I understand that once you get CC, it is hard to get rid of and is more likely to return. As a first time BA recipient, is there anything I can do to help prevent this complication?

Answer: How to reduce risk of capsular contracture before first breast augmentation? Capsular contracture is an incompletely understood entity in which many theories have been postulated but none have been substantiated. Capsular contracture is very difficult to evaluate without a physical exam. If the breasts are soft and pliable, capsular contracture is not likely. Capsular contracture can occur in even the most careful surgeon's practice, and we do not know everything that is responsible for the occurrence of capsular contracture.

Answer: How to reduce risk of capsular contracture before first breast augmentation? Thank you for sharing your excellent question. As you mentioned it is impossible to eliminate the possible risk of CC but your physician can do a number of maneuvers during surgery to minimize the possibility. This can include everything from location of incisions, the sterilizing product for your skin and implant, no-touch implant technique, etc. Because each surgeon has their own technique, best to address this directly during your consultation. Best wishes.
