Capsular contracture is a complication that can occur after breast augmentation surgery, where scar tissue forms around the breast implant, tightening and squeezing it. Symptoms include breast firmness, pain, and distortion. The likelihood of capsular contracture varies among individuals. While advances in surgical techniques and implant materials have reduced the risk, it’s essential to discuss potential complications with a qualified plastic surgeon to understand your personal risk factors and make informed decisions about breast augmentation.
