What is the current statistic for capsular contracture in breast implant patients?

June 28, 2022

I am planning to get breast augmentation and the most concerned about capsular contracture. I understand that encapsulation is normal for foreign objects introduced in the body. What is the current statistic for capsular contracture in breast implant patients? And in Australia what is the protocol to minimize such problem? Thank you.
