En Bloc Capsulectomy in Miami

En Bloc Capsulectomy is a specialized surgical technique primarily used to remove breast implants and the surrounding scar tissue, or capsule, as a single unit. This approach is often recommended for patients experiencing complications such as implant rupture, capsular contracture, or breast implant illness. At BeautyLand Plastic Surgery, our skilled surgeons, Dr. Oliver Pope Simmons M.D. and Dr. Jaime Flores M.D., are proficient in performing this meticulous procedure to ensure the best outcomes for our patients.

What is En Bloc Capsulectomy?

En Bloc Capsulectomy involves the complete removal of the breast implant along with the surrounding capsule of scar tissue. This method ensures that any potential contaminants, such as silicone or biofilm, are entirely removed, reducing the risk of further complications.

Indications for En Bloc Capsulectomy

  • Ruptured breast implants
  • Severe capsular contracture (Grade III or IV)
  • Chronic pain or discomfort
  • Suspected breast implant illness
  • Persistent breast asymmetry or deformity
Steps To Proceed

Surgical Technique

  • Anesthesia

    The procedure is performed under general anesthesia to ensure patient comfort.

  • Incision

    An incision is made, typically along the inframammary fold (under the breast) or an existing scar.

  • Removal

    The surgeon carefully removes the implant and surrounding capsule as one unit, minimizing the risk of contamination.

  • Closure

    The incision is closed with sutures, and a drainage tube may be placed to prevent fluid accumulation.

  • Recovery

    Patients are monitored post-operatively and provided with detailed aftercare instructions.
