I am experiencing symptoms of breast implant illness and I would like to have my implants explanted en bloc. Is it possible to have my pec muscles repaired?

Answer: Muscle repair after implant removal If the implants were placed under the muscle, and the muscle was partially released as is most common, then the muscle has probably shortened and retracted over time. In most cases, it would be impossible to restore the muscle to its original form.

Answer: Pec muscle repair This answer greatly depends on whether your implants were placed under or over the muscle If under the muscle then yes it is possible to repair the muscle. This is sometimes done by surgeons depending on the intra-op evaluation of the breastpocket/muscle. I dont routinely re-insert the muscle back into the rib cage where it was released from but i do suture it back into roughly the same area. Many times these sutures break or release but its worth a try to have things as anatomical as possible plus it tends to help collapse dead space after capsulectomy Cheers and good luck
