Breast implant pocket after removal (explantation)

There will absolutely be a pocket after breast implant removal.. Most  surgeons will leave this to close whle some may suture it closed while others will place a drain to help it decrease in size. It may take 6-9 months ot dissipate.

Eliminating the Pocket

The pocket is eliminated by removal of the "rhine" (capsule).  The muscle is stitched back in place.  This eliminates the pocket. Dr. ES
