Make The Best Decision For You

Capsular Contracture Surgery

Be aware that the body may have a reaction to a breast implant and form a capsule around it. This scar tissue can get hard and cause the breast or breasts to be painful.

This can happen many years after getting breast implants or even soon after surgery. Consider different options: remove the capsule and breast implant completely or remove the capsule and replace the breast implant. Dr. Feledy and Dr. Maiorino are experts at capsular contracture treatment and will help you make the best decision for you.

Capsular Contracture

What is capsular contracture and how does it come about?

One complication of breast augmentation with breast implants is "capsular contracture" or "capsular contraction". The breast augmentation can become effected, painful or uncomfortable as the breasts appear to harden. The problem is the formation of a capsule, a thin layer of body tissue or something similar to scar tissue, has formed around the breast implant. The cause is unknown but it can be treated.
