Capsular Contracture
Capsular contracture and breast implant hardening is not an uncommon complaint among women who have had breast implants for over a decade. Clinicians believe that breast implant capsular contracture occurs because of a soft tissue reaction between the breast parenchyma and the implant. The breast implant surface may influence autoimmune factors that cause fibrosis, tissue, hardening, scar formation, and hardening of the breasts. If this hardening becomes progressive, it may lead to breast implant malposition and displacement. In the very rare case, a breast implant may extrude from the tissue surface if the body continues to reject the implant.
There are several treatment options for a capsular contracture and this all depends on the amount of breast tissue, implant hardening, scar fibrosis, and implant malposition. Since this is a chronic issue, breast implant capsular contracture may lead to cosmetic and medical complications, including displacement of the implant, changes in breast, shape, discomfort, and ultimately pain. Understanding the symptoms is an important part of your treatment options as the surgical solutions may be impacted by your individual symptoms.
