Capsular contracture is a known breast implant complication, and at Murray Hill Plastic Surgery, care with Dr. M. Zakir Sabry is designed to help women address this concern and restore soft, natural-looking breasts while prioritizing safety and aesthetic results.
After breast augmentation or reconstruction, your body naturally forms a thin layer of scar tissue (a capsule) around the implant. Capsular contracture occurs when the capsule tightens and becomes abnormally firm, leading to breast hardness, shape distortion, or discomfort.
