✨ What Is Capsular Contracture? After breast augmentation, the body naturally forms a thin layer of scar tissue around the implant. This is called a capsule and is a normal part of healing. In some patients, however, this capsule may become thicker and tighter over time. This can cause increasing firmness, pain, breast distortion, or the implant sitting higher than expected. 📌 Mild cases may only require monitoring, while more advanced cases may need surgical treatment such as capsule removal, implant replacement, or revision of the implant pocket. If you notice progressive firmness, pain, or a change in breast shape after augmentation, a proper surgical evaluation is important. #capsularcontracture #breastaugmentation #breastimplants #plasticsurgery #breastsurgery
