Capsulectomy (Improve Breast Appearance And Contour) [Atasehir]

· Those in Istanbul looking for safer and more comfortable breast implants.
· Those with breast implant rupture or leakage.

· Those who want to restore natural breast softness and shape.
· Those who wish to reduce inflammation or infection around implants.

Capsulectomy is a surgical procedure performed to remove the scar tissue capsule that naturally forms around a breast implant. After breast augmentation surgery, the body creates a protective layer of scar tissue around the implant as part of the normal healing process. In many cases, this capsule remains soft and causes no problems. However, in certain situations the capsule becomes thick, tight, or hardened, which may lead to discomfort, breast firmness, visible distortion of breast shape, or implant displacement. Capsulectomy removes this abnormal scar tissue to address these complications and restore a healthier breast condition.

Capsulectomy also provides important benefits for breast health and comfort. Removal of the scar capsule can relieve pressure around the implant, reduce breast pain, and improve the softness as well as natural feel of the breast. The procedure may also improve breast symmetry and correct shape changes caused by hardened scar tissue. In cases involving implant rupture, infection, or medical concerns related to breast implant, Capsulectomy allows the capsule and implant to be safely removed to support better recovery and overall breast safety.

Capsulectomy begins with consultation by the doctor at our affiliated clinic. During this consultation, the doctor evaluates breast condition, implant position, and the thickness of the scar capsule that has developed around the implant. Imaging tests may be recommended to assess implant condition and confirm whether the capsule has become hardened or problematic.

On the day of the procedure, the doctor performs Capsulectomy procedure under local anesthesia. During the procedure, the doctor carefully accesses the breast implant through a surgical incision and removes the scar tissue capsule that surrounds the implant. In certain cases, the implant and capsule are removed together to ensure complete removal of problematic tissue. Removal of the capsule helps relieve pressure around the implant, improve breast softness, and restore a more natural breast shape.

After the procedure, recovery begins with a short observation period before returning home on the same day or the following day depending on the treatment plan. Mild swelling, tightness, or discomfort may occur during the early recovery phase. Most daily activities can gradually resume within 1 to 2 weeks, while more strenuous physical activity may require 4 to 6 weeks of healing time.
