What is an Implant Removal and Capsulectomy?

Implant removal and capsulectomy services encompass a range of techniques tailored to your individual needs. A capsulectomy refers to the removal of both a breast implant and its surrounding capsule. This treatment is most often performed in women with breast-implant associated illness (BII) or those with capsular contracture or ruptured implants who no longer desire to have implants.

A Procedure Tailored to Your Needs

Breast implant removal surgery is a personalized procedure tailored to address specific concerns. It's recommended for individuals experiencing issues like capsular contracture (hardening of the breast), pain with implants, or signs of capsule leakage on imaging. Some may opt for removal because they no longer want implants or wish to exchange them.

‘En-bloc’ capsulectomy is typically reserved for cancer-specific cases, like patients with BIA-ALCL. For others, a "partial or complete capsulectomy" procedure, in which the most or all of the capsule and implant are removed together, may be sufficient.

No matter your planned course, we focus on providing compassionate support and understanding each person's unique needs and concerns. We're here to help them achieve their surgical and aesthetic goals, offering personalized care to promote their physical and emotional well-being.

The Day of Your Procedure

During your implant removal and capsulectomy procedure, Dr. Hall and our caring team will prioritize your comfort and well-being at every stage of the process. The procedure is done under general anesthesia. Dr. Hall will then make an incision to remove the implant and scar tissue. If you're opting for implant replacement, new implants may be inserted. If a mastopexy is desired, it can be performed at the same time. The incisions will be closed using stitches, tapes, or skin adhesives. You can trust that our team will support you throughout the process, prioritizing your safety and comfort.

Recovery and Results

Following your implant removal and capsulectomy, it's important to prepare for a proper recovery period. Refrain from engaging in strenuous activities for approximately two weeks. Recovery varies by individual and is influenced by factors like age and extent of the procedure. Initially, take it easy and use pain medication as needed. Most people feel good enough to return to work or activities within a week to ten days.

As you recover, you can anticipate positive changes in breast contour, potentially leading to a more natural and balanced appearance. While adjustments may be needed to achieve your desired outcome, these transformations are aimed at enhancing your overall well-being and restoring confidence in your body. Trust in the process, knowing that each step brings you closer to feeling comfortable in your skin.
