What is capsular contracture and how is it treated?

Capsular contracture is a common reason for women to consider Implant Removal Surgery. After Breast Augmentation with implants, the body’s natural response is to produce a thin layer of scar tissue around the implant that helps keep the implant in place and prevents it from slipping around. This response is normal, but in a small number of cases, the body forms a thick, tight layer of scar tissue around the implant which can cause pain and distortion of the implant and breast tissue. There are a number of non-surgical treatments for capsular contracture that Dr. Moon and Dr. Scurci can recommend, but the most definitive is Breast Implant Removal Surgery.

What are the risks associated with Breast Implant Removal?

Breast Implant Removal in Fort Lauderdale, FL is a safe procedure; however, it is essential to be aware of potential risks and safety considerations associated with it, including: Anesthesia risks Bleeding Blood clots Deep vein thrombosis, cardiac and pulmonary complications Fluid accumulation (seroma) Hematoma Infection Numbness or other changes in nipple/areola sensation Numbness or other changes in skin sensation Recurrent looseness of skin Unfavorable scarring If you experience any concerning or unexpected side effects, please contact our office immediately.
