Capsular contracture treatment is offered by the best in class NYC plastic surgeon at Body Sculpting Center of NYC (Manhattan, NY), Breast augmentation is one of the most common cosmetic plastic surgery procedures performed worldwide and is associated with significant patient satisfaction and low complications rates. However, the main long term complication of breast augmentation surgery is “capsular contracture”.
Breast implants are usually made of silicone (a foreign material). The body’s response to having a foreign material placed in the body is to wall the breast implants off in a layer of specialized scar tissue. This is known as a “capsule”. All women with breast implants develop a capsule to a certain degree. Only if the capsule becomes thickened and problematic do we call this a “capsular contracture” or encapsulation.
If you are unsure if you have a capsular contracture the board certified plastic surgeon. Dr. Matthew Delmauro can quickly diagnosis for you.

Capsular contracture is normally treated with surgery by the NYC plastic surgeon. Primarily, this plastic surgery involves exchanging your breast implants and removal of the capsular contracture. It may also require changing the location of the breast implant, for example, from on top of the muscle (sub-glandular) to below the muscle (sub-pectoral).
If you are diagnosed with a capsular contracture occurs, the plastic surgeon can perform a surgical procedure known as a “capsulectomy” that will remove the affected breast implant and its casing and restore a more pleasing, natural shape to the breast with a breast implant exchange / explant surgery.
The procedure is performed under a general anesthetic, with an incision that is made in the most optimal place, either through your previous incision or in a position that minimal scars will be well hidden.

- Breast firmness: Breasts feel hard or tight, or feel like a ball
- Breast shape: Breasts appear distorted, rounded, or misshapen
- Breast position: Breasts appear to sit higher on the chest
- Pain: Discomfort or pain, especially when lying on the breasts
- Asymmetry: One breast may be firmer, higher, or shaped differently than the other
- Rippling: Wrinkles may be visible on the surface of the breast
