What is Capsulectomy Surgery?

A capsulectomy involves the removal of the fibrous capsule of scar tissue that forms around a breast implant. While this capsule is a natural response to any implanted device, it can sometimes become problematic, leading to issues such as: 

  • Capsular Contracture: A condition where the capsule tightens around the implant, causing pain, hardness, or distortion. 

​

  • Implant Rupture or Leakage: Situations requiring removal and cleanup of surrounding tissue. 

​

  • Health Concerns: Such as Breast Implant Illness (BII) or Infection. 

The Procedure

Dr. Farrah Yau customizes the capsulectomy process to each patient’s needs. The procedure is performed under general anesthesia and typically involves: 

Consultation and Planning

Comprehensive evaluation of the implant and surrounding tissue to determine the best approach. 

Capsule Removal

Removing the scar tissue, either partially or completely, depending on the condition and desired outcome. 

Implant Management

Implants may be replaced, removed, or combined with additional procedures like a breast lift for optimal results.
