Case #5570

Description:

Examples of breast implants removed with the “en bloc” technique. The first photo shows the implants with the capsules still on the implants and the second photo was taken with the capsules removed, revealing smooth-walled saline breast implants which were found to be clear and intact. The third photo was from a patient who also had en bloc removal of her breast implants. The capsule was subsequently removed from the implant which was found to be a textured silicone mammary prosthesis.
