What are the criteria for a total capsulectomy vs capsulotomy for mild CC or malposition? (Photos)

If you only have mild encapsulation and just want implant lowered a little, you shouldn’t need a complete capsulectomy but I can tell just from photos how bad your capsule is

If you have always had some malposition then a capsulotomy should help the implant to rest in the correct position. If the implant position was correct initially but you have recently noticed the malposition you may be developing a capsular contracture. A complete capsulectomy would not be necessary to correct position if no contracture is present.
