Breast explant
Helloand thank you for your question. The short answer is 'no'. I do a significant number of breast implantremoval. As long as the capsule is thin and soft, it does not need to beremoved. In the event of a ruptured gel implant, I do an en-bloc removal of theimplant with a full removal of the capsule. I will also remove the capsule ifit is thick and calcified. Removal of the capsule can be challenging and causebleeding and other issues, so I would only remove it if it is absolutelynecessary. I would seek consultation with aboard-certified plastic surgeon for a full evaluation and advice. Best,Pejman Aflaki, M.D. JohnsHopkins-trained double board-certified plastic surgeon
Thank you for sharing your question. Most likely after three months you could simply remove both implants and not pursue a capsulectomy to help reduce the chance of aesthetic deformity. Hope this helps.
