I had my breast implants removed, but the capsule was left in. ( I did not have the "En Bloc" procedure done). Is it possible to go back in and remove the capsule? Will this cause additional loss in breast size? Would a breast lift be recommended with capsule removal?

Answer: Capsule removal Hello,I would only recommend removing the capsule if you are having problems. If you aren't having any issues then it's likely best to leave it as it is. An in-person consult with a plastic surgeon will also help you decide whether or not you would like a lift.All the best,Dr. BlaggAustin, TX

Answer: Capsulectomy and breast lift Dear missStephanie,yes, you can have your capsules removed and it should have no significant effect on breast size. Regarding the breast lift, it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.Daniel Barrett, MD, MHA, MS
