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.
