Capsulotomy: implant placement repositioning for capsular contracture

25-34 year old woman treated with Breast Implant Revision

This young lady suffered bottoming out of her left breast implant and a rupture of her right breast implant.Her right breast implant was replaced and the pocket for her left breast implant was revised to better suit a new implant. Her results show improved symmetry of her right and left breasts.

1 year result of breast revision surgery. The previous surgeon placed smaller implants in the left breast under the muscle and over the muscle in the right breast (incorrect). Implants were removed, larger implants were both placed under the muscle.

35 year old female underwent revision breast augmentation. She had removal of 450cc gel implants and replacement with 650cc high profile gel implants. She had bilateral capsule tightening as well because the implants would fall into her armpit when lying supine.

Revision Breat Augmentation

42 y.o. female who received a mastopexy with a change in her implants, a drainless tummy tuck and liposuction of her upper back and flanks. She has 300 cc moderate plus profile in her right breast and 275 cc moderate plus profile silicone gel implants in her left breast.

This woman underwent revision breast augmentation surgery. She only wanted the implants moved and positioned higher on the chest. She did not want to undergo a lift because she was afraid of the scars on the front of the breast. Her implants were replaced through incisions under her areola.

Our patient is a 56-year-old Middle Eastern female who weighed 139 lbs and came to Dr. Timothy Katzen two years after her original breast augmentation because her right breast began to feel tight and look less natural from a thickened scar tissue capsule around the implant. Dr. Katzen recommended a right breast capsulectomy, a breast implant revision procedure that removes the hardened capsule to allow the breast to soften, move more naturally, and regain better symmetry. Under general anesthesia, he reopened the prior incision so scar placement remained as discreet as possible, then carefully separated and removed the abnormal capsule from around the implant. This capsule can act like a shrink wrap layer, changing breast shape and making the implant feel firm. Once the restrictive scar tissue was removed, Dr. Katzen refined the implant pocket, confirmed that the implant was properly seated, and shaped the surrounding tissue so that the breast contour appeared smooth rather than pulled. The tissues were closed in multiple layers to reduce tension, support healing, and improve scar quality. After surgery, a supportive bra and activity guidance help swelling settle and protect the repair while the breast softens over time. These photos were taken 2 months after surgery, and her results are remarkable, showing a softer-looking right breast, improved balance between sides, and a more natural breast augmentation shape as healing continues.

Targeted Right Capsulectomy to Restore Softness in Breast Augmentation Revision

A softer, more natural breast shape is often possible after implant revision surgery when painful capsular contracture is properly treated. Our patient is a 44-year-old Asian female who previously had bilateral breast augmentation and later developed bilateral painful breasts because of capsular contracture around her saline implants. She came to Dr. J. Timothy Katzen seeking the removal of the bilateral saline breast implants, bilateral capsulectomies, and replacing them with silicone implants. Under general anesthesia, Dr. Katzen performed this breast revision procedure by removing the old implants, surgically excising the scar tissue capsules surrounding them, and placing new silicone breast implants to improve comfort, contour, and softness. With breast implant surgeries, capsular contracture happens when the natural scar tissue around an implant becomes tight and constricting, which can cause pain, firmness, and distortion. A capsulectomy is performed to remove that problematic scar tissue so the breasts can be reconstructed more healthily. Silicone implants were chosen to provide a smoother, more natural-looking, and natural-feeling result. Her photos were taken 1 month after surgery and already show remarkable early improvement in breast shape, symmetry, and softness. She is also relieved of most of her pain, making her outcome a beautiful example of how revision breast augmentation can improve both function and appearance.

This patient had a breast augmentation from another surgeon and develop a severe deformity. I revised her augmentation by revising her breast augmentation. We removed her old implants and implant capsules. I developed a new pocket under the chest muscle as the old implants were placed above her muscle and had developed scar tissue which moved her right implant up and out.

1 week post breast implant exchange left IMF repair. Patient went from 385 SRF to 695 SRF.

This patient had a deformity after an augmentation by another surgeon. Her muscle was divided too high resulting. in a visible deformity and asymmetry. I removed and replaced her implant. I repaired the chest muscle by sewing it back to her chest at its insertion points. Transitioned the implants to a subfascial plane which is over the muscle. I used an internal bra, Galaflex mesh, to hold the implants in perfect position. I gave her slightly more volume with her new implants.

Before and after removal and replacement of breast implants. This patient had aging subglandular implants that had become hard and deformed due to capsular contracture. I did a removal and replacement removing the old implants and capsules. I then placed the new silicone gel gummy bear SoftTouch implants in a new pocket under her chest muscle. I used a large size as she wanted more volume and shape.

Before and after removal and replacement of breast implants. This patient had aging textured implants placed in the subglandular plane and had developed a capsular contracture. Her breast had sagged over the implant leading to a mismatch between the breast and implant. I did a full or complete capsulectomy removing her old textured implants and capsules. I made a separate pocket under her chest muscle, submuscular pocket, to place her new smooth round implants. She wanted a slightly larger size so we increased her volume by 80cc's. Her new implants should resist capsular contracture as submuscular implant have a lower capsular contracture rate. Her breasts and implants are perfectly aligned, soft, and non painful.
