Procedure Details

This returning patient presented to Dr.Andrea Basile with a grade four capsular contracture on the left breast. Capsular contracture occurs when the scar tissue around the implant thickens which can cause discomfort and can change the appearance of the shape/ positioning of the breasts. In this particular case, the implant on the left was being held high. Dr. Andrea Basile at Basile Plastic Surgery in Naples, FL preformed a Left Implant Exchange with Capsulectomy. The patient is six months post op and has reported feeling much more comfortable and symmetrical.

Left Implant Exchange with Capsulectomy. This patient developed a grade four capsular contracture. Capsular contracture is when the scar tissue around the implant gets firm. This can lead to discomfort and distortion in the appearance of the breast. In this specific case, the implant was being held high by the capsule. You can see in the after photos the breasts are symmetrical following the revision surgery. More
