Capsular contracture refers to the formation of a scar tissue capsule around foreign material in the body. This leads to excessive fibrosis, which involves the hardening of tissues, including collagen, beyond normal protective layers. Over time, this layer can encase the entire surface of your implants. Symptoms may include breast pain, firmness, tightness, and uneven breasts or nipples.
About 10% of breast augmentation patients experience capsular contracture, with 75% noticing it within the first two years after scar tissue has healed. If you suspect capsular contracture, schedule a consultation with Mr Pieri to discuss options for implant removal and replacement.
