The aftermath of a breast augmentation process should be one that feels comfortable and refreshed. An escalation should not by any chance feel hard, knotty and neither should it feel like it has been shifted from its place. But, sadly there are many times when a scar tissue takes place near the pocket, or seal, which has the breast implant all held up. In case this happens, the embed can be hard, which is known as capsular contracture.
Capsular Contracture can be divided into the following:
1. The breast seems to be very soft and looks to be normal, the capsule is also flexible.
2. Breast might look normal, but is hard when touched.
3. The breast is hard, has some curve or the implant may be tilted.
4. The breast is all the more hard.
The surgery depends upon the condition of your pain and discomfort. For patients having # 1and # 2 issues, breast massage might help. This means gently moving the implants around breasts in a circular manner. This can help the capsule in getting bigger, thus giving more space to implant.
For patients suffering from # 3 and #4, breast augmentation surgery is the only solution. In the capsulotomy process, scar tissue is taken out, which leave more space for the capsule. Capsulectomy requires taking out the whole capsule along with implants.
Is Massaging Right or Wrong?
The insusceptible system in our body, post breast augmentation surgery reacts to foreign material present in the chest. The body is then constructed a “capsule” near both breast implants. The capsule is construed out of interlinked collagen fibers.Many times the so-called capsule becomes very stretched over time.
While this occurs, the collagen ‘fabric’ near the implant reduces in size because of accumulation in fibers. The tightening further pinch the implant, which makes it feel hard and also creates a ‘do not touch’ situation.
To prevent this from occurring, your surgeon is very likely to advise you to do a massage of the breasts, especially during the first few months after surgery.
Massage helps a great deal in preventing the capsule from getting hard.
Conclusion
Hence we saw that people are going after doing Mammaplasty, or augmentation surgery, in order to have a bigger size of breasts or change the shape or the texture of the same. The surgery suits someone while too many others it causes a disaster.
