Abstract

Methods: The ECLiPSE (xplant, apsulectomy, ft using eriareolar ickle skin xcision) 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.
