Can breast capsulectomy surgery be prevented?

This is always a risk but there are certain things you can do to reduce the risk. These are:

• Post-surgery massage. It is a good idea to massage the breasts but it is only recommended for those women who have had smooth implants. See the ‘breast implant’ section ( ) on the different types of implants.
• Wear a compression bra. This works well especially if combined with compression exercises.
• Take Vitamin E (orally). This vitamin improves the skin and so may do the same with scar tissue.
• Choose textured implants which prevent hard capsules from forming.
• Take a specific nutritional supplement but check with your surgeon first.

Take antibiotics before dental surgery to reduce the risk of infections.
