I Broke Up With My Breast Implants: Caroline’s Explant Experience

After 8 years of living with 400cc silicone implants, Caroline started feeling differently about them. Later on, seeing coworkers rave about their explants inspired her to seriously consider removing hers.

It wasn't an easy decision, as those implants had been part of her for a whole decade. Caroline shares the emotional rollercoaster leading up to her explant surgery and how she found support from Dr. Swistun and other women who had been through it.

Find out what motivated Caroline to book her capsulectomy, explant, and breast lift on the spot at her consultation with Dr. Swistun and why she opted for a breast lift. And when things didn’t go as planned, hear how Dr. Swistun sprang into action to take care of a hematoma which occurred after surgery.
