A proper breast implant consultation must include detailed measurements of your entire body. Additionally, going to a surgeon that has all the breast implant sizes on hand is a huge component to choosing the ideal breast correction of capsular contracture and asymmetry.
Capsular contracture
Capsular contracture occurs when the scar tissue or capsule that forms around the implant tightens and squeezes the implant. This may result in shifting the position of the implant and even chronic chest pain. In this case, you may need a capsulectomy and capsulotomy.
In a capsular contracture and asymmetry procedure involves removing this scarred capsule to allow for proper placement of the new breast implants. Not only will this result in a more harmonious and ideal breast appearance, but it will also leave any chest pain your prior surgery may have caused you.
Patients may desire a breast augmentation revision for various reasons like correcting capsular contracture and asymmetry.
