Abstract

Background: With the rise in number of breast implant removals for a variety of indications, strategies to improve aesthetic outcomes, while minimizing scars and operating time, will prove to be of benefit. We present here a novel periareolar sickle skin excision as a good option for women with mild to moderate ptosis and central loss of breast volume following implant removal/capsulectomy. Methods: The ECLiPSE (Explant, Capsulectomy, Lift using Periareolar Sickle skin Excision) was utilized in 53 patients with a median follow-up of 24 weeks. Results: The majority of these patients had breast implants for cosmetic augmentation and the most common indication for implant removal was capsular contracture (n = 47, 88.7%). Forty-six patients (86.8%) scored a high or very high satisfaction with the outcome of the procedure. Conclusion: We believe that the ECLiPSE procedure is a useful option that can produce a reasonable aesthetic outcome following implant removal/capsulectomy while minimizing visible scarring.
