Capsular Contracture

Capsular contracture occurs when the tissue surrounding the implant becomes firm, tight, or thick, causing the breast to become hard and sometimes discomforting.

Although capsular contractures aren’t fully understood, Dr. Azouz uses advanced breast surgery techniques to decrease the chances of this from occurring. To correct capsular contracture, Dr. Azouz generally removes the implant and capsule altogether (breast implant total explantation) or uses new techniques to manipulate the capsule and reduce the contracture.
