I’m excited to update you on the success of my collaboration with Indiana University research scientist Dr. Mithun Sinha. Through this effort, we have identified a possible etiologic or contributing mechanism for the condition commonly referred to as Breast Implant Illness. We would like to sincerely thank our study participants for their support of our clinical study on Breast Implant Illness (BII) Clinical Trial number NCT05736354.

The scientific knowledge gained through the resources you provided has enabled us to identify a class of fat derivatives termed oxylipins which could activate immune pathways. This could be a factor associated with the manifestation of symptoms reported by women experiencing breast implant illness.

Recently, we received approval for a study (IRB-approved and NIH funded) through which we will be assessing patient symptoms post explant. We need longer outcomes data, so we hope to hear from patients who explanted with me a year or more ago. If you are a study participant and would like to be included in this project, please reach out to my office (317-575-0330) so we can provide you with the opt-in consent.

After thoughtful consideration of her long-term goals and overall well-being, this patient came to me seeking breast implant removal (explant surgery). Using a gentle, precise approach, we achieved a smooth, natural contour that honors her body’s integrity and unique anatomy.

As a board-certified plastic surgeon with over 30 years of experience in breast surgery, I’ve helped countless women through the explant process, while focusing on safety, compassion, and their long-term health.

While breast implants remain a safe option for many, some patients choose explant surgery due to personal preference, symptoms of breast implant illness (BII), or concerns like capsular contracture. Your decision is yours alone—and I’m here to help you navigate it with expert care and honesty.

📅 If you’re considering explant surgery, I invite you to schedule a private consultation. Let’s talk about what’s possible—together.

Thank you Heather for your review!

I am deeply touched by this beautiful feedback. Providing compassionate, personalized care and taking the time to listen carefully to each patient is what I strive for every day. It's vital that every patient feels heard, cared for, and understood.

Thank you for trusting me with your experience.

A tummy tuck isn’t about chasing perfection—it’s about restoring confidence, creating balance, and helping patients feel more at home in their bodies.

Abdominoplasty is a surgical procedure designed to remove excess skin and tighten weakened abdominal muscles.

Identifying your primary concerns and using advanced techniques for pain management and healing, we focused on sculpting the midsection to enhance natural contours while preserving a soft, beautiful silhouette. A tummy tuck isn’t a weight-loss procedure, but when done with intention, it can dramatically improve core strength, comfort, and confidence.

Can you get a fat transfer at the same time as explant surgery? In many cases, yes and it can be a beautiful way to restore volume naturally.

Fat transfer involves gently removing fat from one area of your body and carefully injecting it into the breasts to enhance shape and softness after implant removal.

But as with any procedure, it’s not one-size-fits-all. That’s why a consultation is key. During our time together, I’ll assess your goals, anatomy, and overall health to determine whether fat transfer is a safe and effective option for you.

Thank you Gwen for your review!

I can't say enough how thankful I am that each of my patients trusts me and feels confident enough to share their experiences.

Full Review: I can’t say enough good things about Dr. Kelley. Such a professional and top notch doctor. I felt very comfortable and confident with her after the initial consultation. She spent a lot of time with me discussing my background, answering my list of questions, reviewing the procedure. I had my breast implants removed with a lift. She was in tune with my symptoms and understood breast implant illness. It’s been almost a year since the procedure and I am thrilled with the results. My breasts actually look better than before implants. Dr. Kelley is meticulous with her work and it shows!

This patient chose to undergo breast explant surgery to return to a more natural version of herself. Her results reflect the care, precision, and customized approach I bring to every procedure.

With over two decades of experience in explant surgery, my goal is always to support women in making informed, confident decisions for their health and well-being.

It’s important to know that breast implants are generally safe and remain a good option for many women. However, every body is different. In certain cases, implants may no longer be well-tolerated or align with a patient’s current health or personal goals. Whether you're navigating breast implant illness (BII), capsular contracture, or simply seeking a new chapter, your experience is valid and your care should be just as individualized.

Can you safely have a breast lift at the time of explant surgery? For many patients, the answer is yes but it depends on your unique anatomy and goals.

In this video, I explain when it’s safe and appropriate to perform a breast lift (mastopexy) during implant removal. This combined approach can help restore a more natural breast shape and contour.

That’s why a thorough consultation is so important. During your visit, I evaluate your breast tissue, skin quality, and overall health to determine the safest and most effective surgical plan tailored just for you.

Thank you Diane for your review!

I am truly so grateful and appreciative of all my patients.

Full Review: I went to have a consultation with Dr. Christine Kelley about having an explant and mastopexy. I choose Dr. Kelley because of her knowledge in Breast Implant Illness. The minute I met Dr. Kelley I knew she was the one to help me. I cannot say how caring and compassionate she was and her staff. She spent time with me explaining the effects of BII and the procedure. Dr. Kelley and her staff were there for me during the procedure and after care. When my husband met her on the day of my surgery, he was very impressed with her knowledge and care.
I am about 4 months post explant and cannot be happier with the results and care she gave me. Thank you, Dr. Kelley, for all your care and compassion.

This before-and-after shows the thoughtful approach I take to reduce size while enhancing the shape, resulting in an outcome that complements the body and improves overall comfort.

Breast reduction isn’t just about aesthetic transformation; it can also offer significant relief from physical discomfort, such as back, neck, and shoulder pain, as well as improve posture and overall mobility. Many patients experience a boost in confidence and a more active lifestyle following this procedure.

I believe in clear communication and taking the time to guide you through each step of the process from consultation to recovery. My goal is to ensure you feel informed, comfortable, and confident throughout your journey.

Do you need a capsulectomy when removing breast implants? This is a common question I receive from patients considering explant surgery.

A capsulectomy involves removing the scar tissue—or capsule—that naturally forms around a breast implant. Whether it’s needed depends on several factors, including symptoms, the condition of the capsule, and your individual health goals.

In this video, I explain the different types of capsulectomy, when they’re recommended, and how we determine the best surgical approach together. Every case is unique, and your care should be too.
