What Causes Breast Implant Capsular Contracture and How Is It Treated?

Aspen After Surgery Center29 Jul, 2025Business

Breast implant capsular contracture occurs when scar tissue around the implant tightens, causing the breast to feel firm, distorted, or painful. Causes may include bacterial contamination, hematoma, implant rupture, or the body’s immune response. It’s graded by severity (Baker grades I–IV). Early detection and proper post-op care help reduce the risk and manage symptoms effectively.
