WHAT IS CAPSULAR CONTRACTURE?
Posted: April 17, 2012
Capsular contracture, commonly referred to as CC is the condition where the scar tissue that forms around breast implants in all cases, normally thin and soft, becomes thick and firm. The incidence of having some form of this is probably close to 15% but accurate statistics are hard to come by. This can become so severe that the breast becomes misshapen, distorted and even painful in some cases.
