If you are experiencing breast asymmetry, distortion or even pain, your body may have surrounded your implant with tissue that is contracting. Committed to comprehensive patient safety and satisfaction, Dr. Sayed has helped thousands of women with their journeys to remove painful implants. The En Bloc Breast Implant and Capsule removal removes the implant and the capsule entirely. Not every surgeon is skilled in performing En bloc Breast Implant removal, but Dr. Sayed specializes in breast surgery, and has performed thousands of breast surgeries for over 16 years. Dr. Sayed performs En Bloc Breast Implant removal because he strives to give patients the safest techniques possible and remove all foreign bodies associated with the implants. In the case of an implant rupture, the breasts changing in size, the implants changing position, or a patient simply wanting to remove implants, an en bloc breast implant removal might be warranted. Essentially meaning 'as a whole,' the en bloc breast implant removal technique removes the implant and the capsule as an entire unit, making sure no residue is left behind and that the breasts can essentially heal and recover without contamination. Bacteria and materials from the capsule or a leaking implant may cause certain symptoms like pain or distortion of the result. One of the risk factors for capsular contracture is something known as 'biofilm,' a complex mixture of skin cells, proteins, and bacteria that can lead to an excessive inflammatory response. When the en bloc removal procedure is done, the surgeon removes the whole implant and capsule together to avoid leaving behind any biofilm material, so a new implant is less likely to develop a capsular contracture if the patient chooses to have another breast augmentation in the future. An en bloc breast implant removal usually will require the creation of an inframammary incision, but these incisions are easy to hide. Of course, if the patient already has an inframammary scar, Dr. Sayed will try to use the original incision to minimize placing new scars whenever possible. Once the implant has been removed, the breasts' tissue, muscle, or both will be able to revert back to its original position in the chest. Oftentimes, Dr. Sayed will place a drain in the breast to prevent fluid accumulation. To combat sagging, Dr. Sayed can stage procedures and pair the removal with a breast lift and/or Fat Transfer.
