Am I a suitable candidate for Breast Capsulectomy?
Full capsule removal is an invasive procedure, but it offers excellent results in resolving capsular constriction issues.
The procedure, also known as full implant capsule removal, is performed once contracture has reached a severity which considerably affects the look and feel of the breast or causes significant discomfort.
The best candidates for breast capsulectomy surgery are women who are healthy, psychologically stable and who are fully informed as to what their procedure involves and the reasons for carrying it out.
Who may not be a suitable candidate for breast capsulectomy?
If breasts differ from each other in less than one bra cup size, it is not thought to be in need for surgery. But if a woman does not feel comfortable or experiences some psychological problems due to this, most cosmetic surgeons would agree on correcting such breasts.
Am I of a suitable age for breast capsulectomy?
Ideally, you should be 18 or older. Exceptions may be made for girls who are 16 or 17. The main rule is to wait for at least for three years after beginning of menstruation.
