Breast implant removal with capsulectomy is a popular procedure within Tokyo plastic surgery clinics across Tokyo, because more people these days see it as a viable option to not only to improve the size or shape of the breast, but also to relieve discomfort and provide a natural looking appearance.
For residents and visitors, choosing this surgical option allows your plastic surgery to resolve any symptoms of tightness or breast asymmetry whilst allaying any concerns related to aging implants.
Breast implant removal with capsulectomy can resolve capsular contracture which produces a firm or distorted breast, suspected implant rupture, and implants that have shifted position.
Also, it might simply be a surgical option for those wanting a more natural feel.
What’s more, at our trusted Tokyo aesthetic clinic, we emphasize informed choice, clear communication, and comprehensive before & after planning to guide you through each step of the way.
What is Breast Implant Removal with Capsulectomy?
The body naturally forms a thin tissue layer around an implant, called a “capsule.”
Breast implant removal with capsulectomy takes out the implant and some or all of this capsule.
When safe, surgeons may remove the implant and capsule together; in other situations, a total or partial capsulectomy is chosen to protect healthy tissue.
The method is tailored to your anatomy and goals.
Breast implant removal with capsulectomy is a precise form of plastic surgery designed to remove the implant and the tissue pocket surrounding it, helping reduce any tightness in the breast, improve comfort, and allowing the breast to heal—either on its own or lifted, or with added volume through fat transfer.
Key Features of Breast Implant Removal with Capsulectomy
Before the procedure, thorough evaluation by our plastic surgery team is required, with the goal of treatment to be as carefully performed as possible.
Breast implant removal with capsulectomy involves implant removal plus partial, total, or together capsule removal and it can be combined with breast lift (mastopexy) or fat transfer.
The focus of the surgery is on safety, symmetry, and minimizing visible scarring
Potential Benefits of Breast Implant Removal with Capsulectomy
You will experience improved comfort if the breast previously felt tight, distorted, or heavy.
We will clearly evaluate the breast tissue after implant removal.
Plastic surgery provides an opportunity for the breasts to return to a natural shape or a new more natural looking contour.
You will have personal peace of mind with a plan aligned to your values.
When your goals and expectations are met, you will achieve a high level of satisfaction.
How Breast Implant Removal with Capsulectomy Compares with Similar Options
Here is a simple guide to help you compare surgical choices which will be discussed with you in detail at our English-speaking beauty clinic.
Your plastic surgery team will recommend the safest, most effective approach after imaging and examination.
Breast Implant Removal with capsulectomy
This operation removes the breast implant and capsule to address tightness or distortion.
It results in long-term change with no maintenance required for any device.
The typical cost in Tokyo is ¥800,000–¥1,500,000, depending on the complexity of the procedure.
You can expect moderate post-operative pain managed with prescribed pain control.
Most patients are back at their desk in ~5–7 days and full activities in 4–6 weeks.
As in all surgical procedures, there is a risk of bleeding, infection, fluid collection(seroma), contour irregularity, and scarring.
Breast Implant Removal without full capsulectomy
Here the breast implant is removed whilst some capsule may remain.
In the long-term there is often residual capsule tissue.
The cost is usually lower than full capsulectomy.
Post-operative pain is slightly less on average than with full capsulectomy.
The surgical risks are similar to those undergoing capsulectomy and this procedure may not resolve breast firmness if this was due to capsule contraction.
Breast lift (mastopexy) alone
This procedure lifts and reshapes breast tissue without implant removal
The procedure is long lasting but ageing effects and sagging may still occur.
It is often combined after implant removal to address skin laxity.
Fat transfer to breast
Fat transfer adds modest volume using your own body fat.
Some fat tissue stays permanently after healing.
This procedure is commonly paired with implant removal to soften breast contours
