An Enbloc Breast Implant Removal BII the surgical procedure that removes your implant along with the scar tissue capsule all in one procedure. Depending on what your Implant looks like, your surgeon may elect to remove the capsule in pieces or leave significant portions of the capsule in the breast pocket. This is a specialty procedure so it is wise to find a surgeon that has experience with the type of techniques that will need to be done during this procedure. When a silicone implant starts to leak, you can experience health problems, or an elevated BII also known as a Breast Implant Illness.
There could be a variety of reasons your doctor may recommend an En Bloc Explant Procedure. Here are a few reasons you may be a good candidate for an En Bloc Breast Implant Removal:
An En Bloc Capsulectomy is the removal of the entire capsule and scar tissue that surrounds the implant all in one procedure. While En Bloc is a removal is a total capsulectomy, which means the complete removal of the scar tissue capsule.
A capsulectomy is a surgical procedure that main purpose is to remove breast implants that have grown a capsule of scar tissue around the implant. During this procedure your surgeon will make an incision in the capsule and will remove the implant before removing the rest of the scar tissue. This also is a safe method to use in case a portion of the capsule has by some chance fused to the rib cage or a chest muscle and must be left in place as a safety precaution.
After an En Bloc Capsulectomy most patients are allowed to return to light activity and work within a week post-op. Many patients find that the recovery following an En Bloc Removal is easier with recovery than the initial breast augmentation. You will want to wait 3 to 6 weeks based on your doctor’s recommendation to return to vigorous exercise routine.
