En bloc capsulectomy removes the breast implant and the surrounding scar tissue capsule together as one intact unit. The capsule is not breached, preventing silicone, bacteria, or inflammatory particles from entering surrounding tissue. This technique supports long term safety for patients with breast implant illness or textured implants.
En bloc capsulectomy is widely considered the gold standard because the implant and capsule are removed as a closed system. This technique aligns with the Khan Procedure, a standardized method developed to ensure complete capsule removal, full laboratory analysis, and high-definition surgical documentation.
Complete Removal
100/ 100/ 0 Method
100% of the capsule and implant are removed, 100% of the capsule tissue is sent to pathology and microbiology, and 0% of the capsule is left behind.
Laboratory Verification
Samples undergo CD30 pathology, a marker used to evaluate for breast implant-associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma, and aerobic, anaerobic, and fungal cultures to assess for infection.
No Drain Technique
Designed to support comfort and reduce postoperative concerns.
High Definition Documentation
Photos of the implant, capsule, and chest wall verify complete removal.
Some symptoms suggest that the implant and capsule may be contributing to localized or systemic concerns.
Symptom Indicators
Complete implant removal may be appropriate when clinical findings confirm that the implant and capsule are contributing to structural or inflammatory concerns.
