Does dense breast tissue (category c) affect capsulectomy?

February 14, 2023
Asked By:twotonebeauty in New York, NY

A mammogram showed I have category c breast density (I'm aware this is a normal finding). I am wondering if this will make it more difficult for a surgeon to perform a total capsulectomy? (I have capsular contracture from 275cc textured, silicone, subpectoral implants which are causing me a lot of pain, and is the reason for the capsulectomy).
