Answer: Removal of the tissue surrounding the implant. Thank you for your question. After a breast implant is placed, your body forms a layer of tissue around it, which we call a capsule. Capsular contracture occurs when bacteria, bleeding, trauma, or an implant rupture can cause that tissue to harden and shrink. This can cause the breast to become deformed and painful. Open capsulectomy is part of the treatment for capsular contracture. The capsule is carefully dissected free from the surrounding tissue and removed.

Answer: Breast Implant Revision Dear Michelle,Hello and thank you for your excellent question. An open capsulectomy is when the breast implant is opened surgically, and the capsule is removed surgically. It is best to answer your question during a face-to-face evaluation, when you can discuss your goals and expectations for the procedure, and you can have a physical examination to evaluate for that procedure. I recommend that you find a board-certified, or board-eligible plastic surgeon with whom you are comfortable. Be sure to have all of your questions answered during a face-to-face meeting with your surgeon, and review before and after pictures of similar patients whom have had this procedure. If you have any questions, call our office for assistance. Good luck!
