Various factors play a role in this, such as the original size of your breasts, the type of implant, the duration of the implant and the elasticity of the skin. Removing breast implants therefore leads to different results for every woman. Please do not opt for additional treatment (such as lipofilling or new implants), then you can generally expect the following:

• The volume of your breasts has been reduced because the implant provided this volume.
• The skin may be looser than before, as the skin may have been stretched by the implant.

Many patients express concerns about the results after explantation. They are sometimes afraid of being left with a lot of excess skin and sagging breasts. Fortunately, in most cases, this is not a problem. During the consultation, the doctor will explain what to expect and inform you about possible options for achieving a beautiful and natural result.

With an explantation, you can choose to have your breasts filled with your own body fat. This treatment is called lipofilling. Liposuction is used to remove fat from elsewhere in the body, such as the abdomen, flanks, or hips. This fat is then collected, purified, and injected into the breasts. For this treatment method, it's important that there is sufficient fat in the body to achieve a voluminous result. 

An explantation can be reimbursed if it is medically necessary. To determine this, the health risks and dangers to the patient are considered. This may indicate that the explantation is medically necessary and is therefore covered by your health insurer. If you combine the explantation with another treatment, such as lipofilling or a breast lift, you will pay for this part of the surgery yourself, but you can still receive reimbursement for the explantation. Do you suspect a medical necessity in your case? Don't hesitate to contact us. We are happy to help you develop a treatment plan.
