At the Institute of Aesthetic Surgery, we’re committed to your satisfaction through:
“En bloc” capsulectomy removes the implant and surrounding capsule tissue as one intact unit. This technique is sometimes recommended for ruptured silicone implants or suspected BIA-ALCL cases, but requires a larger incision. During consultation, we’ll discuss whether this approach is needed based on your implant type, symptoms, and concerns.
Appearance varies based on how long you’ve had implants, their size, the amount of your natural tissue, skin elasticity, and age. Some experience mild to moderate sagging, while others find their breasts return to near pre-augmentation shape. We’ll evaluate your situation and discuss realistic expectations, including whether a lift might be beneficial.
Many women report improvement in symptoms they associate with implants, such as joint pain, fatigue, rashes, and brain fog. Results vary by individual, and not all symptoms are guaranteed to resolve. We respect your personal experience and decision, regardless of current medical evidence on “breast implant illness.”
We offer complete capsule removal (total capsulectomy), partial removal, or leaving the capsule if it’s thin and asymptomatic. For patients with symptoms possibly related to implants, we typically recommend complete removal. We’ll discuss our recommendation based on your specific situation during the consultation.
Most return to light activities within 3-5 days and normal routines within 1-2 weeks. Initial discomfort is well-managed with our pain protocols. Many patients report feeling immediately lighter and more comfortable. Complete healing takes about 3-6 months.
Yes, your natural tissue remains present, though its appearance may have changed. Factors affecting post-removal appearance include your initial tissue amount, implant size, skin elasticity, age, weight changes, and pregnancy history. Most women are pleasantly surprised by their remaining natural tissue after removal.
