En bloc removal of breast implants at Dr. Limbourg's practice

The decision to remove breast implants is often driven by the desire to completely remove the foreign material. En bloc removal allows the implant to be removed in one piece, along with the surrounding capsule. Our goal is to offer you a safe and effective solution that meets both medical and aesthetic needs.

Holistic Detox for Your Health

The en bloc procedure is a specialized technique that allows for the complete removal of the implant and the surrounding capsule. This minimizes the risk of residual material remaining in the body and promotes healthy healing.

Combination with cosmetic procedures

After removal, there may be a loss of volume or sagging of the skin. We therefore offer the option of combining the procedure with a breast lift or volume restoration using the patient’s own fat to achieve a harmonious and aesthetically pleasing result.

Procedure for en bloc implant removal

1. Consultation and Planning

During a detailed consultation, we will discuss your wishes and the medical requirements. We will also discuss possible combination procedures.

2. Surgery

The implant is removed in one piece, along with the capsule, through an incision in the inframammary fold. This reduces the risk of silicone or other materials entering the surrounding tissue.

3. Postoperative Care

After the surgery, you will stay overnight at our clinic for observation. We will closely monitor you during the healing phase and are available to answer any questions you may have.

Breast Augmentation with Implants: The Internal Bra

The internal bra provides long-term support for your implant and can be naturally formed by your own tissue during the implant surgery. Depending on your anatomy, we can use various techniques for creating the internal bra, such as a fully submuscular placement or supportive tissue anchors at the lower pole of the implant.

Special techniques – when more than just breast volume is needed

Not all breast augmentations are the same—sometimes a combination of different techniques is the best solution:

Breast Augmentation with Lift:
If both volume and shape have been lost (e.g., after pregnancy), the breast can be lifted and augmented in a single procedure. This creates a more youthful, lifted appearance.
Hybrid breast augmentation:
With this method, we combine an implant with autologous fat. Advantage: The implant provides the basic volume, while the autologous fat ensures smooth transitions, a contoured décolletage, and a particularly natural feel.
Breast augmentation with autologous fat:
If only a slight increase in volume is desired, the breast can also be augmented entirely without implants. The results appear particularly harmonious.
