Enbloc Capsulectomy Windsor

Also called an en bloc capsulectomy, the surgery sees the implant carefully removed alongside the ‘capsule’. The capsule is the name for the thick scar tissue layer that can form in some instances.

Whereas usually, breast implant procedures lead to a thin film developing around the implant, this can develop into a much thicker layer of scar tissue which can feel uncomfortable as well as alter the shape and feel of the implants.

Benefits of Capsulectomy

Capsulectomy is a very specific form of surgery and so will only be of benefit in certain circumstances.

When the thick layer of scar tissue as described above has developed, then the surgery will address this by removing both the unwanted tissue (the capsule) and the implant.

Capsulectomy is also used where there are concerns over ‘breast implant illness’. No official link exists between breast implant illness and the implants, yet there are women who feel they have autoimmune type illnesses post breast surgery and then, removing the capsule and implant, resolves these.

Capsulectomy can also help treat capsular contracture.

Given breast implants are not expected to last for a lifetime, the procedure can also be combined with the insertion of new implants.

Capsulectomy Procedure at our Windsor clinic 

The procedure actually begins a stage earlier with a detailed consultation.

Doctor Fazel will discuss your requirements and carry out a full assessment. He will discuss the suitability of the surgery – or indeed if he would not deem it suitable in your case.

A patient’s full medical history is always factored in.

Doctor Fazel would also discuss options around whether you wish to have new implants inserted, or fat transfer might be a good option to help maintain some of the additional breast volume.

No patient will ever be an expert in the many options or techniques available. Instead, it is paramount to choose a surgeon with a high level of skill, experience and specialism, thus ensuring they can deliver the very best results for each and every patient – you included.

Capsulectomy and checking for Disease

Doctor Fazel is a specialist in this procedure and can perform the operation – removing implant and capsule in around 60 to 90 minutes.

The entire capsule (scar tissue) is removed and this is photographed and if there are any concerns at all can be sent to a lab for analysis to check for any disease or health implications.

Benefits of Capsulectomy

Capsulectomy can have many benefits for the right patient.

The thick layer of scarring is gone, and this can improve both the appearance and feel of the breasts – both to touch, but also removing any degree of discomfort that might be a permanent concern.

The surgery can also address breast implant illness, though, as previously stated, no comprehensive evidence exists to link implants to this range of autoimmune concerns.

Finally, the surgery can also do a great deal to boost mental health and self-esteem. Having undergone a breast implant procedure, it can then be distressing to see the thick scarring form and a degree of discomfort attach itself.

Having this resolved is a weight off your mind – especially when with the skilful use of fat transfer the breasts can also retain a youthful, firm appearance.

About Windsor

Windsor is a historic market town in Berkshire with a population of 32,000 as of 2018.

The town is the site of Windsor Castle, one of the official residences of the British monarch.

Located to the south of the River Thames, Windsor lies some 40 miles away from central london.

Windsor of course is known for having historical importance and the Castle was noted in the Domesday Book of 1086.

Windsor (or New Windsor) was significant during the Middle Ages, wealth coming from association with the royal household.

It also grew in importance for religious reasons and it is believed that for a period it was of more importance to pilgrims than Canterbury would have been.

The history of Windsor is very apparent simply by walking through the town, with superb examples of architecture remaining.

Modern visitors to Windsor might also visit LegoLand, with Windsor Safari Park another popular destination.
