Capsulectomy & Capsulotomy in Bangkok – Safe Breast Implant Correction in 2025
Capsular contracture — a common complication after breast implants — occurs when scar tissue around the implant tightens or hardens.
In 2025, Bangkok clinics lead Asia in offering expert capsulectomy and capsulotomy procedures, restoring comfort, shape, and safety for women with old or problematic implants.
What Are Capsulectomy and Capsulotomy?
Capsulectomy is the surgical removal of the scar capsule around a breast implant. Capsulotomy refers to releasing or scoring the capsule to soften and reposition the implant.
Depending on severity, full or partial removal may be performed — sometimes with implant exchange or breast lift.
Why Capsule Removal Is Important in 2025
Left untreated, capsular contracture can cause pain, distortion, asymmetry, and in rare cases, impact implant safety.
Patients today are more informed and proactive — seeking permanent, low-risk solutions. Bangkok offers:
En Bloc removal (complete capsule + implant extraction)
Implant exchange using Motiva or Mentor gel types
Same-day discharge in mild cases

Ideal Patient Timeline

Day 3: Surgery
Day 4–6: Rest in Bangkok, post-op check
Day 7+: Light activity, optional sightseeing
Recovery varies depending on whether implant exchange or lift is included.
Safety & Surgical Techniques
Bangkok’s surgeons use:
Ultrasound to evaluate capsule integrity
En Bloc method when medically indicated
Biofilm testing for implant infection risk
Most procedures are under general anesthesia with fast recovery protocols.
Why Removal Is Better Than Waiting
While some clinics suggest waiting out contracture, 2025 data shows earlier intervention leads to:
Better aesthetic outcomes
Less scar formation post-removal
Lower risk of future complications
Don't let pain or distortion linger. Early correction is safer and often cheaper long term.
FAQ – Capsulectomy in Bangkok
Q: How do I know if I need capsular surgery? Signs include tightness, pain, hard implants, or distorted shape. An ultrasound or MRI confirms contracture. Surgeons in Bangkok often combine this with implant upgrade or removal.
Q: What's the difference between En Bloc and Total Capsulectomy? En Bloc means removing the implant and capsule in one piece. Total capsulectomy may remove the capsule in parts. Both are safe; your surgeon will explain what’s necessary.
Q: Can I remove the capsule and not replace the implant? Yes. Many women opt for full removal and go flat or use fat transfer. Bangkok clinics support all choices — cosmetic, health, or lifestyle-driven.
