Safe And Proven Breast Implant Removal or Replacement Surgery
According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, breast augmentation continues to be the most popular cosmetic surgery procedure in the US (with 313,735 procedures performed in 2018.) However, some women may need to undergo breast implant removal or breast implant replacement surgery at some point.
The Virginia Institute of Plastic Surgery, led by ABPS board certified plastic surgeons Dr. Burton M. Sundin and Dr. Reps B. Sundin, is one of the most qualified practices providing breast implant removal, breast implant replacement, and breast implant removal with breast lift to suitable candidates.
Capsulectomy Technique for Breast Implant Removal
Total capsulectomy is the foremost surgical technique to perform breast implant removal or replacement surgery. Dr. Sundin will perform this procedure in a less invasive manner using a relatively smaller incision.
Following the incision placement, Dr. Sundin will partially release the scar tissue capsule from the surrounding breast tissue. He will then carefully open the capsule to extract the breast implant. After the implant removal, he will release the remaining part of it from the breast tissue in order to remove the entire capsule from the body. In some cases complete removal of the capsule may not be possible (see below).
Capsulectomy continues to be the safest and most appropriate breast implant removal technique for many women.
