Capsular Contracture Treatment Options at Allure Medspa

1) Non-Surgical (Early/Low-Grade, Select Cases)

Anti-inflammatory medications and supportive care
Targeted ultrasound massage/physiotherapy
Leukotriene inhibitors in selected Grade I–II cases (surgeon-directed)

2) Surgical (Moderate to Severe / Recurrent)

Total capsulectomy: complete removal of capsule, often with implant exchange
Capsulotomy: releasing the tight capsule to soften the breast
Pocket change: switching from subglandular ↔ submuscular or dual-plane to reduce recurrence risk
Internal bra support: mesh or suture-based support in select revision cases

Your plan is personalised after clinical exam and imaging (ultrasound/MRI), factoring in implant age, position, size, and tissue quality.
