Causes and Method of Relief
Breast Surgery
-
- Capsular Contraction
- Capsular contraction is classified as 4 stages, and 3~4th stage of capsular contraction needs a revision surgery. In this case, position of prosthesis is changed and removal of the film or prosthesis replacement is made.
-
Stages of Capsular Contraction
Natural and does not feel prosthesis
No external problems but prosthesis can be felt
Prosthesis can be felt, breast starts to harden, and prosthesis starts to be visible externally.
Hardened breast, prosthesis starts to deform, and pain.
-
- Ruptured Prosthesis
-
If the prosthesis consists of
saline solution damage,
leakage, and rupture may
occur. In this case,
replacement is made to a
new prosthesis after
getting rid of the existing
prosthesis and leaked silicone.
-
- Asymmetrical Breasts
-
Asymmetrical breasts that
are caused by wrong
design, exfoliation, and
insertion during surgery
will undergo prosthesis
replacement after making
enough room.
-
- Not Satisfied with the Size or Shape
-
When size and shape after
surgery is unsatisfactory,
existing prosthesis is
removed and exchanged
to a new prosthesis with
desired size for a
satisfactory shape and size.
-
- Rippling Effect
(Prosthesis can be felt) -
When prosthesis is bigger
than patient’s chest or
exfoliation is not made
properly, rippling may
occur. If it is not apparent,
or does not cause
discomfort, revision surgery
is unnecessary. However in
severe cases prosthesis
replacement surgery is
made to fix.
- Rippling Effect
