A breast capsulectomy is a surgical procedure designed to address complications arising from capsular contracture, a condition where scar tissue forms tightly around a breast implant. This condition can cause discomfort, pain, or an unnatural breast shape. At iQonic, our highly skilled surgeons perform capsulectomies to remove the problematic capsule and, if necessary, replace the implant, restoring comfort and achieving a more natural aesthetic.
Benefits
Relief from Discomfort: Eliminates pain or tightness caused by capsular contracture.
Improved Breast Appearance: Restores a symmetrical, natural shape to the breasts.
Enhanced Implant Longevity: Resolves issues that may compromise the integrity of implants.
Personalised Treatment: Each procedure is tailored to your unique anatomy and goals.
What to expect
Consultation: During your consultation, our specialists will evaluate your symptoms, review your medical history, and discuss your aesthetic goals. Using tools like Adoreal’s Silhouette, we’ll provide a clear visualisation of potential outcomes and explain the procedure in detail.
Procedure: The surgery involves removing the scar tissue capsule surrounding the implant. Depending on your needs, we may replace the implant or leave the area implant-free, achieving a balanced and natural result.
Surgery Day: On the day of your surgery, you’ll be welcomed into our state-of-the-art clinic. The procedure is performed under general anaesthesia, ensuring your comfort throughout. Our expert team will keep you informed and cared for every step of the way.
Recovery: Recovery typically takes 2–4 weeks for most patients. You’ll be provided with detailed aftercare instructions and scheduled follow-ups to monitor your progress. Swelling and tenderness are common initially, but these symptoms gradually subside, revealing your final results.
