How soon do capsules form after breast augmentation?

It takes roughly two months before a capsule forms. This is how long it will take for the body to form the inflammatory response.

Hello @Gregarious480496, thank you for your question. Capsule formation after breast augmentation is a multifactorial process and can vary in timing. There are several factors to consider, such as where the prostheses were placed (above or below the muscle), if there was any kind of inflammatory response, how cohesive the implants were, and even your own personal healing characteristics. It's important to remember that each patient's situation is unique and a direct consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon is crucial to determine the most appropriate plan for your specific case.

Dear Gregarious480496,
4 weeks after primary surgery is a short period of time for the capsule to form. If you are considering surgery, I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination, you will get more information and recommendations.
