How Can Breast Augmentation Revision Surgery Caused by Capsular Contracture Be Addressed?

Some patients experience pain or inflammatory reactions from time to time after undergoing breast augmentation surgery as time passes.

What is capsular contracture?

It is one of the relatively well-known complications.

It refers to a condition in which the capsule formed around the implant becomes abnormally thick or hard, causing the breast to feel firm

and leading to distortion and pain.

What is the capsule?

When a breast implant is inserted into the body,

it is a thin fibrous membrane naturally created by our body.

It surrounds the implant and is a kind of immune response by which the body protects itself from a foreign object.

What causes capsular contracture after breast augmentation?

1. Lack of post-surgery care

Smoking weakens immune function and greatly reduces the body’s ability to fight bacteria.

Breast augmentation is a surgery in which an implant is inserted, so if an infection occurs, it directly leads to the risk of revision surgery.

2. Contamination

During surgery, the body may react immediately to bacteria that came into contact with the implant,

but if the bacteria remain dormant and react later, capsular contracture occurs.

Or multiple factors may act together.

When capsular contracture occurs

The breasts become asymmetric, the breasts become firm, the implant becomes distorted or damaged, and pain occurs.

Capsular contracture stages

1. The shape and feel of the breasts are natural, and the implant is not felt.

2. There are no visible issues, but the implant can be felt.

3. The implant can be felt, and the breasts become firm; this is a condition that is recognizable to both the patient and the medical staff.

4. The breasts become hard, the shape of the implant begins to change, and pain is felt.

If you are planning revision breast augmentation surgery, identifying the problem through an accurate diagnosis is the top priority.

1. Accurately identify the cause of capsular contracture first

2. Complete removal of the contracted capsule is key

3. Implant replacement

4. Consider changing the implant position

5. Postoperative care

This is because a wrong judgment can lead to yet another revision surgery.

Revision surgery is performed depending on whether the implant is damaged or has aged, and

it is also necessary to carefully reassess the implant that suits the patient, as well as its size and type.

Also, for 6 months to 1 year after the first surgery, swelling and inflammation in the breast tissue fully subside,

and the tissue around the implant finally settles into place.

If revision surgery is performed after this period, inflammation can be minimized and the risk of recurrence can be reduced.

When looking into revision breast augmentation surgery, a more cautious approach is needed.

It is also advisable to lower the possibility of recurrence through continuous postoperative care.
