How to Cure Breast Reconstruction Implant Capsular Contracture

Aspen After Surgery Center23 May, 2025Health

Curing capsular contracture after breast reconstruction often involves surgery. A capsulectomy removes the hardened scar tissue, while replacing or repositioning the implant. For severe cases, switching to a different implant type or using tissue flaps may help. Nonsurgical options like massage, ultrasound therapy, or medications may relieve early symptoms but rarely cure the condition. Consult a board-certified plastic surgeon experienced in breast reconstruction to determine the best approach based on the contracture’s severity and your overall health.
