Can Psoriasis Increase the Chances of Capsular Contraction?

Nobody knows for sure why some patients get capsular contracture although there are many theories. The only concern regarding psoriasis  would be if there is  any on your breasts. If so, the inflammation could slightly increase your risk of infection. If not, then it should be okay to proceed With breast augmentation without any increased risks.

I am not aware of any link between psoriasis and capsular contracture.  If your breast has gotten hard over time, it may be due to scar tissue that formed around the implant.  Capsular contracture is progressive.  Patients usually notice capsular contracture when the implants become hard.  It can also cause distortion of the implant as well as give pain.  You should see your plastic surgeon to see whether you would need implant exchange with capsulectomy.

I know this will not help much but I am unaware of any data that shows and increase in capsular contractures in patients with psoriasis. I do not consider that a reason not to have a breast augmentation. Best of luck.

I have never seen any relationship with healing or scar tissue and psoriasis.

It has never been reported in our literature.
