Capsular Contracture is a condition where scar tissue around a breast implant tightens or thickens excessively, causing discomfort, distorted shape, or hardening of the breast. At Coastal Cosmetic Center, Dr. Timothy E. Fee, MD, FACS, and Dr. Jordan A. Bilezikian, MD, offer expert diagnosis and treatment to alleviate your discomfort and restore your confidence.

What Is Capsular Contracture?

Capsular contracture occurs when the natural scar tissue (capsule) that forms around a breast implant becomes overly tight or thick. Whenever an implant is placed inside the body, the body has a natural response to form a capsule-like shell around the object to prevent it from interacting with the immune system. These normal capsules are usually soft and pliable.

However, due to various reasons, some people develop one or two hard capsules around the implant. This can present as breast firmness, discomfort, or visible irregularities in the implant. This may even appear as if one implant is stuck higher up on the chest and less mobile than the other implant. While the exact cause is not always clear, contributing factors may include infection, trauma, or implant rupture.

What Are the Symptoms of Capsular Contracture?

Symptoms often include tightness in the breast, changes in breast shape or symmetry, hardening of the breast tissue, and pain or tenderness. If you experience these signs, come see our plastic surgeons for an early evaluation, which is essential for effective capsular contracture treatment in Jacksonville.

How Is Capsular Contracture Treated at Coastal Cosmetic Center?

At Coastal Cosmetic Center, our personalized treatment options include both non-surgical and surgical approaches:

Non-Surgical Treatments

For some patients, non-surgical treatment options may include specific prescription medications to reduce scar tissue and soften the capsule.

Surgical Treatments

For more severe cases, surgical solutions such as partial or total capsulectomy (removal of the scar tissue capsule), capsulotomy (releasing the capsule to reduce tightness), breast implant removal, or breast implant replacement can be performed to address the issue effectively. Our surgeons use advanced surgical techniques and recovery protocols to ensure optimal results with minimal downtime.
