What is capsular contracture?

If you are experiencing discomfort, firmness, tightness or change in the softness or the shape or position of your breasts, you may be developing encapsulation also known as capsular contracture. (The truth is, any foreign substance, including breast implants, initiates a natural protective response in the body, prompting the formation of a protective membrane around the implants). It is normal, natural and expected for your body to develop a thin, filmy scar, lining the pocket where your implant is placed. It is not usual for the scar lining to thicken and contract or constrict, which can result in firming, tightening and hardening of the breast, resulting in capsular contracture.
