For Dr Wiedner, however, modern implant removal involves much more than simply removing an implant.<\/p>\n<p>The focus is rather on the question:<\/p>\n<p>How can the breast be stabilised in the long term from a biological, functional and aesthetic perspective?<\/p>\n<h2>When implants no longer suit your individual situation<\/h2>\n<p>Modern breast implant surgery has advanced considerably over the past few decades.<br \/>\nAt the same time, many women today are taking a more conscious interest in:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Implant safety<\/li>\n<li>Fabric quality<\/li>\n<li>biological changes<\/li>\n<li>and the body\u2019s long-term resilience.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Some patients come in with specific complaints.<br \/>\nOthers speak less of pain and more of the feeling that their breasts have changed over the years or no longer feel natural.<br \/>\nMany simply wish for a more natural and biological solution following pregnancies, weight changes or long periods of wearing implants.<br \/>\nThis is precisely why Dr Wiedner does not view explantation as a trend or an ideological decision.<br \/>\nFor her, the focus is always on the patient\u2019s individual situation.<\/p>\n<div id=\"read-more-content-id\" class=\"read-more-content \">\n<h2>Breast Implant Illness \u2013 a sensitive and complex issue<\/h2>\n<p>The term \u2018breast implant illness\u2019 describes a very diverse range of symptoms reported by patients in connection with breast implants.<br \/>\nThese include, amongst others:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>chronic fatigue<\/li>\n<li>Muscle and joint problems<\/li>\n<li>Difficulty concentrating<\/li>\n<li>or a general feeling of being unwell.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>From a scientific perspective, this topic must be viewed in a complex and nuanced way.<br \/>\nNot all the connections have been clearly established.<br \/>\nAt the same time, Dr Wiedner believes it is important to take the symptoms of affected patients seriously.<br \/>\nShe deliberately adopts a calm and scientifically informed approach \u2013 free from ideology, but offering honest, personalised advice.<br \/>\nAfter all, not every patient needs the same solution.<br \/>\nAnd not every situation can be assessed in general terms.<\/p>\n<h2>Explantation involves much more than simply removing implants<\/h2>\n<p>The real challenge of an explantation often lies not in removing the implant itself.<br \/>\nThe crucial question is rather how the breast can be stabilised biologically and aesthetically in the long term.<br \/>\nImplants change over the years:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>fabric<\/li>\n<li>Skin tension<\/li>\n<li>Breast shape<\/li>\n<li>Blood circulation<\/li>\n<li>and the entire internal structure of the breast.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Just after:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>larger implants<\/li>\n<li>longer duration<\/li>\n<li>previous operations<\/li>\n<li>or the formation of cysts<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>the tissue is often:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>thinned out<\/li>\n<li>overstretched<\/li>\n<li>physically exhausted<\/li>\n<li>or have become functionally unstable.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If an implant is simply removed, this can lead to:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>breasts that look empty<\/li>\n<li>excess skin<\/li>\n<li>Irregularities in the outline<\/li>\n<li>or instability.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>That is precisely why modern explantation approaches are not solely about removal.<br \/>\nThey are about restoring long-term tissue harmony.<\/p>\n<h2>The role of the capsule<\/h2>\n<p>An important aspect of many implant removals is the issue of the implant capsule.<br \/>\nThe body forms a natural layer of connective tissue around each implant.<br \/>\nThis capsule only becomes problematic when:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>hardened<\/li>\n<li>causes pain<\/li>\n<li>the breast is deformed<\/li>\n<li>or causes chronic tension.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Whether and to what extent a capsule should be removed always depends on the individual situation.<br \/>\nThe key factors are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Complaints<\/li>\n<li>Fabric quality<\/li>\n<li>Previous operations<\/li>\n<li>Implant situation<\/li>\n<li>and the long-term stability of the breast.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Here, too, Dr Wiedner does not take a dogmatic approach.<br \/>\nShe makes decisions on a case-by-case basis \u2013 with the aim of soothing the tissue in the most biologically appropriate way possible and creating long-term stability.<\/p>\n<h2>Autologous tissue and biological reconstruction<\/h2>\n<p>Particularly following implant removal, the patient\u2019s own tissue and regenerative techniques play a particularly important role.<br \/>\nMany female patients no longer wish to have the fullest possible breast shape following explantation.<br \/>\nWhat is often the main focus, however, is the desire for:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>naturalness<\/li>\n<li>Softness<\/li>\n<li>biological rest<\/li>\n<li>and a sense of physical well-being that feels right again.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This is where modern autologous fat and regenerative techniques can be extremely valuable.<br \/>\nAutologous fat is not used solely for volume restoration.<br \/>\nOften even more important are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Improvement in tissue quality<\/li>\n<li>softer contours<\/li>\n<li>Harmonisation of affected tissues<\/li>\n<li>improved skin quality<\/li>\n<li>and biological regeneration.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Dr Wiedner sees significant advantages in this approach, particularly when dealing with thin or damaged tissue.<br \/>\nIn her view, modern explantation surgery is therefore not about making the most drastic changes.<br \/>\nRather, it is about restoring balance to biologically compromised tissue.<\/p>\n<h2>Regeneration rather than maximisation<\/h2>\n<p>A key component of Dr Wiedner\u2019s philosophy is the biological stabilisation of tissue.<br \/>\nIt\u2019s not about achieving the greatest possible volume.<br \/>\nThe focus is rather on:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Fabric quality<\/li>\n<li>Blood circulation<\/li>\n<li>Elasticity<\/li>\n<li>natural transitions<\/li>\n<li>and long-term resilience.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Regenerative processes such as:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Autologous fat transfer<\/li>\n<li>Microfat<\/li>\n<li>Nanofat<\/li>\n<li>or biological tissue concepts<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>They therefore play an important role in modern implant removal strategies.<br \/>\nParticularly following implant removal, these procedures can help the tissue to regain a calmer, softer and more natural appearance over the long term.<\/p>\n<h2>An academic perspective and international expertise<\/h2>\n<p>Dr Wiedner\u2019s research focuses on:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Implant safety<\/li>\n<li>renewable energy concepts<\/li>\n<li>biological reconstruction strategies<\/li>\n<li>autologous tissue<\/li>\n<li>and modern hybrid processes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Topics such as:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Breast Implant Illness<\/li>\n<li>Explantation<\/li>\n<li>Autologous fat transfer<\/li>\n<li>and reconstructive breast surgery are currently the subject of intense international debate.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>She is regularly invited to speak and deliver keynote addresses at international specialist conferences and is actively involved in the international training of plastic surgeons.<br \/>\nThis academic work also shapes her clinical approach:<br \/>\ncalm, nuanced, thoughtful and focused on the long term.<\/p>\n<h2>Naturalness and long-term balance<\/h2>\n<p>For Dr Wiedner, the most challenging aspect of modern breast surgery does not lie in achieving the most dramatic transformation.<br \/>\nRather, it lies in the ability:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>to soothe biologically stressed tissues<\/li>\n<li>to restore natural proportions<\/li>\n<li>and to create long-term, sustainable solutions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Particularly following implant removal, the focus is therefore often less on \u2018more\u2019.<br \/>\nThe focus is rather on:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Quiet<\/li>\n<li>naturalness<\/li>\n<li>Fabric quality<\/li>\n<li>long-term stability<\/li>\n<li>and breasts that feel natural and balanced once again.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>It is precisely in this that Dr Wiedner sees the true value of modern explantation surgery.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is
