The surgery is usually performed as a day surgery case under general anaesthesia. The surgery time usually takes around 2 hours depending on each case’s complexity. Whenever possible, an en-bloc capsulectomy is performed.
After the implant is removed, small tubes called drains are inserted to help remove any fluid that might build up. The surgeon will also clean out any leftover parts of the implant’s capsule, any silicone that might have leaked from the implant, and any free-floating silicone. All of these materials, along with any fluid build-up, will be sent to a lab for further examination.
The surgeon, Dr. Marco, will then check the area where the implant was to make sure there’s no bleeding before closing up the surgical wound. The wound is then closed with careful stitching to minimize scarring.
