Breast Capsulectomy in Paulo Solano plastic surgery
About the clinic
Breast capsulectomy at Paulo Solano Plastic Surgery in Florianópolis, Brazil, is a surgical procedure to remove the scar tissue capsule that forms around a breast implant. This surgery is often performed for patients with capsular contracture, implant rupture, or those choosing breast explantation. Dr. Paulo Solano leads the practice as a Titular Member of the Brazilian Society of Plastic Surgery (SBCP).
The Capsulectomy Procedure
The surgery involves removing the entire capsule of tissue surrounding the implant. This is known as a total capsulectomy. Dr. Paulo Solano performs this procedure in a hospital setting under general anesthesia to keep the patient comfortable. The surgeon may remove the implant at the same time. In some cases, he might exchange the old implant for a new one or perform a mastopexy to lift the breast. The clinic sends all removed capsule tissue for pathology analysis to check for abnormalities.
Personalized Surgical Planning
Dr. Paulo Solano uses exam-driven planning instead of standard formulas. Every surgical plan starts with a physical assessment of the patient. For revision cases, the clinic uses a dermal matrix to reinforce the breast tissue. This matrix provides extra structural support where the natural tissue has weakened. The doctor also evaluates the use of surgical drains on a case-by-case basis. Patients typically leave the hospital the same day or stay overnight for observation.
Expertise and Safety Standards
The practice holds TEMOS accreditation, which follows international quality standards for medical care. Dr. Paulo Solano is highly experienced in complex breast revisions. He completed his residency in plastic surgery at the Federal University of Health Sciences of Porto Alegre. His membership in the SBCP signifies high training standards in Brazil. The clinic provides a dedicated WhatsApp service to help international patients with scheduling and support before they travel.
Recovery and Results
Recovery times vary based on the extent of the surgery and how the patient heals. Patients should expect the final breast shape to settle over several months. While the surgery helps with discomfort from contracture, it carries risks such as bleeding, seroma, or scarring. Following the recovery instructions from Dr. Paulo Solano is essential for a smooth healing process. You can request a consultation for a breast capsulectomy through the Bookimed platform.

Paulo Solano plastic surgery: more details about the clinic
Paulo Solano Plastic Surgery is a private clinic in Florianópolis, Brazil. It operates from a single facility in the city center. The practice focuses on surgical body contouring and aesthetic breast procedures.
Accreditations and Professional Standing
Dr. Paulo Solano leads the clinic. He holds Titular Member status in the Brazilian Society of Plastic Surgery (SBCP) – the society's highest membership rank. The practice also has TEMOS accreditation for international quality standards.
Breast Surgery and Revision Expertise
Dr. Solano specializes in complex breast procedures addressing both volume and position. The clinic uses an exam-driven planning model. Every surgical indication comes from physical assessment, not a standard formula. This approach applies to several procedures:
- Short-scar mastopexy to lift breasts while minimizing scarring
- Mastopexy with silicone implants for patients needing elevation and added projection
- Breast reduction and implant exchange or removal
- Treatment for capsular contracture – firmness or deformation around an implant
For revision cases, the clinic may use a dermal matrix. This internal mesh reinforces breast tissue structure. Implant selection depends on tissue thickness, base width, and the distance between breasts. This ensures proportions fit each patient's frame.
Body Contouring and High-Definition Techniques
The practice offers specialized liposuction and abdominal surgery. These procedures target localized fat and muscle definition rather than weight loss. Key options include:
- Lipo HD (High-Definition Liposuction) to highlight natural muscle transitions
- Lipoabdominoplasty – liposuction combined with a tummy tuck in one operation
- Diastasis correction to repair separated abdominal muscles
- 360-degree liposuction and Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL)
When significant skin laxity is present, Dr. Solano advises whether fat removal alone will work. This ensures the method matches the patient's skin quality and long-term goals.
Safety Protocols and Technology
Safety preparation starts with individualized lab testing. This checks coagulation, kidney and liver function, and metabolic health to plan anesthesia. Every surgery takes place in a hospital setting under general anesthesia with continuous monitoring.
Post-operative care includes early rehabilitation to support recovery. The clinic also guides the person accompanying the patient during the first days at home. For scar management, silicone tape may be used over 12 to 18 months.
Services for International Patients
The clinic treats international patients traveling to Florianópolis for aesthetic surgery. Scheduling is managed through WhatsApp.
