and her wonderful staff. The funny thing about cancer is that once you have had it you always have that fear in the back of your mind that you can have a recurrence and that you will never be the same again. I think if you surround yourself with good caregivers and physicians that have tried their best to do whatever they can to make you whole again that you just come back stronger . Maybe not the same as you once were but stronger in many ways . I think that people like Dr. DeRosa help you become that stronger person and make you feel that they cared for you and are there for you . Thank you Dr. DeRosa for the wonderful care you have given me and offered to so many others. Sincerely , Jeri M Davis , LMSW

Dr. DeRosa and her staff have been absolutely amazing. From the very beginning they have answered all of my questions and been very understanding. They worked with my insurance which a lot of doctors won't even attempt to do. Last Friday Dr. DeRosa completed a fleur de lis panniculectomy and abdominoplasty with muscle repair at Beaumont Farmington Hills. I could not be happier. My incisions look fantastic and I can't wait to see how much better it continues to get as the healing continues. I would highly recommend her and her office to anyone! She made what was a scary decision a much easier one. I felt comfortable with her from the day I met her and her entire office helped every step of the way. I can't thank them enough.

An accident left my face without a front tooth and feeling like I wanted to hide . After feeling sorry for myself, I decided to make something good out of a bad situation. I looked into expensive and evasive face lifts. Then I spoke with Tim at DeRosa Plastic Surgery Instead of being a sales person, he educated me on my choices for looking better. I had a CO2 laser treatment. The results exceeded my expectations. Tim is still giving me advise, and saved my self esteem. I can't thank the team at DeRosa enough

Dr. DeRosa is so much more than a plastic surgeon. She has given me a new lease on life! I am so thrilled with the results of my tummy tuck and the natural look that she has given to my body. Nothing fake looking in the results she produced and nothing fake about Dr. DeRosa and her staff. She and her staff helped both me and my husband to relax and feel confident before, during and after my surgery. I adore my new shape and Dr. DeRosa! Thank you to her and her staff for everything they’ve done for me, my body and my life. Kim Downey (Tummy tuck, July 2017)
