What Is Residual Capsule Removal?

The breast implant capsule is essentially the body’s natural response to the surgically placed implants that are a part of the breast augmentation cosmetic surgery process that some women choose to get.

In this case, the immune system of the body may have activated inflammatory cells and bacteria in response to silicone toxicity. Additionally, the capsule may contain pieces of silicone shells, silicone gel, calcification, and germs. Since the capsule will not vanish on its own once the implant has been surgically removed, it may need residual removal.

The tugging impact that the scar has on the tissue and muscle around the implant might cause some individuals to suffer discomfort in that region. This can happen when the scar forms over the implant. If the existence of implants is posing a health danger as well as creating pain, then the removal of the capsule can be required.

When Does A Patient Need Residual Capsule Removal?

This procedure could be required in the following circumstances:

  • When it is necessary to move the breast implants from a subglandular plane to a submuscular plane.
  • When there is a rupture outside of the capsule of the silicone gel breast implant.
  • When the implants have been causing pain, discomfort or even infection for the patient.
