If you are facing the prospect of breast revision surgery, you want your experience to be smooth, positive, and effective. It is likely that you have loved your new breasts and your enhanced figure and don’t want to go through a significant change.
When under the care of Dr. Courtney, you can trust that your revision surgery will be performed by a doctor who uses the most advanced techniques, including “en bloc capsulectomy.”
Your body creates a scar tissue capsule around your breast implants – as it does around any medical device. The scar tissue has advantages, as it keeps the implant in place. When too much scar tissue forms and the breast becomes hard or distorted in shape, it is called capsular contracture.
This condition is often uncomfortable and requires breast revision surgery. Various techniques are available to treat the capsular contracture. Not all plastic surgeons use one of the most effective of all techniques, the en bloc capsulectomy. In this procedure, the entire capsule is surgically removed along with the breast implant in a single unit. It takes finesse and superior skills. This approach allows your body to have a fresh start, with all problem tissues entirely removed.
Removing a breast implant due to capsular contracture is a critical surgery for your health, comfort, and confidence. You want to ensure you are under the care of an experienced, board-certified plastic surgeon who employs the latest techniques, including en bloc capsulectomy. Dr. Courtney is a highly skilled, accomplished breast surgeon who will advise you of the most effective approach in your case, which could be this advanced surgical approach to treating capsular contracture.
