Capsular contracture is a common complication after breast augmentation surgery. It occurs when the scar tissue around the breast implant tightens and squeezes the implant, causing the breast to feel hard, painful, and deformed. The treatment of capsular contracture depends on the severity of the condition and may involve surgery or non-surgical methods.
If the capsular contracture is mild, non-surgical methods such as massage, steroid injections, or ultrasound therapy may be tried first. These methods can help to break up the scar tissue and reduce the tightness around the implant. However, if the capsular contracture is severe, surgery may be necessary to remove the scar tissue and replace the implant.
The healing time after capsular contracture treatment can vary depending on the individual and the treatment method used. In general, it takes several weeks to months for the incision to heal and for the breast to return to its normal shape and texture. During this time, it is important to follow the doctor's instructions for post-operative care, which may include wearing a supportive bra, avoiding strenuous activity, and taking antibiotics to prevent infection.
It is also important to note that capsular contracture can recur after treatment, especially if the underlying cause is not addressed. To reduce the risk of recurrence, it is important to choose a qualified plastic surgeon, follow the doctor's advice on implant selection and placement, and maintain a healthy lifestyle.
If you are considering capsular contracture treatment, it is best to consult with a plastic surgeon who has experience in treating this condition. They can assess your individual situation and recommend the most appropriate treatment options for you. Additionally, it is important to have realistic expectations about the outcome of the treatment and to understand the potential risks and complications.
