Capsular contraction, what is it ?
After placement of an implant, your body will form a barrier around the implant called a capsule. This natural tissue is your bodies normal response to breast augmentation. If the capsule stays soft and pliable, your breast implants will feel soft to touch. If the capsule tightens a little, your breast implants may feel a little firmer to you, while still maintaining a good shape. Severe tightening of the capsule, is most often associated with the term “capsular contraction” and can lead to distortion of breast shape and hardness to touch.
