What Is Capsular Contracture?
Healing is an individual experience that takes place over time. After an accident or cut penetrates the skin, some people are more prone to developing dense scar tissue. Even if they endure severe wounds, most people will only be left with minor scars that will dissolve with time.
The scar tissue that forms around a breast implant after surgically implantation is fibrous. Tissue encasing any foreign object is formed as a result of this process. This tissue also serves as a stabilizing force for the implant.
However, the tissue capsule that grows around the breast implant might harden and tighten in some situations. Capsular contracture is the medical term for this ailment. Having a hardened scar tissue around the breast implant can cause discomfort.
A more severe contracture can produce chronic pain. Capsular contracture, which squeezes the breast implant, has the potential to deform the breast’s shape, resulting in an unflattering result and look.
Identifying Capsular Contracture:
Clinical examination is the only way to diagnose capsular contracture. For the most reliable diagnosis of this problem, an MRI might be ordered by the surgeons themselves. Implant rupture is the most common cause of capsular contracture, classified as mild, moderate, or severe.
- Breasts in Grade I are soft and appear normal, with a flexible capsule.
- Grade II is when the breast seems normal but is difficult to touch.
- Grade III breasts are firm, deformed, rounded in shape, or the implant appears to be inclined upwards.
- The capsule in grade IV is more complex and more painful, making it more difficult for the patient to walk.
A surgeon will recommend based on the severity of the condition : reconstruction, capsulectomy, and open capsulotomy . Occasionally, further breast augmentation is required as Contracture can regrow and be a repeated problem after each surgery.
