Who Does the Squeeze Release of Breast Encapsulation

I know of no one that is currently practicing this technique; the hope was that by applying sufficient force manually, that one could break or release the tight capsule about the breast implant.  Unfortunately, the release if effective was only short lived, and often produced additional problems including rupture of the implant, bleeding, hematomas, as well as voiding the warranty from the implant manufacturers.  Currentlly patients are better served with open capsulectomies and replacement of implant if appropriate.

This is an older technique where the doctor would fracture the capsule around the implant in hopes of relieving pain and giving the patient aesthetic improvement.   It was found that patients had a high risk of bleeding from the tear in the capsule and that the problem would frequently recur.  

We now recognize the underlying problem, and recommend a capsulectomy (scar removal procedure), which has a very high success rate in treatment of capsular contracture with a much lower recurrence rate in comparison to the closed (squeeze release) technique.

I wish you a safe and healthy recovery.
