Welcome to Pearlman Aesthetic Surgery for breast explant surgery in NYC on Park Avenue.

We provide capsulectomy and capsulotomy procedures to remove implants and / or scar tissue surrounding them. Dr. Brian Bassiri-Tehrani provides breast enhancement tailored to each patient’s individual goals to deliver the most optimal results.

Implant and Scar Tissue Removal

After a breast augmentation, some women may develop capsular contraction or other concerns from breast enhancement.

Capsular contraction is where scar tissue forms in your body around the implant, encapsulating it. This type of occurrence is generally rare.

Breast implant removal, also known as a breast explant, can be a sensitive topic for those who’ve gone through breast enhancement. Women may get their implants taken out for a variety of reasons, including taste preferences, capsular contracture, or other issues with the implant itself. We provide breast explant surgery in NYC at our Manhattan office.

You’ll meet with Dr. Bassiri-Tehrani at our New York City office for a confidential consultation. With an individualized approach as a top priority, he will listen to your individual concerns and goals for breast explant surgery.

Based on these factors and an examination, we will create an individualized treatment plan for you. This plan will also include if he will partially or fully remove the scar tissue and replace the breast implants.

We highly encourage you to ask questions during this consultation. Our team will walk you through each step of the surgery and recovery process so you can feel comfortable and confident in your decision.

Your surgery will take place at our in-office OR in Manhattan. Dr. Bassiri-Tehrani will follow your treatment plan, either performing a capsulectomy or capsulotomy.

The surgery process takes between 2 to 3 hours, depending on the severity and Baker grade of the breast condition.

The downtime after your procedure will be 1 week.

Dr. Bassiri-Tehrani, our Patient Care Coordinator, and the rest of our team will be there for support and guidance through your post-surgery care. You cannot workout for 1 to 2 months as you heal. We will schedule a follow-up appointment to assess your recovery and results.

The recovery period to recover from breast implant removal is 1 week. For full recovery, it will be 1 to 2 months, where you cannot workout and will limit strenuous activity.
