Breast Capsulectomy in Quartz Hospital
About the clinic
Breast capsulectomy at Quartz Clinique in Istanbul, Turkey, is a surgical procedure to remove the scar tissue that forms around breast implants. This treatment helps patients experiencing capsular contracture or implant rupture. The surgery is performed in JCI-accredited facilities like Acıbadem and Memorial hospitals to follow international safety standards.
Indications for Breast Capsulectomy
The surgery is often necessary when the scar tissue around an implant becomes thick or hard. This condition, known as capsular contracture, can cause pain or distort the shape of the breast. Other reasons for the procedure include:
- Implant rupture or leak – Removing the capsule helps clear leaked material.
- Implant size change – The old capsule is removed to fit a new implant.
- Symmetry issues – Adjusting the capsule helps balance the appearance of the breasts.
- Patient preference – Some choose to remove implants and the surrounding tissue permanently.
The Surgical Procedure
Surgeons at Quartz Clinique perform this procedure under general anesthesia. The operation usually lasts between 30 minutes and one hour. The doctor selects the best incision site based on the patient's anatomy and previous surgeries. Common options include an incision under the breast fold, around the nipple, or under the arm.
Dr. Leyla Arvas leads the surgical team with extensive experience in plastic surgery. She holds memberships in international organizations such as ISAPS, EURAPS, and the ASPS. The clinic focuses on personalized plans, starting with a thorough examination to determine the best approach for each patient.
Recovery and Aftercare
Recovery is relatively quick compared to other breast surgeries. Most patients return to their normal daily lives within one to two days. It is common to experience some swelling, bruising, or mild pain during the first week. Doctors recommend using cold compresses and prescribed painkillers to manage these symptoms.
Following the post-operative instructions is vital for a smooth recovery. The clinic provides a specific care plan to help the breast tissue heal and reduce edema. Patients receive guidance on when to resume physical activities and how to monitor their progress. To learn more about treatment options, you may leave a request on Bookimed.
