The procedure to remove breast implants begins with anesthesia, which can be either local or general depending on the situation. After the patient is prepared, the surgeon will create an incision, usually along the same incision lines from the previous augmentation procedure. The breast implant is then carefully extracted, and if necessary any remaining material is removed as well. A crucial component of safe and successful breast implant removal is the Capsulectomy procedure. When a breast implant is placed, the body reacts by creating a capsule of scar tissue around it. This capsule can sometimes harden or constrict the implant, causing discomfort or even changing the appearance of the implant. A Capsulectomy procedure involves the surgeon carefully removing this scar tissue to ensure that the implant can be safely removed, reducing potential complications.
