Can capsulectomy and capsulorraphy be performed at the same time?

Asked By:thatgirl225 in Sanger, California

After my breast augmentation in March of 2023, my doctor confirmed that he had over dissected My right breast implant pocket medially and even though I do not have symastia, the breasts are touching. Over a year later, I have developed mild capsular contracture on the right breast. Now I need a revision to correct two things 1) close the pocket medially 2) capsulectomy to remove scar tissue. I want to know if these two procedures can be done at the same time on my R breast and if it’s safe?
