En-Bloc Capsulectomy is a type of breast implant removal surgery that differs from traditional breast implant removal. The en bloc explant procedure has the primary objective of removing both the breast implant as well as the entire surrounding scar tissue capsule in a single, intact piece. This method of breast implant removal is perceived by many as having significant advantages.
Benefits of choosing En-Bloc Capsulectomy rather than traditional implant removal procedures include:
It serves as a robust safeguard, effectively containing any potential hazards within the entire breast implant capsule. Thus, preventing the leakage of fluids, silicone gel, bacteria, chemicals, and other potentially harmful substances into the body.
This method also goes a step further from traditional breast implant removal by promoting thorough removal of all scar tissue. By dissecting the entire capsule as one cohesive unit, it helps ensure that every trace of scar tissue is cleanly extracted from the body. This meticulous approach not only enhances the safety of the procedure but also contributes to the patient’s overall well-being and peace of mind, knowing that the removal process is comprehensive and precise.
Something to consider when it comes to en-bloc removal is that, while it’s an ideal choice for many, it may not always be the best option for every patient seeking breast implant removal. This is because in cases where thin scar tissue capsules have adhered tightly to the ribs, achieving complete removal in one piece can pose challenges.
In exceptionally intricate situations, our skilled surgeon draws upon his extensive surgical expertise and strives to remove as much of the capsule intact as possible. In instances where the scar tissue proves resilient, our surgeon continues meticulous dissection to address any lingering complexities. This approach works to deliver the best possible outcome for patients, adapting their techniques as needed to ensure comprehensive treatment even in the face of challenging circumstances.
