What is a breast implant capsulectomy?

Following breast augmentation a small number of patients may develop scar tissue around the breast implant. This is called capsular contracture and depending upon the severity of the scarring surgical intervention may be indicated to correct this conditions. Capsulectomy refers to the procedure of removing the scar capsule around the breast implant. In most cases it is preferable to remove the entire scar, which is called a total capsulectomy as opposed to just incising the scar termed a capsulotomy.
