“…10,11 In literature, studies and tests' reliability of periprosthetic capsule are already discussed, because of its intrinsic strength and good vascularization. 12,13 The use of this capsule as a flap is described by Imran et al, 14 to correct contour deformities of the breast. Other authors described capsular flaps to cover exposed implants after skin-sparing mastectomy and immediate breast reconstruction.…”

“…This tissue is made up of collagen fibers arranged in a dense network with an excellent blood supply, making it physically strong and physiologically biocompatible. 31,32 To our knowledge, Imran et al 33 first used the term for an inferiorly based capsular flap to correct a contour defect from a lumpectomy. Since then, many authors have reported using part of this capsule as a local flap in revision breast surgery for correction of aesthetic 34,35 and reconstructive 36,37 defects.…”

Background: Secondary aesthetic breast surgery is a complex and challenging scenario. It requires the surgeon to identify contributing factors, provide patient education, make a further management plan, and optimize the conditions for a favorable result. Various techniques have been described in literature but the rate of reoperation is still high. The first author has been using a supero-anterior capsular flap with a neopectoral subcapsular pocket and an implant change in these cases. Objectives: To review the patient characteristics, indications, and early results of using part of the existing implant capsule for secondary subpectoral breast augmentations. Methods: All patients who underwent secondary breast augmentation, over a period of 2 years by the first author (P.M.), using the supero-anterior capsular flap technique were included. The technique involves dissection of a new subpectoral pocket and uses the existing implant capsule as an internal brassiere. Results: A total of 36 patients were operated by this technique. Of these, 17 patients had developed a complication while 19 patients wanted a change in size only. At a mean follow up of 10.2 months, there was no bottoming out, double bubble, or capsular contracture. Conclusions: This reliable technique provides stable results as shown by low rate of complications with the existing follow up.
