Michael C. Edwards, MD answers: En bloc surgery for breast implant removal?

Do I need to have an "en bloc" surgery to have my silicone breast implants removed? Thank you for your time!

If you have the current FDA-approved silicone gel implants, removal should consist of opening your orininal incision and removing the implants. I can not tell you if you will need more surgery than that. It will depend on how much laxity you have of your breast tissue. You may need drains for a few days but it should not require removal of your breast tissue.
