Stem Cell Treatment Helps Recovery and Prevents Recurrence in Breast Revision Surgery for Capsular Contracture

Stem Cell Treatment Helps Recovery and Prevents Recurrence in Breast Revision Surgery for Capsular Contracture

Recently, as more women are trying to overcome their complexes about having small breasts, demand for breast augmentation surgery has steadily increased. As surgical demand rises, the number of patients considering revision surgery due to dissatisfaction with results or side effects is also increasing.

Among the many reasons breast revision surgery may be needed, one of the most typical causes is a condition called “capsular contracture.” Capsular contracture refers to a phenomenon in which tissue surrounding an implant becomes overly formed, causing the breast to harden and its shape to become distorted.

Capsular Contracture Caused by Excessive Capsule Formation, Leading to Breast Revision Surgery

When an external material such as an implant is inserted into the human body, a thin collagen-based membrane called a “capsule” forms as an immune response. If this capsule becomes abnormally thick or contracts, capsular contracture occurs, which makes the breast feel hard and causes abnormalities in breast shape. In the end, revision surgery becomes unavoidable in such cases.

Revision surgery for capsular contracture is performed by removing the excessively formed capsule and adjusting the position of the existing implant or replacing it with a new one. During this process, a breast ultrasound is performed to accurately assess the condition of the capsule and whether the implant is damaged, and then the desired breast size and shape are redesigned through consultation with the patient.

Stem Cell Treatment That Helps Prevent Excessive Capsule Formation and Aids Recovery in Breast Revision Surgery for Capsular Contracture

Recently, a method of combining stem cell treatment with breast revision surgery has been attracting attention. Stem cells have strong anti-inflammatory effects and tissue-regenerating abilities, making them effective in suppressing postoperative inflammatory responses and promoting recovery. In particular, stem cells can help prevent excessive capsule formation by regulating overactivation of fibroblasts and collagen accumulation.

Dr. Kwon Jeong-woo of Thank You Plastic Surgery explained, “Stem cells settle in damaged tissue and help normalize collagen alignment and improve the elasticity and flexibility of the surgical area,” adding, “Because breast surgery involves incisions, scarring cannot be avoided, and stem cell treatment can also have a positive effect on scar reduction.”

Breast revision surgery is more difficult than the first surgery and has a greater impact on the body, so sufficient preoperative consultation and thorough postoperative care are important. In particular, understanding side effects such as capsular contracture, as well as choosing a medical team and clinic with extensive experience and expertise, can determine the success of the revision surgery.
