Breast Surgery: Capsular Contracture Treatment Options

Breast Surgery: Capsular Contracture Treatment Options | Aesthetic Surgical Images When patients undergo breast augmentation surgery, they occasionally develop a phenomenon known as a capsular contracture. Capsular contractures occur when breast implants are placed beneath the skin, and the body recognizes the implant as a foreign material and forms a scar around that implant. Capsule formation is normal to some degree in every patient who has a foreign material placed in their body. When inadequate capsule formation occurs, implants tend to migrate out of position, and secondary surgery may be required to correct this mal-position. In other cases when too much capsule formation occurs, distortion of a breast implant can occur with pain and mal-position. Under these circumstances secondary procedures may be necessary as well. The vast majority of capsular contractures occur within the first six months following surgery, but can occur at any time within the post-operative period. In an effort to minimize capsular contracture, most surgeons recommend a regimen of massage in the post-operative period, and place the implant beneath the pectoralis muscle. Despite these maneuvers, capsular contractures continue to occur. Under these circumstances, secondary surgical procedures may be necessary. In some cases, a procedure known as a capsulotomy may be necessary. In this situation, a 360 degree release of the breast implant pocket is necessary. In other cases, a procedure known as a capsulectomy may be necessary. This procedure actually removes the capsule that has surrounded the breast implant. Most surgeons agree that when these procedures are done without additional treatment, success rates tend to be low. It's therefore recommended that patients be placed on a regimen of massage in the post-operative period, and be treated with Singulair and steroids, which both diminish the inflammatory response which has been shown to be an important component and contributor to the development of capsular contracture. When this approach is utilized, the recurrence rate of capsular contracture is low and patient satisfaction rates are extremely high.
