Understanding Breast Implant Capsular Contracture

What is Capsular Contracture?

When a breast implant is placed in the body, the body naturally forms a capsule of scar tissue around it. In most cases, this capsule is soft and unnoticeable. However, in some instances, the capsule can tighten and contract, leading to capsular contracture. This can result from various factors, including infection, bleeding around the implant, improper implant placement, or an individual's immune response.

Symptoms of Capsular Contracture

Firmness: The breast feels harder than normal.
Pain: There may be discomfort or pain in the breast.
Asymmetry: The affected breast may look different from the other, either in shape or position.
Change in nipple position: The nipple may become distorted or change its position.
