Capsulectomies are an important component of Breast Augmentation Revision Surgery. The term literally means to remove the capsule, but what is the capsule?

The body forms a pocket of scar around the breast implant called the capsule. It is the magenta layer surrounding the implant in grey shown above.

When a Breast Implant, or any implant for that matter, is inserted into the body, a layer of collagen scar forms around it. This is the capsule. The Breast Implant Capsuleserves several functions including:

Holding the Breast Implant in Place

Supplying a Novel Blood Supply around the Breast Implant

Protecting the Breast Implant from Infection

Providing a Shield Around the Breast Implant in Case of Leakage

Why Modify the Breast Implant Capsule?

Normally, the capsule around a breast implant is thin, soft and transparent. It is strong enough to support the breast implant, but not hard enough to be felt. If the capsule is too weak or too strong, capsule work may be needed.

👩‍⚕️ Breast implant encapsulation is a potential complication of breast augmentation surgery. It occurs when scar tissue forms around the implant, causing it to harden and deform. This can lead to discomfort, pain, and changes in breast shape. 🔍 Knowing the signs of breast implant encapsulation is crucial for early detection and treatment. These signs include breast asymmetry, firmness or hardness of the breast, pain or discomfort, and changes in breast shape or position. 💡 If you suspect you may have breast implant encapsulation, it's important to consult with your plastic surgeon. They can evaluate your symptoms and recommend the best course of treatment, which may include implant removal or revision surgery.1. Understanding Breast Implant Encapsulation: Causes and SymptomsBreast implant encapsulation occurs when scar tissue forms around the implant, causing it to harden. 🤔 The exact cause is unknown, but factors like infection, implant rupture, and bleeding may contribute. 🤕 Symptoms include pain, swelling, and distortion of the breast. 🙁 Capsular contracture is a common complication of breast augmentation. 🤷‍♀️ It occurs when the scar tissue tightens around the implant, causing discomfort and an unnatural appearance. 🤦‍♀️ The severity of the condition varies, and treatment options include surgery, massage, and medication. 💊 The Baker grading system is used to classify the severity of breast implant encapsulation. 📈 Grade 1 is mild, with the breast feeling soft and natural. Grade 2 is moderate, with some firmness and distortion. Grade 3 is severe, with the breast feeling hard and painful. Grade 4 is rare, with a complete capsule around the implant. 🙅‍♀️ Prevention measures include choosing the right implant size, selecting a qualified surgeon, and following post-operative instructions. 🙌 Regular check-ups and mammograms are also recommended. 🩺 If you experience any symptoms of encapsulation, seek medical attention immediately. 🚨 Early detection and treatment can prevent further complications. 💪2. How to Detect Breast Implant Encapsulation: Signs to Look Out forWhen breast implants become encapsulated, they harden and cause discomfort. Here are signs to look out for: Hardness or firmness in the breast Pain or discomfort in the breast Change in breast shape or size Breast asymmetry Visible rippling or wrinkling of the implant Breast redness or warmth If you experience any of these signs, consult your plastic surgeon. They may recommend a mammogram or MRI to confirm encapsulation. Encapsulation can occur at any time after breast augmentation surgery. It may be caused by infection, trauma, or a reaction to the implant material. Early detection of encapsulation is important. Treatment options include implant removal or replacement, or surgical removal of the capsule around the implant. Regular breast self-exams and follow-up appointments with your plastic surgeon can help detect encapsulation early and prevent complications. Remember, breast implant encapsulation is treatable. Don't hesitate to seek medical attention if you notice any signs.3. The Role of Breast Implant Ultrasound in Diagnosing EncapsulationBreast implant ultrasound is a non-invasive diagnostic tool used to detect encapsulation. It can identify the presence of fluid or scar tissue around the implant. Ultrasound can also determine if the implant has ruptured or if there are any abnormalities in the breast tissue. It is a safe and effective method for diagnosing encapsulation and monitoring breast health. Regular ultrasound screenings can help detect issues early and prevent complications. 👍🏼👩🏻‍⚕️📈💻🔍💊🏥🩺💉👨🏽‍🔬👩🏼‍🔬4. Treating Breast Implant Encapsulation: Surgical and Non-Surgical OptionsWhen breast implants harden, it's called encapsulation. Here are some options to treat it: Surgical: Capsulectomy, a procedure to remove the capsule, is the most effective option. Non-surgical: Ultrasound therapy, massage, and medication can help reduce the hardness of the capsule. Non-surgical options are less invasive and have fewer risks than surgery. However, they may not be as effective. It's important to consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon to determine the best course of action. Recovery: Recovery time for surgery varies, but most patients can resume normal activities within a week. Cost: The cost of treatment varies depending on the type of procedure and location. It's important to check with your insurance provider. Regular follow-ups with your surgeon are essential to monitor the progress of your treatment and ensure your implants are functioning properly. Remember, breast implant encapsulation is a rare complication, but it's important to be aware of the options available if it does occur.5. Preventing Breast Implant Encapsulation: Tips and Best PracticesPreventing breast implant encapsulation is crucial for maintaining the health and appearance of your breasts. Here are some tips and best practices: Choose a qualified and experienced surgeon for your breast augmentation. Follow your surgeon's post-operative instructions carefully. Avoid smoking and excessive alcohol consumption, which can impede healing. Consider massage techniques to prevent scar tissue formation. Regularly monitor your breasts for any changes or abnormalities. Additionally, it's important to choose the right type of implant for your body. Silicone implants have a lower risk of encapsulation than saline implants. If you do experience encapsulation, early detection and treatment are key. Your surgeon may recommend a revision surgery or other treatments to address the issue. Remember, prevention is the best approach to breast implant encapsulation. By following these tips and best practices, you can maintain the health and appearance of your breasts for years to come. 🙌6. Living with Breast Implant Encapsulation: Coping Strategies and Support ResourcesLiving with breast implant encapsulation can be challenging, but there are coping strategies and support resources available to help you manage the condition. 👉 Coping strategies: - Stay informed about the condition and its symptoms - Seek medical advice and treatment - Practice self-care and stress management techniques - Connect with support groups and other women with similar experiences 👉 Support resources: - Breast Implant Illness and Healing Facebook group - Breast Implant Victim Advocacy - Breast Implant Information website - Breast Cancer Now helpline Remember, you are not alone in this journey. Seek help and support whenever you need it. In conclusion, it's essential to keep an eye on the signs of breast implant encapsulation. Early detection can prevent further complications. 🚨 If you experience any of the symptoms mentioned, don't hesitate to consult your doctor. It's better to be safe than sorry. 🩺 Remember, breast implant encapsulation is a rare but possible complication. Regular checkups and proper care can minimize the risk.

This is the implant capsule from the other side. The white material is calcium and the scar tissue feels like an egg shell. #implantremoval #siliconeimplants #capsularcontracture #myjobiscool #southbayplasticsurgeons

Breast Augmentation Revision Surgery restores and corrects the appearance of Breast Implants that are not satisfactory. When Breast Implants deflate, move or become hard, Breast Implant Revision Surgery might be just what the doctor ordered.

Breast implant rupture after 23 years in place! The left implant simply started swelling up and getting firm to the touch. She required a capsulectomy, exchange of implants, and bilateral wise pattern mastopexy and lateral breast flap. Obviously, ladies and gentlemen, she waited a little too long to exchange the implants. The recommendation is 10 years and swap.

Capsular contracture repair: 7 weeks follow-up. This is a virtual follow-up sent by my patient with filters, etc. she also had a periareolar mastopexy (breast lift) that is still healing. I got into my revision rhinoplasty and revision breast work based on my understanding of wound healing. What I know is that problems that have been present for a long time, typically take a long time to heal. AND the wound healing needs to be managed. This why would REQUIRE out of town patients to commit to follow-uo for both my revision rhinoplasty and revision breast practice. I appreciate my patients allowing me to post their photos. Though it is absolutely not required, you can see how much it helps to follow along with their healing.

This is a smooth surfaced silicone gel implant. This is what I put in patients desiring breast augmentation. It is a medical device designed to enhance the appearance of the breast through volume and shape. If you swipe to the next photo, you can see the textured silicone gel implants from Allergan. These are the breast implants that have been taken off the market.the other day we took these implant out for a patient who had a capsular contracture on the left. As you can see, the implant is wrinkled and misshapen where the contracture was tight and scarred in.
