Why Some Patients Decide to Have Capsule and Breast Implant Removal
Patients with textured Biocell implants or concerns about BIA-ALCL, a rare form of lymphoma associated with breast implants, are most likely to seek this surgery. If you experience any symptoms or signs suggesting lymphoma, such as persistent swelling or pain in the vicinity of the implant, it is critical to seek expert advice and possibly consider an en bloc capsulectomy. This procedure involves the removal of the implant and the entire capsule in one piece, ensuring that any potentially affected tissue is completely excised.
Understanding Breast Implant Illness (BII)
In recent years, there has been growing awareness and discussion around BII, a term used to describe a variety of symptoms that can develop after undergoing breast augmentation or reconstruction. Symptoms may include:
- fatigue
- chest pain
- hair loss
- headaches
- chills
- photosensitivity
- chronic pain
- rash
- body odor
- anxiety
- brain fog
- sleep disturbance
- depression
- neurologic issues
- hormonal issues
If you are experiencing these symptoms and suspect they may be related to your implants, our team can help you evaluate your options for implant removal as a potential solution.
Breast Implant Removal Techniques
Breast implant removal surgery can be performed in two primary ways. The first method involves simply removing the implants and leaving the capsule (the scar tissue that forms around the implant) intact. This procedure can often be done under local anesthesia and is generally quicker and less invasive.
The second method is more comprehensive and involves the removal of both the implant and the capsule, known as a capsulectomy. This procedure is recommended under certain circumstances, such as capsular contracture (where the scar tissue hardens around the implant) or concerns about BIA-ALCL (breast implant-associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma). Because this surgery is more involved, it typically requires general anesthesia and may involve the placement of drains to help with healing.
For all procedures, a detailed history and physical examination are paramount to determine the appropriate course of action. Our team at Jaibaji Plastic Surgery is equipped with the expertise and experience to conduct thorough assessments and provide personalized recommendations.
