ALCL is a cancer of the lymphatic system and can develop in various parts of the body. Rarely, it may develop in the breast.

If the patient has not developed a capsular contracture within two to three years, she might not develop this complication for many years, unless a silicone implant was used.

A breast implant can obscure the view of the breast tissue in a mammogram, theoretically increasing the death rate from breast cancer due to late detection of cancer.

One of the most common preventable aesthetic complications in performing a breast lift is widening of the areola.

There are essentially three physical characteristics that I look for to determine if there is a capsular contracture.

There’s a specialized fibroblast that has been identified in the capsules of patients with capsular contracture. As it progresses, the breast starts to feel firmer.

During a breast augmentation, an incision is made to insert the implant. Having incisions is inevitable because the said intervention is considered as a major operation.
