African american. 23. 5'6. 120lb. My c section left me with a scar that formed a keloid. Most of my family have keloidal skin. My mother can't even pierce her ears. I do have ear piercings. Does this factor increase my risk for capsular contracture if I get a breast augmentation?

Answer: Does being prone to keloids increase my risk for capsular contracture after a breast augmentation? Thank you for the question. There is no known association between keloid formation and capsular contraction around breast implants. You may find the attached link, dedicated to darker skin patients, helpful to you. Best wishes.

Answer: Keloids leading to capsular contracture? Thanks for your question -In our San Francisco practice we perform many breast augmentations on people of all colors, ethnicities and nationalities. We have seen no increase in capsular contracture (scar tissue around the implants) based on tendency to form keloids.In addition, keloid or hypertrophic scarring is unusual (but not unheard of) in the traditional breast augmentation incision patterns.I hope this helps
