Capsular Contracture
This is one of the most problematic complications
associated with breast augmentation. Scar
tissue develops around the implant inside the
body. Discomfort, pain, and tenderness can all
result, as well as an issue with appearance an
affected breast will appear too round or pushed
up.

Lower the risks
It is known that if you put the implant under the
muscle and perhaps if you use a textured implant,
the risk of capsular contracture can be lower.
Bleeding can be a trigger for capsular
contracture, therefore minimizing it can reduce
the risk.
The instruments and techniques applied during
surgery can also help lower the risk.

Instruments Fiber-optic breast retractor
A light source is attached on one end and the
light travels through the instrument, coming out
at the bottom The retractor part of the
instrument allows the surgeon to insert it into a
very small incision, lift up and look inside the
breast to see exactly what he is doing.
5
Instruments Unipolar electrocautery forceps
This is a foot activated device that can be
turned on and off during the surgery.The device
sends electricity down to the tips, the rest of
it is isolated. Using it, the surgeon can do
the whole pocket dissection.

• Advantages
• it is bloodless and atraumatic
• if a blood vessel is ruptured, bleeding is
  stopped by cauterizing it.

6
What not to do
Blunt Dissection - make an incision- find the
muscle- get your finger under there or put in
some big instrument and break everything inside.
Thats very traumatic and it causes a lot of
bleeding.

Post-op instructions

• After the surgery you have to
• restrict your activity levels because you can do
  something that could cause bleeding which might
  lead to capsular contracture
• avoid the gym or other vigorous physical
  activities for 3 weeks
• avoid lifting anything heavy for 6 weeks.

Bloodless VS Traditional Breast Augmentation
Theres nothing necessarily wrong with
traditional breast augmentationtechniques but
the bloodless breast augmentation is safer. In
traditional breast augmentation the surgeon will
make the incision, find the muscle, will get
underneath that muscle, get the finger or a big
instrument in there and open up the pocket. This
way a lot of bleeding and trauma are caused and
those factors could lead to capsular
contracture. Bloodless breast augmentation is
used specifically to try to minimize one of the
biggest complications with breast augmentation
capsular contracture.
