What can cause capsular contracture years after surgery?

September 26, 2017
Asked By:flycm

During my first breast augmentation consultation, I asked this question to the doctor. She said that any bacteria in my bloodstream could possibly be why some people get capsular contracture years after a BA surgery. If I have unhealthy gums and have Dental work done, was an example she gave. Is that true?
