I'm considering breast implants and breast lift. Who can develop this problem after breast augmentation procedure?I had my rhinoplasty done 4 months ago. The tip is refines and shortened. The tip is still swollen and hard because of scar tissue--really stiff. My plastic surgeon said that it will take a year for tip swelling to go down and show results.I'm wondering if I'll devolp the same hard scar tissue after breast augmentation too that might cause rupture of breast or requring another surgery to remove the hardened tissue? Your help is appreciated in advance.

Answer: Breast Augmentation Complications Complications do not happen often but are related to the quality of the surgeon. So make sure you see a board certified plastic surgeon who has nice before and after results.

Answer: Anyone with breast implants can develop capsular contracture Anyone with implants can develop capsular contracture, and seemingly at any point postop. We really don't know what causes it so giving advice on how to avoid it is difficult. The only thing I know for sure will cause a capsule is a post op hematoma. For this reason, I try to keep meticulous hemostasis in surgery and to see all my breast augmentation patients within a day or two of surgery. Anyone with a possible hematoma is reexplored immediately. They are rare but, certainly will cause capsules down the road.

Answer: Risk factors for capsular contracture Scarring on the nose after rhinoplasty is not related to the type of scarring that occurs with capsular contracture. Most cases of contracture occur only on one side, so it is not simply the body's reaction to the implants either. It does seem to be slightly more common with silicone implants, and implants above the muscle. However, using good techniques it is not common, and the published statistics of more than 10% are far greater than what most of us see in practice.
