À propos de ce contenu audio
 Months or years after surgery, one side can suddenly feel firmer than the other, and most women assume they did something wrong.Dr. James Koehler and Dr. Vincent Gardner walk through what a mild case actually feels like, how it's graded on the Baker scale, and why some cases never get noticed until something changes years later.The leading theory is a "slime layer" of bacteria that settles on the implant and triggers chronic inflammation, which is part of why implants are more often placed under the muscle today.Treatment carries its own risk of recurrence, so Dr. Koehler explains how an acellular dermal matrix like Strattice dramatically improves the odds of it not coming back — plus what rupture, rippling and bottoming out look like, and why the "replace your implants every 10 years" rule isn't quite true.Read more about capsular contracture treatment: easternshoreplasticsurgery.com/breast/breast-implant-revision/capsular-contracture-revision
