I had breast augmentation last year and during my one year follow up my doctor told me I have capsular contracture grade 1. I am scheduled to have a breasts lift next month but I don't know if I need to do anything about the capsular contracture grade 1 or just leave it?

Answer: Capsular formation after Breast Augmentation Thank you for submitting your question. Capsule formation after breast augmentation is part of the normal healing process of your body. Any implant placed in the human body will form a layer around it which is called a capsule. Capsular contracture is when the capsule begins to cause either visual changes, palpable changes, or even discomfort. There are different grades of capsules (as you mentioned) however a grade 1 capsule is the lowest grade capsule that anyone with a breast implant will form. It should cause no breast distortion or firmness and also cause absolutely no pain. So to reassure you, if you have grade 1 capsular contracture, it is completely normal and yes, you can just leave it alone and enjoy your surgical results. Hope this helps.

Answer: Grade 1 A grade 1 capsule is considered a normal capsule. It is optional to have it removed along with the implant or leave it behind. I encourage you to discuss your concerns with your surgeon to determine what is recommended for you.
