Solution methods may include: -Implant Exchange It means the replacing your present implants with new one that may be smaller or larger, overfilling to change the appearance of the implants in an effort to decrease rippling, changing the present form of your implants to a new form like High Profile, Smooth or Anatomical implants, changing the exterior of the implants from smooth to textured or contrariwise, or changing the filling of your implants from saline to silicone or contrariwise.
-Capsulectomy During this procedure surgeon removes the whole capsule nearby the implant. Treatment for capsular contracture may be combined with moving the implants into a completely submuscular place and even an replace to a textured surface implant may be performed to decrease recurrence rates.
-Capsulotomy This procedure involves making incisions in the capsule surrounding the implants to change their position. Some doctors think this is an unsatisfactory solution for capsular contracture but is very useful to reposition implants.
-Pocket Change In this method moving the implants from above the muscle to below the muscle is used. It can provide better soft tissue coverage of the implants and in such way reduce a number of the potential complications.
-Mastopexy This is a breast lift surgery. Depending on the amount of reshaping that is required, one of the following may be indicated:
- crescent mastopexy (using an incision from 10 o'clock to 2 o'clock around the top of the areolar edge can lift the nipple 1-2 centimeters); - Binelli (aka donut) mastopexy (using an incision around the external edge of the areola can lift the nipple up to 4 centimeters); - vertical mastopexy (creating a lollipop-shaped incision around the external edge of the areola and prolonging downwards towards the inframammary crease can raise the nipple up to 6 centimeters); - full traditional mastopexy (creating an anchor-shaped or inverted-T shaped incision around the external edge of the areola and prolonging downwards to the inframammary crease and then medially and laterally along the inframammary crease can raise the nipple 8 centimeters or more).
-Internal pocket adjustment (for bottoming out or other location problems - described more thoroughly below).
-Synmastia repair (improving the connection of the overlying skin to the underlying breast bone or sternum).
-Areolar reduction (using an incision placed around the outer border of the areola).
-Correction of a "Snoopy" deformity (using an incision around the outer border of the areola).
-Correction of a tuberous breast deformity (using an incision around the outer border of the areola).
-Correction of natural asymmetry (which may require implants of different sizes or shapes as well as adjustment of the inframammary crease on one or both sides).
