The Explant Dilemma: The Decision Towards Explantation

What happens when your body changes—but your implants don’t?

In this powerful episode of Plastic Surgery Uncensored, Dr. Rady Rahban sits down with his patient and friend, Raina, to explore a deeply personal and increasingly common question: What if you’re not sure whether to keep your implants or remove them? From breast augmentation and capsular contracture to animation deformity and the decision to explant—Raina opens up about the physical, emotional, and psychological toll of living in “the in-between.” Not quite loving your implants. Not quite hating them. Just feeling... off. This episode pulls back the curtain on:

• What breast implant illness (BII) might really mean
• The truth about fat transfer during explantation
• Why honesty and surgical flexibility matter more than ever
• And what it’s like to finally feel like yourself again

If you—or someone you love—is struggling with their decision, this candid conversation may offer the clarity and hope you’ve been looking for.
