Abstract:
Creating pleasing breast aesthetics after an explantation can be challenging, especially when performed with a total capsulectomy. The necessity of a capsulectomy for a variety of breast issues is not completely agreed on and can increase adverse events, patient morbidity, and cost of the operation and often impairs the final aesthetic result. In this article, an algorithm for the management of explantation patients provides a framework for treatment of the capsule and the breast to optimize outcomes.
