Squamous metaplasia found in capsule biopsy - what is the best course of action?

May 22, 2025
Asked By:ScotchAussie1984 in Sanger, California

I have recently had Bilateral breast implant removal and replace. A biopsy of the capsules show Squamous Metaplasia in both breasts. Although my surgeon has removed the majority of the capsules there is some tissue still left. Have any surgeons experienced this before? What course of action did you take? Thank you.

Connie Hiers, MD, FACS says:

If you have a shaped implant, I suggest exchanging your implants for smooth and round implants. If your implant is placed over the muscle, I would suggest placing it behind the muscle. Your pockets may also need to be tightened.
