Is capsular contracture dangerous?

Hello dear, thanks for your post. Any time a foreign object is implanted in the body, whether it is a
pacemaker or a breast implant or an orthopedic device or anything else,
the body responds by forming a thin, wispy, fibrous membrane around it.
In most cases this membrane or 'capsule' stays thin and wispy, but in
some cases over time the capsule may tighten around the implant and
thicken, making the implant feel firm or even
hard. In advanced stages the contracted capsule can even distort the
shape and position of a breast implant. Capsular contracture can be
treated, but it is a surgical treatment, so avoiding capsular
contracture is all about avoiding another trip to the operating room.

Capsular contracture can occur on one or both sides, and while it can
develop early (weeks) or late (years) after a breast augmentation
surgery, in the vast majority of cases it is evident fairly early
following the procedure.Any concern I recommend to keep a closely communication with your PS because he knows better your medical history. Good luck :)

To ease your mind a capsular contracture is not dangerous as a stand alone complication. Pain and deformity as well as hardness is reasons why people get it treated. If you have silicone breast implants you should make sure the implant is not ruptured either by study like an MRI or by surgery. The only way to treat a late stage 4 capsular contracture is breast revision surgery.Good luck!
