Answer: Capsular contracture Thanks for your question! Without an in-person evaluation, it's impossible to tell you for sure, but it does appear to be capsular contracture. That implant looks high and if it's causing you discomfort, that is likely the culprit. Please seek out an in-person consultation with a qualified plastic surgeon. Good luck!

Answer: My breast look squared 5 years post op. Can this be capsular contracture? A definitive diagnosis of capsular contracture would require a physical examination of the breasts and implants. With your many issues a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon would be recommended. He or she can help you with a diagnosis and offer treatment options.

Answer: Capsular Contracture It certainly is possible that the pain and discomfort you are feeling is related to developing capsular contracture. An en bloc capsulectomy is not the solution for capsular contracture as there is no evidence to support that in the plastic surgery scientific community. I would recommend seeing a board eligible or board certified plastic surgeon for a physical exam and evidence-based recommendations.
