Polyurethane removal enbloc or total capsulectomy?

Hello @AAmy93, thank you for your question. It is important to completely remove the capsule. It does not matter whether the implants are removed en bloc or if the whole capsule is taken out in sections (complete capsulectomy). Based on the morphology of the breast and the professional findings of the surgery, a capsulectomy will be done, and all of the capsules will be removed. This requires knowledge and dexterity. To shed some light, I share a video. To obtain more information and recommendations, it is best to consult one or more board-certified plastic surgeons. Best wishes! Alan Gonzalez MD, FACS.

Dear Prilage3,
it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. If you are considering surgery, I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination, you will get more information and recommendations.

Enbloc surgery is for cancer surgery only, and includes removing surrounding tissue to get clear margins away from cancer. A total capsulectomy can be done to remove the capsule and its contents including the implant and any fluid. You would have a total capsulectomy.
