Breast Implant Safety and Capsular Contracture

An ICRS case report addresses recurrent bilateral capsular contracture. It describes removal of the capsule and use of an acellular dermal matrix in one patient, followed by continued observation.

A single older case does not establish the right treatment for another patient. The article itself notes that recurrence can be difficult to treat and that longer follow-up and additional evaluation are needed.

Current consultation should review implant type and age, symptoms, examination or imaging needs, prior operations, infection or inflammation concerns, the full range of revision or removal options, and all current implant safety information before deciding on treatment.

For personalized guidance, the next step is a consultation with the practice. The team can review your goals, timing, relevant history, and realistic options directly with you.
