Aspen After Surgery Center20 May, 2025Health

Breast reconstruction capsular contracture is caused by the body's response to a breast implant, leading to hard, fibrous scar tissue. Triggers include infection, radiation, or implant rupture. Symptoms often involve breast firmness, pain, and visible distortion. Solutions range from massage and medications to non-surgical options like Aspen After Surgery Center’s ultrasound therapy, which softens scar tissue and restores comfort. In severe cases, surgical revision may be necessary.
