En Bloc Capsulectomy

About the en bloc capsulectomy.

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, the skilled surgeons, Dr. Oliver Pope Simmons 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

The Beautyland method.

How the procedure is performed, step by step.

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.

Why patients choose this procedure.

  • Removes the implant together with the surrounding scar capsule as a single, intact unit.
  • Recommended when there is concern about implant rupture, BIA-ALCL or breast implant illness symptoms.
  • The intact capsule keeps any silicone, biofilm or atypical cells contained during removal.
  • Often combined with mastopexy in the same session so the breast still looks lifted and natural afterward.
  • Pathology of the capsule is sent for analysis as a standard part of the procedure.

Every en bloc capsulectomy begins with a conversation, never a technique. We do not operate without first understanding what the patient wants to feel afterwards: that is where a good outcome starts.
