What Is Capsular Contracture?

After breast augmentation surgery, the body naturally forms a lining or “capsule” around the breast implant, which the body correctly identifies as a foreign substance. A small percentage of augmentation patients develop capsular contracture, in which this naturally-occurring lining unexpectedly hardens, creates pain, causes breast firmness, and distorts the shape and position of the breast implant. No single cause has been identified for the development of capsular contracture, but it can be treated.

Traditionally, plastic surgeons have treated capsular contracture by surgically removing the breast implant and surrounding capsule. At The Parker Center, we offer non-surgical capsular contracture treatment as well as surgical options.
