Body Contouring Following Explant Surgery in Newport Beach, CA
Full-Body Transformation
For many women, removing their breast implants is their primary concern. Many patients, however, worry about what their breasts will look like without implants. While health issues may have prompted this pathway, it may be difficult to find a surgeon who will both be receptive to her breast implant illness concerns, and be skilled at removing the implants and producing a beautiful reconstruction.
At Scultura Plastic Surgery, we do things very differently. Led by explantation super-specialist Dr. Jon Bradley Strawn, we understand the importance of listening to our patients’ needs, concerns, and desires. This is why Dr. Strawn offers his trademark procedure, total correction explant surgery: explantation, breast lift surgery, and fat grafting—all in one transformational procedure.
Below, we’ll focus on the ways Dr. Strawn can incorporate body contouring procedures like liposuction and abdominoplasty along with your full correction, to give you a true, full-body transformation.
What Is Total Correction Explant Surgery?
This is Dr. Strawn’s signature offering, incorporating multiple procedures, to give breast implant removal patients a beautiful result without implants—just take a look at our total correction gallery to see some of his work. Rather than only removing the breast implants, which could leave the breasts stretched, droopy, and deflated, Dr. Strawn offers his patients a total correction:
- The breast implants are completely and safely removed along with the capsule, permanent sutures, and other foreign materials.
- Dr. Strawn then performs a breast lift to reshape the breasts and restore a perky, youthful look by lifting the nipple and removing excess sagging skin.
- A “natural” breast augmentation is performed, using lipo-harvested fat reinjected into the breasts—resulting in shapely, round contoured breasts built with your own natural fat.
It’s the last bonus step where the body contouring happens, as Dr. Strawn doesn’t just remove fat; he contours and shapes the body to highlight your curves exactly where you want them.
What Are My Body Contouring Options?
Most patients know they want to add a little volume naturally to their breasts with fat grafting, but what they don’t realize are the possibilities for contouring the rest of their curves.
Liposuction
The first step to fat grafting is liposuction or lipo-harvesting. During the liposuction process, Dr. Strawn removes excess fat from select areas of your body—most patients choose their abdomen, flanks, love handles, thighs, and even upper arms or knees. With an artistic eye for detail and shape, Dr. Strawn contours the donor areas to create a more aesthetically pleasing look. For example, he can create more of a heart shape for a square bottom, smooth a bra-strap bulge, or reduce the size of that mommy apron. After that, the fat is processed and then reinjected into your breasts to create a more volumized, rounded result. It’s a two-for-one!
Lipo-Abdominoplasty
An additional option for our total correction patients is a tummy tuck. If you have loose skin and pockets of fat from prior pregnancies or weight fluctuations, this procedure might be for you. In addition to the above procedure during total correction, Dr. Strawn can perform a tummy tuck to your specifications, surgically tightening separated abdominal muscles (diastasis recti) for a flatter, stronger abdomen and finally removing excess skin for a tighter tummy.
Tummy tucks are often the only option for patients suffering from loose, stretched abdominal skin and lax core muscles after pregnancy, and these concerns are resistant to diet and exercise. Dr. Strawn can also combine your tummy tuck with liposuction for the fat harvesting process, paying special attention to the hips and back to create a smooth transition between your breasts and your new, tighter stomach.
What Are the Benefits of Body Contouring with My Explantation?
The benefits of including body contouring with your total correction procedure include:
- A more cohesive result between your breasts and body
- Slimming contours where you want them
- Enhanced curves from an expert surgeon
- Greatly increased self-confidence
The last point is what’s important to us—we want each patient to feel as beautiful as they look, which is why we make every effort to help our patients reach their goals in a positive and receptive environment. Removing your implants can be intimidating, but we aim to make this as positive an experience as possible. Body contouring with your total correction means you can achieve more—and you deserve it!
