Capsular Contracture FAQs
How to prevent capsular contracture?
It is not possible to guarantee the prevention of capsular contracture, as the cause itself is not fully understood. However, it’s believed that capsular contracture occurs as part of the body’s immune system response to a foreign object (the new breast implant). Fortunately, there are steps you can take to minimize complications for breast augmentation and reduce your risk of capsular contracture. This includes following your postoperative instructions carefully, such as avoiding strenuous exercise or heavy lifting for a period of time after surgery.
What are the signs of capsular contracture?
The most common signs of capsular contracture include changes in the shape or feel of the breasts, such as the breast feeling hard or looking unnaturally round, as well as pain or tenderness in the breast. The severity of capsular contracture and its symptoms is classified by a four-grade system called the Baker scale. Grade 1 is no noticeable contracture, where the breasts look and feel normal. Grade 4 is the most severe, where the breasts are distorted, hard and/or painful.
How common is capsular contracture?
The frequency of capsular contracture complications varies depending on the type of implant used and the surgical technique employed. Generally, it’s estimated to occur in around 5-15% of breast augmentation patients.
What is the best treatment for capsular contracture?
There are a few treatment options available for capsular contracture. The best treatment may depend on the severity of your capsular contracture and the symptoms you are experiencing. Treatment options include:
- Techniques to break up scar tissue, including massage or acoustic sound wave treatment
- Surgical removal of the scar tissue & implant, before replacing the implant
