En Bloc Capsulectomy with Implant Explantation in a High-Risk Patient with Breast Implant Illness: A Case Report

Abstract

En bloc resection with capsulectomy in breast implant surgery may be problematic and challenging, with limited indications aside from Breast Implant Associated Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma [1, 2]. This is a case report highlighting the technique and tools utilized intraoperatively in higher risk circumstances with a 35-year-old female patient and her medical team requesting explantation with total capsulectomy as a compassionate measure for a perceived contribution towards the patient’s uncontrolled hypertension of unknown etiology [3].
