Breast Augmentation Revision Surgery for Capsular Contracture
If You’re 고민ing About It?

Over time after breast augmentation, the breasts may become firm or the shape may change. This is commonly called “capsular contracture,” and it occurs when the fibrous tissue that forms around the implant contracts excessively.
The breast may feel hard or painful, and over time the left and right sides may look different, or the upper part of the breast may appear lifted.

Capsular contracture develops through a combination of various factors such as individual constitution, surgical method, and postoperative care. In particular, if tissue recovery after surgery is not smooth or an inflammatory reaction occurs, the capsule around the implant thickens and the contracture worsens. In the early stages, it may begin as a slight discomfort, but over time it can lead to visible distortion.

When capsular contracture occurs, most people consider revision surgery. Simply replacing the implant does not solve the problem; the contracted capsule must be removed or a new tissue environment must be created. What matters in this process is tissue recovery, adhesion prevention, and restoration of a natural feel. A method is needed that improves tissue stability while keeping the existing implant in place.

One of the methods gaining attention recently is BiBall breast augmentation.
This method applies biocompatible ADM (acellular dermal matrix) over the existing implant to help protect damaged tissue and reshape a natural space. Over time, ADM is gradually replaced by the body’s own tissue, offering better compatibility with the human body and reducing the risk of contracture recurring.

BiBall is also characterized by minimizing the incision area, which reduces the burden of scarring and helps tissue recover more smoothly. While traditional implant-based surgery focused simply on replacement, BiBall can be described as a fourth-generation breast augmentation method that focuses on “tissue regeneration” and “restoration of touch.”
It also has a positive effect on easing rippling, helping maintain a more natural and supple shape.

However, the same method is not applied in every case. The most suitable approach can be chosen only after carefully checking the condition of the tissue, the degree of contracture, and the position and size of the existing implant.
Therefore, if you are considering surgery, it is important to accurately understand the current tissue condition and go through 충분한 consultation.

Capsular contracture is not just a cosmetic issue; it is also related to the health of the breast tissue. An approach centered on tissue recovery is needed, and recently methods that use biocompatible regenerative principles, such as BiBall breast augmentation, have emerged as one alternative. If you want a natural feel and stable results, learning about these new approaches can also be a good choice.
