Can capsular contraction be the caused by years of breast squeezing? 7 years post breast implant revision.

Asked By:Lolamc in Calabasas, CA

It has been 7 years since I got (2nd set of) implants. All of a sudden one has grown very hard. I had capsular contraction with my first set of implants and that is why I had them replaced (after 16 yrs). Could capsular contract be caused by rough handling? My husband squeezes the daylights out of my breast (always the same one) in the throes of passion. Would this treatment over time cause capsular contraction? Would bia-ALCL cancer cause the sudden capsular contraction? Thank you.
