Implant removal with Capsulectomy

Whether it is because of a change in lifestyle, weight gain, or health concerns, some women may decide to have their implants removed. Most women simply want breast implant devices removed from their bodies. If the implant is a saline-filled device, it may be possible to remove it in the office under a local anesthetic. If the implant is a silicone-filled device, it needs to be removed in an outpatient surgical facility under general anesthesia. Some women want the implants removed, along with the scar capsule that surrounds the implants, known as an implant removal with capsulectomy. This is sometimes referred to as an en bloc implant removal.

Procedure

In a standard breast implant removal, the surgeon removes the implants, but the surrounding capsule remains. In an en bloc or total capsulectomy, the breast implants and the surrounding capsule are removed. Some women may want to utilize their own body’s fat to replace some of the breast volume lost when the implant is removed. Fat transfer adds a small to moderate amount of volume to the breast. Many women opt to have a breast lift after implant removal which can restore breasts to a pleasing shape, without a “deflated” appearance.

Walking

You are encouraged to walk around as much as possible to help reduce the risk of blood clots.
