Overview

While breast implants are a valid, trusted choice for many women, over time, some develop complications related to the implants. These often show up as painful scar tissue hardening around the implant, a condition called capsular contracture, or a range of unexplained systemic symptoms increasingly known as Breast Implant Illness (BII).

The Plastic Surgery Center offers comprehensive treatment for both capsular contracture and BII, from complete implant removal and capsulectomy to permanent, implant-free restoration using your own tissue, with specialists equipped to treat implant complications at the highest level of care.

Common Breast Implant Complications

Capsular Contracture

When the scar tissue that naturally forms around a breast implant becomes abnormally thick, hard, and tight, it causes the breast to feel firm or painful, look distorted, or shift out of position, a condition known as capsular contracture. It tends to worsen over time and often recurs after standard revision surgery, because replacing the implant doesn't remove the original cause.

You may be experiencing capsular contracture if:

  • One or both breasts feel unusually hard, tight, or painful
  • Your implant has changed position or looks distorted or misshapen
  • You have been through one or more revision surgeries and the problem has returned
  • You've been told you have Baker Grade III or IV contracture

Breast Implant Illness (BII)

Breast Implant Illness describes a collection of systemic symptoms that some women experience while breast implants are in place, including fatigue, brain fog, joint pain, skin changes, hair thinning, and more. Because BII is not yet a formally classified diagnosis, many patients spend years seeking answers without finding them. If your symptoms began or worsened after implant placement and have no other explanation, a consultation with a specialist is the right next step. You may be experiencing BII if:

  • You have chronic fatigue, brain fog, or joint pain you cannot fully explain
  • You've developed skin rashes, hair thinning, or hormonal changes since your augmentation
  • You've seen multiple physicians without a clear diagnosis
  • Your symptoms improve when you're away from stress but consistently return

What to Expect

Your care begins with a thorough consultation. Your surgeon will review your implant and health history, discuss your symptoms in detail, and may order imaging, including an MRI to assess implant integrity and capsule condition, or lab work to support the evaluation. You will leave with a clear understanding of what is happening and your options.

Treatment is tailored to your specific situation and may include one or more of the following:

Capsulectomy (Total or En Bloc): Complete removal of the implant and surrounding scar tissue capsule. For capsular contracture patients, this addresses the underlying cause rather than simply managing it with another revision. For BII patients, clearing all implant materials removes potential sources of ongoing immune activation.

Explant Without Reconstruction: Some women choose to have their implants removed without replacing them. A breast lift may be performed at the same time to address skin laxity and improve contour.

All Me Augmentation™: For women who want to restore breast volume after explant without returning to any implant, All Me Augmentation™ provides a permanent, natural-tissue solution. Using advanced DIEP flap microsurgery, the breast is rebuilt with the patient's own living abdominal tissue, delivering soft, permanent results with no implant, no maintenance, and no future device-related concerns.

Recovery &
Results

Recovery varies based on which procedure or combination of procedures is performed.

For capsulectomy or explant alone, most patients return to light activity within 1 to 2 weeks, with full recovery in 3 to 4 weeks. For patients who also undergo All Me Augmentation™, recovery typically extends to 6 to 8 weeks, reflecting the more comprehensive nature of the procedure. Swelling and discomfort are normal in the early weeks and resolve gradually with proper care and your surgeon's guidance.

Results are meaningful and lasting. Capsular contracture patients are freed from the cycle of revision surgery. BII patients frequently report significant symptom improvement. Women who choose All Me Augmentation™ experience permanent, natural-looking breast restoration with no implant to replace or maintain.
