Capsular contracture is a very specific condition whereby when you have an implant, your body creates a capsule around it because it is a foreign object.
Every foreign object in your body will have a capsule around it. And these capsules, over time, can have problems. Not that it will, but it can.
One of the problems you may have is that the capsule will start to shrink and because of that the implant will start to feel a bit harder, it may become misshapen.
And then the patients may start to feel pain. So they can feel the implant hardening, they can change shape, they can shift a bit. And of course, it can be painful.
