Capsulectomy
Capsulectomy cases
In an operation in which a breast implant is inserted, a normal process is that a capsule or layer is formed around it. Any breast augmentation procedure involves this process.
However, there are occasions when the capsule reaches an excessive thickness, which can even deform the implants. When we can identify this process, we are dealing with capsular contracture.
Capsulectomy treatment consists of removing the capsule that has grown around the implant and allowing it to grow back in a natural way.
Advantages of capsulectomy surgery
- The results of capsulectomy are immediate and satisfactory for the patient, who gets a symmetrical and aesthetically attractive shape of her breasts back.
- The procedure can be repeated if necessary. If the new layer that grows back presents this problem, it can also be removed.
- It is perfectly compatible with other types of interventions if necessary, such as implant replacement.
