Implant removal with lipotransference is an advanced surgical procedure that combines the removal of breast implants with the patient's own fat transfer.
This technique has gained popularity because it allows the volume and shape of the breasts to be restored in a natural way, avoiding the risks of synthetic prostheses. Dr. Allan Ceballos, certified plastic surgeon, highlights that this option is ideal for patients looking for a safe and personalized aesthetic result.
Lipotransference involves removing fat from areas such as the abdomen, thighs or back, carefully processing it and reinjecting it into the breasts.
This not only makes it possible to recover volume, but also to improve the quality of the tissue, the body contour and the general appearance of the treated area. Unlike conventional explantation, which simply removes the implant, this technique provides a comprehensive and natural solution.
Implant removal with lipotransference combines the removal of breast implants with autologous fat grafting. This procedure allows maintaining or improving breast volume without resorting to artificial materials, using only the patient's own fat. The intervention requires a certified plastic surgeon, such as Dr. Allan Ceballos, to ensure natural results and minimize risks.
The procedure begins with the explantation, that is, the controlled removal of breast implants. Subsequently, a gentle liposuction to remove fat from areas with excess, such as the abdomen, thighs or back. Fat is processed to separate viable cells and remove impurities before being reinjected into the breasts. This approach avoids the use of synthetic prostheses and reduces associated risks.
Unlike traditional explantation, which only removes the implants, the combination with lipotransference allows filling in the space left by the prosthesis. This prevents loss of shape or sagging of the breasts, ensuring more natural and harmonious aesthetic results. In addition, scarring is usually minimal thanks to the combined technique, and recovery can be faster and less traumatic.
This procedure is indicated for women who want to remove your breast implants for aesthetic or medical reasons, and who prefer a natural filling with its own fat. Ideal candidates have sufficient body fat for transfer and are in good general health.
It is also useful for those who seek to avoid complications associated with implants, such as capsular contracture, discomfort or rejection of synthetic material.
It is essential that patients have realistic expectations, since the volume obtained with fat may be smaller than with implants. Evaluation and customization by a certified plastic surgeon is essential to ensure the viability of the graft.
Lipotransference requires precision at every stage to ensure graft survival and a natural outcome. Each phase of the procedure is performed with special care to preserve the quality of the fatty tissue and achieve adequate integration into the treated area.
Careful removal of fat is done in areas with excess, such as the abdomen or thighs. The technique used seeks to minimize cell damage and preserve tissue viability. The fat is then processed in a controlled manner to remove fluids and impurities, leaving only fatty tissue suitable for transfer.
Purified fat is injected in small quantities and in different planes to promote vascularization and avoid irregularities. Dr. Allan Ceballos performs a precise sculpting of the treated area to achieve a natural, harmonious and proportional contour, always prioritizing the patient's safety and aesthetics.
Safety Considerations and Medical Protocols
La security is a fundamental pillar in the implant removal with lipotransference, since it is a procedure that combines two surgical interventions in a single surgery. For this reason, it is essential that the entire process be carried out under strict medical protocols, in certified facilities and by a qualified plastic surgeon.
The extraction and reinjection of fat are carried out in completely sterile conditions, reducing the risk of infections and postoperative complications. Before the transfer, we carefully evaluate the fatty tissue quality, ensuring that it is feasible and suitable for integration into the receiving area.
During the procedure, rigorous control is maintained both of the donor area and the area where the fat is injected, in order to preserve tissue health and achieve a harmonious aesthetic result. The proper selection of these areas is key to minimizing irregularities and promoting proper healing.
In addition, special attention is paid to the amount of fat transferred and its distribution, avoiding overloads that could compromise the survival of the graft. This careful management helps reduce risks such as fat necrosis, excessive resorption or alterations in the final contour.
El postoperative follow-up is an essential component for the success of the procedure. Medical examinations make it possible to evaluate the evolution of tissues, detect any alteration early and provide personalized indications according to the patient's body's response.
During this stage, inflammation, the healing process and the integration of the transferred fat are controlled, contributing to stable and natural long-term results.
It is essential to avoid Excessive compression on the grafted area, since pressure can affect blood supply and decrease fat survival. In contrast, proper use of compression garments in donor areas helps control inflammation and improves skin adaptation.
Adequate hydration, a balanced diet and the relative rest during the first few weeks are determining factors for a safe recovery. Complying with all medical indications and maintaining constant communication with the surgeon helps to minimize risks and optimize the results of the lipotransference after implant removal.
Lipotransference offers an alternative natural, safe and durable to restore volume and improve contour after implant removal.
The use of own fat provides a softer and more natural shape, avoiding the risk of prosthesis rejection. In addition, by extracting fat from areas such as abdomen or thighs, a double benefit is achieved: remodeling the donor area and increasing volume where it is needed.
Beyond the chest, lipotransference is used for buttocks, face and other areas of the body, offering comprehensive and natural aesthetic results.
Fat transfer stimulates collagen and improves the appearance of scars and skin quality. The incisions are usually small, minimizing marks and promoting a refined and harmonious contour.
El Relative rest is key, as is avoiding pressure or massage on the grafted areas. Compression garments control inflammation and facilitate skin adaptation. Follow-up appointments with the surgeon make it possible to evaluate the evolution and detect possible complications.
The consolidation of the results occurs between 3 and 6 months, depending on the technique, postoperative care and fat quality. Smoking, dehydration, or exposure to the sun can affect the durability of the graft.
The implant is extracted, fat is collected through liposuction, processed and carefully injected into the breasts to restore volume and natural shape.
The breast looks more natural after surgery, although the volume may vary depending on the fat transferred and the quality of the skin. Some patients require complementary techniques to optimize the outcome.
Lipotransference is the most natural option. It can also be combined with mastopexy to lift and reshape the breast without synthetic implants.
The results can last for several years, although some of the fat may be resorbed. With proper care, the effects are long-lasting and natural, comparable to implants but with no risk of rejection.
The implant removal with lipotransference represents an advanced, safe and natural option for those seeking to restore or improve breast volume and contour after explantation.
With the experience of Dr. Allan Ceballos, patients can obtain harmonious, safe and lasting results, combining science, technique and aesthetics.
