What is capsular contracture and how do you prevent it

Capsular contracture occurs when the natural scar capsule around an implant becomes unusually tight, which can make the breast feel firm or look distorted. Risk can be reduced through meticulous sterile technique, proper implant handling, careful pocket dissection, and appropriate follow-up. However, it cannot be prevented completely, and some patients may still develop it over time. Postoperative care protocols depend on your implant type and surgical method.
