What happens to the muscle after subpectoral implant removal technique?

Muscles are released to create a space into which the implant is placed.  How and how much of the muscle is release is very variable.  However, regardless of the situation, once the implant is removed from submuscular space (if it was placed under the muscle), there is no change in the way the muscle functions and feels.  If you were able to function with implants in, you will be able to continue after the implants come out.  The muscle will simply heal in it's place.

In my experience patients never complained about any muscle related issue after the implants were removed.

We routinely remove sub-pectoral implants and replace them over the muscle to fix the JUMPING BREAST DEFORMITY, or unsightly wide cleavage with or without armpit breasts.  The muscle is simply relocated and sutured down to the chest wall.  The same can be performed when simply removing implants. If the muscle is pulling and deforming the breast outward, it can be dissected  from its attachments to the breast tissue, stretched back to its normal anatomical position and sutured back to the chest wall.

Hi! There are 2 options for explantation, implant removal while leaving the capsule or capsulectomy. The former lets microscopic amounts of gel to remain in the capsule and the latter will enable the surgeon to remove as much silicone as reasonable without creating significant deformity. However, this operation may require a larger incision and both surgery and recovery time will be longer. Muscles can repair themselves but it is best to consult your surgeon regarding this concern.

In experienced hands, it is entirely possible to do most cases of explantation with the en bloc procedure and muscle repair. Please see the video. Your skin could stretch back under several conditions: (1) if your breast tissue did not decrease over the period from your original breasts; (2) if your pectorals major muscle maintained its bulk; (3) if your pectorals major was not cut during insertion; (4) or if it was cut during insertion, it was repaired successfully after explantation; (5) if your rib contour was not altered by the implants. In other words, your skin has to be supported by adequate volume in the breast. In general, breasts with sub pectoral implants tend to do better than sub glandular implants after explantation, because the breast tissue is less stretched by the implants. Breasts that had no contracture tend to do better.

Once the breast implant is removed, the pectoralis muscle will simply heal back in place without any problems. Nothing else needs to be done. Most implants can be removed under local anesthesia.

The edge of the muscle that was cut to allow for sub muscular placement does not need to be repaired.  The functional origin of the pec major is still intact.
