How Does Enbloc Capsulectomy Remove Breast Implants and Capsules?
You've had implants for years, and now something feels off. Perhaps the shape has shifted, the breast feels tight, or you're simply ready to have them out. Somewhere in your research you've probably heard of Enbloc Capsulectomy. In this procedure, the implant and the scar capsule around it are removed together as one unit, rather than one after the other. Here's how that differs from other kinds of capsulectomy.
During en bloc breast implant removal, the implant and its capsule are lifted out together, intact, as one piece. With partial or total capsulectomy, the implant comes out first, and the scar tissue follows. Because en bloc surgery is more involved, it can take significantly longer, and it's usually chosen for a specific clinical reason. Mr Philip Turton, who wrote the UK national guidelines on BIA-ALCL, can tell you whether it fits your case.
For the right patient, Enbloc Capsulectomy can be a reassuring answer, but it's a big decision to make alone. Mr Turton works exclusively in breast surgery, has helped train over 20 specialist registrars and fellows, and can combine implant removal with an uplift when shape needs restoring.
