What is Capsular Contracture?

After your Breast Implant Revision in Philadelphia, it is normal for scar tissue to form around your breast implants. However, in a certain number of patients this tissue hardens and constricts around the implant. This can occur years after the original procedure. Cosmetic surgeons have developed several techniques to remedy this situation. The traditional technique simply removes the scar tissue and replaces the implant. If you think you are experiencing capsular contracture, contact our office to discuss a solution.

Can Breast Implants Be Removed?

Breast implant removal is relatively simple. The Breast Implant Revision in Philadelphia, PA may take as little as one hour and the same incisions are typically used to access the implant.
