Relieve Tightness Around Implants

Capsular contracture treatment addresses a complication that can develop after breast augmentation, where the scar tissue capsule naturally formed around the implant becomes excessively thick, tight, or hardened. As this capsule contracts, it can compress the implant, causing firmness, discomfort, distortion, asymmetry, or an unnaturally elevated appearance.

During capsular contracture treatment in Dallas, Dr. Mohan carefully evaluates the implant pocket, surrounding breast tissue, scar capsule, and implant position to restore a softer, more balanced contour. Treatment may involve removing scar tissue, replacing implants, or reconstructing the internal breast pocket for more refined, natural-feeling results.

Your Complete Capsular Contracture Treatment Experience

Consultation

During your consultation for capsular contracture treatment in Dallas, Dr. Mohan will carefully evaluate your breast implants, skin quality, scar tissue capsule, implant position, and breast symmetry. He will examine how the implants sit within the breast pocket and assess for firmness, distortion, upward displacement, rippling, or signs of discomfort. Your previous surgical history, implant type, incision, and symptoms will also be thoroughly reviewed. Dr. Mohan will then discuss the underlying cause of your capsular contracture and explain your treatment options. Depending on your anatomy and goals, your surgical plan may include capsulectomy, implant replacement, implant removal, pocket revision, or soft tissue support techniques to restore a softer, more natural contour.

Procedure

Dr. Mohan typically begins by reopening the previous incision to access the implant pocket and the surrounding scar capsule. The hardened capsule of scar tissue around the implant is then removed or released through a procedure called capsulectomy or capsulotomy. Depending on your surgical plan, the implant may be replaced, repositioned, or removed entirely. Dr. Mohan may also reconstruct the internal breast pocket to improve implant positioning, symmetry, and softness. In some cases, supportive internal mesh or soft tissue reinforcement techniques are used to stabilize the implant and reduce future complications. Every step is performed with anatomical precision to restore a more natural feel and refined contour.

Recovery

After capsular contracture treatment in Dallas, you can expect swelling, tightness, soreness, and temporary pressure across the chest as the breast tissue and implant pocket heal. Most patients return to light activities within 1 to 2 weeks, although strenuous exercise, upper-body workouts, and heavy lifting should be avoided for approximately 4 to 6 weeks. Surgical drains may be placed for a short period, depending on the extent of scar capsule removal. Dr. Mohan will provide detailed aftercare instructions to support proper healing. You may be asked to wear a surgical support bra, sleep elevated, avoid excessive chest movement, and attend follow-up visits so Dr. Mohan can monitor your recovery and aesthetic results.

Results

After capsular contracture treatment in Dallas, you will typically notice improvements in breast softness, comfort, symmetry, and implant positioning as early swelling resolves. While some changes are visible immediately, your breasts will continue settling into a more natural shape and feel over several weeks to months as the internal tissues heal and relax. The results are long-lasting, particularly when the underlying cause of the contracture is carefully addressed during surgery. Dr. Mohan uses meticulous surgical planning and advanced pocket management techniques to reduce the risk of recurrence and achieve refined, balanced outcomes. Maintaining stable health and attending follow-ups can help preserve your results.
