Answer: Capsules - implants This is something to be discussed with your surgeon. If there are no other concerns with your breast and you just want to remove the implants then it is safe to leave the capsule in. If there have been any concerns about other problems with your breasts that arise from your capsule of the breast then you should discuss capsulectomy with your surgeon.

Answer: Capsules should get removed when removing breast implants to avoid any complications Removal of breast implants, intact or ruptured, may have positive implications if patients are symptomatic. A constellation of symptoms associated with breast implant illness, and autoimmune disease are considered when treating patients who have breast implants and are concerned about foreign body reaction. In our office, we begin this journey with a consideration of symptoms and exclusion of obvious autoimmune problems. In many of our patients, en bloc removal of breast implants with capsulectomy is important and beneficial. Further clinical evidence about breast implant illness is evolving and will continue to guide treatment. I would suggest removal if there is a possibility of foreign body reaction.

Answer: Is it safe to leave the capsules in after removing silicone implants? (Photo) Capsulectomy does not have to be performed in the instance of thin, pliable capsules. Leaving a capsule behind is preferred if it is thin and pliable. If there are calcific components, or silicone granulomatous material, or if the capsule is deforming the breast tissue, then removal of the capsule may be warranted. A number of scientific studies have demonstrated the safety of silicone implants; yet, many patients continue to have anxiety about their use.

Answer: Capsule removal Typically it is up to the patient's discretion to have or not have the capsules removed as long as the capsules are not thickened, are not causing issues, and no implant rupture is detected. If any of those scenarios is present the capsules should be removed. With that being said, if you are worried about what you've read you can choose to have the capsules and implants both removed for your peace of mind.

Answer: Should You Remove the Capsules? Good afternoon!I think it is a good idea to remove the capsules for several reasons- it helps get rid of the space your implants occupied- in other words it is easier for the space to heal closed and your breasts go back to normal without distortion or fluid collections, etc.
