Imagine living with the constant pain and discomfort of capsular contracture. Many people believe that surgery is the only option, but what if there was a less invasive, more comfortable way to treat this condition?

At Return to Play Institute, we’ve helped countless patients find relief from capsular contracture without surgery. Our non-surgical treatments combine advanced techniques and personalized care to promote healing and minimize complications.

Capsular contracture occurs when scar tissue forms around the implant. Although this capsule is usually harmless, it can thicken and harden, leading to tightness and discomfort. Biofilm formation on breast implants likely contributes to this complication. Surgeons can reduce the risk by using delivery devices like Brekka or Keller Funnels and providing proper post-operative care.

At Return to Play Institute (RTPI), we prioritize post-surgical care to minimize the risk of capsular contracture. Our program supports your recovery and promotes healthy healing. Contact us today to learn more about our services!

Frequently Asked Questions

  • How Common Is Capsular Contracture After Breast Augmentation?

Capsular contracture is quite common after breast augmentation. The American Society of Plastic Surgeons tells us that one of six patients will have some degree of capsular contracture after breast augmentation surgery. Advanced surgical techniques and proper post-surgical care can help lower the risk.

  • How Soon Does Capsular Contracture Develop?

Capsular contracture develops as soon as four to six weeks post-op as the scar tissue is healing around the implant. However, we have seen patients who have developed contracture a year or two post-op. Advanced post-surgical care and regular home care of the tissue can help lower or even prevent the development of contracture.

  • What Are Non-surgical Treatments for Capsular Contracture?

Non-surgical treatments for capsular contracture include manual lymphatic drainage, scar tissue management, and adjunct therapies like vitamin E or Singulair. These methods improve blood flow, reduce scar tissue formation, and promote healing.

  • When Should I Start Treatment for Capsular Contracture?

Begin treatment for capsular contracture promptly at the first signs of tightness or hardening around the implant. Starting post-operative care a few days after surgery can help prevent contracture development.

  • What Is Manual Lymphatic Drainage, and How Does It Help?

Manual lymphatic drainage (MLD) is a gentle tissue manipulation technique that promotes fluid movement and reduces swelling. It helps alleviate inflammation and prevents excessive scar tissue around the implant.

  • How Can I Prevent Capsular Contracture From Happening Again?

Prevent capsular contracture from happening again by following your surgeon’s post-surgical instructions and attending scheduled follow-ups. Maintaining healthy habits and regular check-ups can also reduce risk.
