What is capsular contracture after breast surgery?

The most common natural phenomenon causing patients to return to our office after breast surgery is scar tissue formation with hardening of the breasts, referred to as capsular contracture. The body forms its own protective barrier surrounding any type of surgical material or implant placed. The body creates a barrier of collagen, fibroblast and blood vessels to protect itself.

These form a glistening white capsule around the implant bag. This is completely normal. In the event the bag should tighten and harden, or become visibly distorted, this can be extremely painful and is referred to as a Baker IV Contracture.

Inamed Corporation has shown that up to sixteen percent of women will develop severe encapsulation of their breast implants approximately seven years after surgery.
