Explant Done Right: An RN's Experience
WORTH IT
Dr. Sood is, hands down, one of the most skilled explant surgeons out there.
I explanted in November 2025, and from start to finish the experience was seamless. As an RN of 10 years, I do not hand over trust easily—especially when it comes to surgery on my own body. But I felt completely safe in his hands.
He performed a total intact capsulectomy (commonly called an “en bloc” explant in the BII community) along with muscle repair, and provided photographic documentation. He is meticulous. Thoughtful. Calm. And genuinely passionate about helping women dealing with Breast Implant Illness.
Aesthetically? He worked magic.He removed my old, thicker implant scars and replaced them with thin, clean incisions. I was also a candidate for his mini-lift technique, which involved skillful reorganization of surrounding tissues to reshape the breast without requiring additional visible scarring—something I deeply appreciated.
His team is incredible. My post-op nurse was phenomenal. And Laura Bowden is truly a force in this space—she has been advocating for women with BII for decades and provides real, ongoing support. I never felt like “just another patient,” but part of a larger family of survivors and advocates.
My caregiver (Lucie!) took things to another level—managing drains, meds, logistics, even airport coordination—all with humor and kindness. For someone like me who is used to being the caregiver, it meant everything to feel that supported.
I had such a positive experience that I will be traveling back from California for an unrelated benign tumor removal. That should tell you everything about the level of trust I have in his surgical judgment and precision.
If you are researching explant surgeons, do your homework—but absolutely look at his work. Much of it can currently be viewed in his Facebook group or by searching his name within larger BII groups. The results and testimonials speak for themselves.
