  5. What Is Capsular Contracture Treated? • Surgery to remove or separate the hard, fibrous tissue. • Breaking up the fibrous tissue, without surgery, can sometimes improve this condition. • Prescription medications, such as Accolate, a medication used in allergy treatment that has been found to be helpful in capsular contracture. • Ultrasound that helps to soften the capsule with soundwaves. • Vitamin E and steroid injections.

  6. What You Can Do To Reduce Your Risk • Avoid the development of encapsulation around the implant. • Evidence indicates the sub-muscular placement of the implant, instead of sub-glandular placement. • Choosing the right size implant can help to avoid this condition. • Getting sufficient rest after implant surgery can help to reduce the risk of contracture. • Ensure that your surgeon is a board-certified breast augmentation specialist. • Don’t smoke. Your physician will advise you to stop smoking before your surgery.
