When an implant is placed in the body, it is normal for the body to see it as foreign and create a capsule around it, like a barrier keeping it separate from other parts of the body. This capsule is usually so thin that it’s unnoticeable; however, capsular contracture is when the body creates a thick rim of scar tissue around the implant instead. This can make the implant feel firmer than it should and, in severe cases, pulls the implant upward and outward.
