The answer varies

Hello,

Plastic surgery is an interface between art and science, so there are few absolute answers. We do know that repeated surgery on breasts can decrease sensitivity as more and more breast tissue can be replaced by scar tissue. This is a tendency though and not a definite. There is no "number" of operations that you can avoid to avoid the problem entirely.

Capsular contracture is one result of the scarring around the implants in many cases. It can be increased by genetic tendencies, silicone gel implants, larger implants, radiation treatment and cigarette smoking.

These are amongst the reasons that breast implant surgery is best performed by experienced well-trained individuals to try to minimize these risks where possible.

I cant give you a definitive number as far as how many breast surgeries is the limit. But each additional surgery does increase the risks. This would be all the risks. Meaning capsular contracture risk does definitely increase, especially if the surgery is for capsular contracture.

So, the issue here is that is there and absolute need for repeat surgery. Meaning is simply for going larger or is it for capsular contracture. If you dont need the surgery then dont push the envelope.

Good luck.
