Sudden capsular contracture/asymmetry 5 years post under muscle BA? (Photo)

The sooner you can be seen, the more likely nonsurgical treatments can work. Otherwise, you may need surgery to correct this.

Dear Friendly295837,
capsular contracture happens. In fact, every implant has a capsule form around it, its just a certain percentage develop thick capsules. There is a lot we don't know about it actually. Some think that bacteria that gets on the implant during insertion can increase the risk. Thats why we use a Keller Funnel in our practice to reduce that possibility. Our capsular contracture rate is less than 2% because we use a keller funnel as well as meticulous operating room techniques.A capsule can be detected by any experienced breast surgeon at a consultation in person. There are a number of ways Dr's detect. I would suggest going back to the Dr who did your initial implants or to a new experienced breast surgeon. Wishing you the best of luck!
