Hi, Capsular contracture is when your body creates a normal capsule around the implant. This capsule could become thicker and could contract over time to squeeze the implants. So this is called capsule contracture, and this is one of the main causes of reoperation in breast implant patients. When we check the signs of capsule contracture, it is uncommon to observe it in the early few months following the surgery. Typically, it starts 1.5 to 2 years after surgery. So it usually happens after 8 months and not later than the third year after surgery. But, there are exceptions, these are some generalizations. When we check the early signs, such as the firmness that the patients begin to feel on their breast, patients usually report that on one side, the breast feels hard and firm, and it looks like the implant looks a little bit higher than normal in position. There could also be associated distortion in the shape of the breast, which may look a little bit constricted. In addition, there could be pain or not, depending on the breast deformity and the associated pain; this may require a reoperation. In reoperation of the capsule contracture, we usually try to remove that pathologic capsule altogether, and we try to replace the implants as well, particularly textured implants, because if you check the implant, you see that the outer capsule of the implant is in an unbelievable close relation with the capsule itself and the overall texture does not look very nice on the capsule as well. So, in most capsule contracture revision cases, we try to replace the implants, and we try to exchange the implants as well. It is reported that the pain is relieved after this revision surgery. There's a special grading system, it's called the "Baker Grading System for Breast Implant-Associated Capsule Contracture," and there are other kinds of conservative treatments for early firmness that patients may feel on their breasts, such as massage, as some anti-asthma medications that are also used in the treatment as well, depending on the severity of the situation. Still, we make a plan for the revision. My comments and recommendations are solely based on your text and are subject to change. I always recommend a face-to-face consultation with a specialist to plan the treatment. Best wishes, Dr. Surmeli.
