Questions & Answers
What is the difference between a capsulotomy and a capsulectomy?
A capsulotomy involves surgically opening or incising the hardened capsule surrounding the breast implant to reduce tension and improve the shape of the breast. A capsulectomy, on the other hand, involves the complete removal of the capsule that has formed around the implant, often in more severe cases of capsular contracture. Both procedures aim to relieve discomfort and improve the aesthetic outcome.
When is a capsulectomy or capsulotomy necessary?
These procedures are necessary if capsular fibrosis develops after breast augmentation, in which the tissue around the implant hardens. This can cause pain, deform the breast, or displace the implant. Depending on the severity of the fibrosis and the symptoms, a decision is made as to whether a capsulotomy or a full capsulectomy is necessary.
How long is the recovery time after a breast capsulectomy or capsulotomy?
Recovery time varies depending on the extent of the procedure. After a capsulotomy, patients are typically able to return to work after 1 to 2 weeks. After a capsulectomy, healing may take slightly longer because the tissue is completely removed. It is recommended to avoid strenuous physical activity for 4 to 6 weeks to ensure optimal healing.
