While rare, a silicone rupture can indeed contribute to the development of capsular contracture. Capsular contracture occurs when scar tissue forms around a breast implant, resulting in a hardened and sometimes distorted appearance. A rupture can cause inflammation and irritation, triggering the body to produce more scar tissue, potentially leading to contracture. However, it’s important to note that advancements in implant technology have significantly reduced the risk of rupture and subsequent complications. Rest assured, by choosing a reputable surgeon and following proper post-operative care, you can minimize the likelihood of silicone ruptures and their associated complications. Should you have any further questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to discuss them during your consultation. Your safety and satisfaction are my top priorities.
