Getting any form of surgery is not without its risks.

Breast surgery is no different. 

When receiving breast augmentation surgery you might have heard of a potential risk for capsular contracture to occur.

Capsular contracture is particularly noticeable when it comes to breast implants which is why it can be such an issue for patients.

As well as affecting the aesthetics of your breasts, capsular contracture can lead to a rupture of gel implants which could then lead to an infection. 

In this article, we’ll take a look at what it is, who’s at risk and the treatment options available should you experience it.

What is capsular contracture?

When foreign objects enter your body, its natural response is to surround it in a natural barrier of scar tissue, this is capsular contracture. 

Breast implants are seen as foreign objects by the body so they will naturally cover them in such a barrier, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing. It’s the body’s natural response after all. 

This barrier is usually soft but firm and can keep the implant in place and prevent slippages. Where things start to get complicated is when the scar tissue that forms gets unusually hard.

If this happens then complications can occur.

The breast implants can get contracted by the hard scar tissue leading to aesthetic issues, implant ruptures and even pain in the breasts.

Everyone has their own unique soft tissue composition, which means that the healing process for each patient can differ.

Which is why it is difficult to predict who will suffer more with capsular contracture.

Some patients might develop deep scar tissue after skin penetration, while others may develop subtle scarring that can fade over time. 

You can see a great example of this when a woman is pregnant. 

Some women develop minimal to no scarring due to stretch marks, while others develop deep scarring. 

Capsular contracture is also linked to the immune system which again differs from person to person. Some patients will have a bad immune reaction to their implants while others won’t. 

This is why it is advised that patients who have an autoimmune disease or who have an immunity issue should not go under the knife and opt for less invasive procedures. 

The severity of capsular contracture using a grading system

As discussed each patient can react differently when it comes to capsular contracture. This is why medical experts will use a grading system to measure the severity.

It’s important to know the severity so patients can receive the right course of action.

The grades for capsular contracture are graded using the Baker classification system and are as follows:

• Baker l – This would be classed as a ‘normal’ case of capsular contracture. The patient will develop scar tissue around the implant but it will not cause any complication nor interfere with it. The breasts will look natural as they are supposed to.  

• Baker ll – At this grade, there will be minor cosmetic interference caused by capsular contracture. The breasts may look mostly natural and they will also be slightly firm. 

• Baker lll – Now there should be a noticeable difference in the firmness of the breasts. The breasts may also have some visual distortion making them look less natural than they should. The breasts may even have misshapen nipples. Although the cosmetic elements may look out of order, there should be little to no pain at this grade. 

• Baker lV – Baker lV will have all the attributes of Baker lll with the main difference being breast soreness. Along with misshapen and unnatural-looking breasts, they will feel tender and sore to touch. 

How common is capsular contracture?

Capsular contracture is a natural response from the body so there is always a chance that it could happen, although, the more severe cases are less common.

One study conducted in 2015 found that capsular contracture had an overall incidence of 10.6%.

Also, according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, around 75% of all capsular contracture occurs within the first 2 years of the patient’s implants being placed.

However, capsular contracture can develop many years after surgery, although this is only in rare cases. 

What are the causes of capsular contracture?

The cause of capsular contracture can vary from patient to patient. Capsular contracture can occur not just for breast implants but any kind of medical implants.

Here are the most common causes of capsular contracture:

Genetics

As discussed, each person will have their own soft tissue composition. This composition will be part of your overall genetic makeup which is passed down from your parents.

Genetics can play a huge role in how your body responds to implants.

For example, if you have family members that have a history of autoimmune diseases then undergoing breast implant surgery may not be for you.

This is because your immune system has a role to play when it comes to placing foreign objects in the body, which allows capsular contracture to take place.

The same can also be said for any family member who has a history of developing thick scar tissue after cuts to the skin. 

Blood

When surgery is performed there is a risk for hematomas and seromas to occur.

• Hematoma – This is when blood gathers on the outside of the blood vessels and becomes solid.

• Seromas – When fluids swell in the place of a surgical incision of tissue removal.

This rich supply of blood which can build up near the breast implant area can be a rich supply of nutrients to bacteria that may also be there. Which can lead to a possible infection.  

Bacteria

Undergoing any type of surgery leaves you open to risks of infection. This means bad bacteria could enter the breast cavity when the implants are being inserted.

This bacteria can attach itself to the implant material and create a Biofilm. 

A Biofilm is a complex and organised community of microorganisms (such as bacteria, fungi, and sometimes algae) that adhere to surfaces and grow together within a slimy, extracellular matrix. 

Biofilms can form on a wide range of surfaces, including natural environments like rocks and rivers, as well as man-made structures such as pipes, medical devices, and breast implants. 

They can also develop on living tissues, causing infections in humans and animals.

The body will produce more fibrous scar tissue as a way to fight this infection caused by the Biofilm, leading to capsular contracture.

A recent study conducted on pigs implanted with medical-grade silicone implants provided support for the biofilm theory regarding capsular contracture. 

This research demonstrated an increase in the likelihood of capsular contracture in pigs that had staph bacteria on their skin at the time of implant placement. 

It’s important to emphasise that the presence of staph contamination during breast augmentation surgery does not necessarily indicate an unclean working environment. 

Some individuals naturally carry staph bacteria on their skin without experiencing any symptoms. 

It’s only when these individuals undergo procedures that breach the skin that the bacteria have an opportunity to cause issues. 

While maintaining a sterile working environment can certainly reduce the risk of staph contamination, it’s not always feasible to completely eliminate all the bacteria present.

What are the signs of capsular contracture?

Capsular contracture shows various signs and symptoms, and these can vary in severity. The severity of capsular contracture is often classified using the Baker Grading System, as previously mentioned. 

Here are common signs and symptoms associated with capsular contracture:

1. Breast Firmness – One of the hallmark signs of capsular contracture is increased breast firmness. The affected breast may feel noticeably harder compared to the other breast or how it felt initially after surgery.

2. Breast Discomfort or Pain – Some individuals with capsular contracture experience discomfort or even pain in the affected breast. This discomfort can range from mild to more severe.

3. Breast Shape Changes – Capsular contracture can lead to changes in breast shape or appearance. This may include breast distortion, asymmetry, or a noticeable difference in the position or contour of the breast compared to the other side.

4. Breast Implant Palpability – In more severe cases of capsular contracture, the breast implant may become palpable or easily felt through the skin, which is not typical in normal breast augmentation outcomes.

5. Breast Skin Changes – The skin overlying the affected breast may appear stretched, tight, or dimpled due to the increased firmness and distortion caused by the thickened capsule.

6. Breast Sensation Changes – Some individuals may notice changes in breast sensation, such as increased sensitivity or numbness, although these changes are less common.

7. Breast Size Changes – Capsular contracture can sometimes result in changes in breast size due to the compression of the implant within the constricted capsule.

8. Pain or Discomfort with Implant Movement – Movements of the affected breast or physical activities that compress the breast may cause discomfort or pain.

It’s important to recognise that not all individuals with capsular contracture will experience all of these signs and symptoms, and the severity can vary. 

What is involved in the treatment of capsular contracture?

Treating capsular contracture can be categorised into 2 sections. Non-surgical treatments and surgical treatments.

Non-Surgical treatments 

• Ultrasound – Ultrasound treatments can be used to soften the scar tissue in some cases. This particular study shows a series of 52 patients who were treated solely with ultrasonic applications for capsular contracture, and 82.6% presented improvement at the 1-year follow-up. 

• Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) – Anti-inflammatory medications and medications have been used to treat capsular contracture. This particular study showed 68% of patients with capsular contracture showed improvements when given the NSAID known as diclofenac epolamine. Another study showed that anti-inflammatory medications and medications like leukotriene inhibitors (e.g. Zafirlukast) have been used to manage capsular contracture. However, their effectiveness can vary, and they are often considered for less severe cases. 

• Breast Massage – Some surgeons recommend gentle breast massage techniques to help soften the scar tissue and potentially prevent further capsular contracture. This is typically more effective in the early stages.

Surgical treatments

• Capsulotomy – This surgical procedure involves making incisions in the thickened capsule to release the constriction. Capsulotomy can provide relief by loosening the capsule and allowing the implant to settle more naturally. However, it does not remove the capsule entirely. 

• Capsulectomy – Capsulectomy is a more extensive surgical procedure in which the entire scar tissue capsule is removed. This is often necessary in cases of severe capsular contracture or when the contracture keeps recurring.

• Implant Replacement – In many cases, the surgeon may replace the breast implant during a capsulectomy procedure. This helps reduce the risk of capsular contracture recurrence. 

• Implant Removal – In more rare cases the surgeon may have to completely remove the implant altogether if previous treatments have not been successful.  

How to prevent capsular contracture?

Patients unfortunately cannot be protected from capsular contracture in every instance but there are measures that can be used to minimise the risk of it.

These include:

Patient screening

If patients are pre-screened appropriately before they go under the knife then any potential complications can be detected. An example is if the patient is a smoker. 

Smoking can cause the formation of hematomas in patients which is directly linked to a higher chance of capsular contracture.

Choose a skilled surgeon

Undergoing any surgical procedure has its risks, therefore you want a surgeon with a stellar record and an abundance of experience to carry out procedures such as breast augmentations. 

Something we at New Birkdale Clinic can assist you with thanks to our world-class medical staff. 

Appropriate implant size 

Placing an implant into a patient that is significantly bigger than their previous breast size will mean they have less natural breast tissue to cover them. 

If this happens it can lead to capsular contracture. 

Therefore it’s better to place an appropriate sized implant in. 

And if the patient wants bigger breasts then they can build up to that size in stages.  

Minimise bleeding 

If the surgeon can minimise bleeding during surgery then there is less chance of hematoma occurring. 

Implants handled less 

Implants are foreign objects that are placed within the body and left in there for years at a time. These objects can therefore be susceptible to coming into contact with various external foreign bodies such as bacteria. 

The more an implant is handled, the more chance of harmful bacteria latching onto the implant. Minimising who handles the implant may help it remain sterile when entering the body. 

Textured gel implants

It has been shown that textured implants allow for capsular contracture to occur less frequently when compared with smooth-surfaced ones. 

In this particular study, 59% of patients with smooth-surfaced implants developed capsular contracture, compared with 11% for those who had textured ones. 

Implant type

The type of breast implant used can influence the risk of capsular contracture. Studies have shown that silicone implants increase the risk of capsular contracture. Whereas there is a lower risk associated with saline implants.

Submuscular implants 

Placing the breast implant underneath the muscle of the chest (submuscular implants) is proven to reduce the risk of capsular contracture. 

This particular study suggested that the incidence of contracture developing is lower with the use of submuscular placement implants.

Massage

Gently massaging your breasts during the healing process following breast augmentation surgery could potentially promote breast tissue flexibility and reduce the risk of capsular contracture. 

This particular study showed massage techniques may help reduce capsular contracture.

Dropping and fluffing is a common term used when someone receives breast enlargement surgery.

It is an important term to understand if you’re about to embark on this type of surgery.

With breast augmentation being the most popular cosmetic surgery for women to undergo in the UK it’s important that the drop and fluff process is explained.

In this post, we will provide you with a guide so you have a better awareness of what to expect after breast enlargement surgery. 

What is the Dropping and Fluffing Process?

If you have breast enlargement surgery then you will want to see the results as soon as possible. 

But the results immediately after surgery may leave you feeling underwhelmed.

That’s because your new breasts might not seem the natural shape they should be and they might sit quite high on your chest.

It’s important to remember that this is completely normal. 

There will be some soreness and swelling after receiving surgery which causes the implants to appear out of shape.

Once the swelling subsides your implants will start to drop and relax into a more natural position, giving you your desired shape. This is known as the drop and fluff process.

Does Dropping and Fluffing Hurt?

Initially, right after surgery, there will be swelling and tightness around the breast area. As you begin to heal the swelling will subside and your skin will become looser.

This is when the implants will start to drop and fluff into a more natural position.

What Does the Fluffing Stage Feel Like?

As your implants drop you will notice that your breasts will start to look more like their natural shape. 

The fluffing stage of the process will allow your implants to settle into a natural position in your breast which will leave it feeling looser compared to post-surgery. 

What is the Timeline for the Drop and Fluff Process?

The drop and fluff timeline can vary from patient to patient. Typically if a patient is quite young and has never had children then the drop and fluff process may take longer due to the elasticity of their skin.

Not only can the timeline vary for each patient but it can vary for each breast also. A patient may find that their breasts drop and fluff at different speeds, again this is completely normal. 

Below is a rough timeline of the stages your breast go through during the drop and fluff process:

• 1-3 Weeks – Breasts will feel tight and may sit quite high around your chest. You’ll also experience a lack of nipple sensitivity with breasts looking more square and unnatural.
• 4-5 Weeks – Your breasts should be starting to drop and fluff with swelling and soreness subsiding significantly. 
• 6+ Weeks – Breasts should be looking more natural with implants starting to settle into the lower part of the breast. 
• 1 Year and beyond – Implants should be fully settled into the breasts and look natural. 

Can You Speed Up the Drop and Fluff Process?

The drop and fluff process is a natural response from your body after receiving breast enlargement surgery.

As a result, there isn’t much that can be done to speed up the process but there are methods which can help patients during the process. 

These include:

• Avoiding strenuous exercise for 6-8 weeks.
• Attend aftercare appointments as per agreed with your surgeon.
• Wear a post-op bra day and night.
• Sleep in an upright position to help prop breasts and assist with the swelling and healing process.

What Happens If Your Implants Don’t Drop and Fluff?

As discussed, the drop and fluff process happens at different rates for individual patients. 

Factors such as age, pregnancy status, weight and type of implants can all play their role in the speed of this process.

If your implants have not dropped and fluffed in the space of 6-8 weeks then don’t panic. In most cases, implants should drop and fluff fully in 3-6 months.

This should leave you with natural-looking breasts that last for at least 10 years provided there are no complications.  

If you still haven’t gone through the drop and fluff process after 6 months and you’re getting concerned, then don’t hesitate to contact your surgeon or cosmetic clinic.

They can assess your situation and give the best course of action.

Having a breast reduction procedure done in the UK is very safe and there are a lot of choices in terms of clinics to choose.

A breast reduction is used to reduce the weight and volume of breasts. This is done by removing excess skin, fat and breast tissue. The nipple will also be repositioned to make the breasts smaller and more uplifted.

At New Birkdale Clinic we offer a selection of surgeries including breast reductions. We have a team of experts who perform thousands of these procedures a year and give them the best benefits from breast reduction surgery.

In this post we will discuss the prices of breast reductions in the UK and what factors contribute to these costs.

Let’s get into it.

Prices of a Breast Reduction in the UK

What is the average price of a breast reduction in the UK?

To receive a breast reduction in the UK it will cost somewhere in the region of £8000 depending on which clinic you attend.

At our clinic our breast reduction services start from £6995. You would need to book in a consultation with one of our specialists to tailor a plan to your specific needs.

What factors influence the price of a breast reduction?

These are the main factors which influence the price of a breast reduction.

Complexity of treatment 

When it comes to getting a breast reduction each procedure is different to the next. Some breasts will need more tissue removed than others.

This adds to the complexity of the procedure and the length of time the patient will be in theatre. The longer you’re under the knife the bigger the cost will be.

Location 

Breast reduction surgeries take place all over the world. Some countries can share a cheaper rate in comparison to the UK.

This does not mean the quality is any less but there should always be a level of due diligence carried out beforehand either way.

In countries such as Turkey the price of a breast reduction can be significantly lower. Patients need to be aware of extra costs such as travel and accommodation. Adding these up alongside your medical fees could end up higher then a UK procedure. 

Type of anaesthesia

Anaesthesia is an essential part of a breast reduction procedure, without it you simply cannot undergo any surgery.

Anaesthesia comes in two forms:

• Local Anesthesia – numbs one particular area, in this case the breasts.
• General Anesthesia – numbs the entire body and sends the patient into an unconscious state.

General anaesthesia will cost more than local anaesthesia so the price of your breast reduction surgery could vary depending on which option you choose.

Additional treatments

Some patients may require additional procedures when undergoing breast reduction surgery. For example if you opt for our breast reduction surgery and also need a mastopexy then this could cost from £8995.

If you were to receive these as two individual procedures then the total cost could be even higher. That is why it is usually more cost effective to receive multiple treatments at once. 

Receiving multiple surgeries in one package may also help with scarring and healing post-breast reduction surgery.

What’s included in a breast reduction procedure?

Our breast reduction procedure includes the following:

• Doctor fee.
• Surgery fee.
• Theatre fee.
• Aftercare (stitching, follow ups etc).
• Pain relief medication.

If you want bigger breasts then undergoing breast enlargement surgery could be the ideal option for you.

A breast enlargement procedure involves placing implants into your breasts. Implants are made of silicone and they are usually placed either directly under the breast tissue or under the chest muscle behind your breasts.

Breast enlargement surgery is quite a big operation so it can take a number of weeks to fully recover from it.

It is a very popular procedure among people who are not happy with the current size or shape of their breasts.

At our clinic we offer breast enlargement surgery. To learn more about the price of this particular procedure then please read on.

What is the average price of a breast enlargement in the UK?

A breast enlargement will cost around £5000 on average in the UK. This price may vary from clinic to clinic.

At New Birkdale Clinic, we offer very competitive pricing for breast enlargement surgeries with our pricing starting at just under £4000. To get started you would need to book in a consultation with one of our expert breast surgeons.

From there we can assess your unique situation and deliver a treatment and payment plan suited to your individual needs.

What factors influence the price of a breast enlargement?

Let’s have a look at what factors contribute to the overall pricing of breast enlargement surgeries.

Complexity of treatment 

No two breast enlargement surgeries are the same, therefore the price can vary depending on how complex a procedure will be.

The procedure itself can last around 60 minutes or it can last a few hours. More complex procedures will take more time.

Location 

Clinics around the country can charge differently for their services. Some clinics in London, for example, can charge a higher rate but it doesn’t always mean that the results are any better than other clinics.

Some patients will travel abroad to receive breast enlargement surgery. This is because in other countries the price of this treatment can be significantly lower. For example, in Turkey, a breast enlargement can cost around £2500. 

While this price is lower than most UK clinics, patients also need to factor in travel costs and accommodation. The full price you pay could end up significantly higher – not to mention the risks associated with receiving surgery abroad.

Type of anaesthesia

When going for breast enlargement surgery you will need to be under anaesthesia. Depending on if it is local or general anaesthesia this will also affect the price.

Additional treatments

You may also wish to receive additional breast treatments such as a breast lift when getting a breast enlargement.

If you choose additional treatments then these will increase the price of the overall procedure. However, it could prove more cost effective to have two or more procedures done at once as opposed to receiving them separately.

What’s included in a breast enlargement procedure?

Our breast enlargement procedure includes the following:

• Doctor fee
• Surgery fee
• Theatre fee
• Aftercare (stitching, follow ups etc)
• Pain relief medication

Affordable breast enlargement at New Birkdale Clinic

At New Birkdale Clinic we have successfully performed thousands of breast enlargement procedures. We understand how beneficial this procedure has been to our patients.

The price of breast enlargements in the UK can vary but at our clinic we can assure you will receive a top quality service for a very fair rate.

Contact us if you have any questions and we can help you out. Then we can get a consultation sorted for you as soon as possible where you will be able to talk over your goals and aspirations for your breast enlargement procedure.

If you’re unhappy with the shape of your breasts, then you may want to consider undergoing a breast lift procedure.

The breast lift procedure is also known as Mastopexy and differs from a breast enlargement procedure or reduction procedure.

A breast lift involves removing excess skin around the breasts so that they can be reshaped, allowing them to be raised. As we get older, our skin begins to lose elastin, so it is only natural that our breasts begin to sag with time. Though this is entirely natural, it can still impact our self-esteem, so it makes perfect sense as to why so many women are turning to the breast lift procedure.

At New Birkdale Clinic, we offer breast lifts performed by experienced surgeons. In this blog, we will cover the breast lift price in the UK so that you have a better idea of what to expect when undergoing the surgery.

Not quite sure if a breast lift is the procedure that you are looking for? It can be easy to mistake a breast lift for a breast augmentation, so take a look at these breast lift before and after pictures to see if a mastopexy is what you’re really looking for.

What is the Average Price of a Breast Lift in the UK?

In the UK, the price of a breast lift can range from around £2500 to £8000. The clinic where you get your breast lift will be a significant determining factor in this price, as each clinic may price their procedure based on the experience of their surgeons and the general economic standing of their area.  

We offer very competitive pricing for breast lift surgeries at New Birkdale Clinic, from breast reduction all the way to breast augmentation, we offer fair pricing. Interested in achieving your dream breast shape with us? Take your first step and book a consultation with one of our expert breast surgeons. 

What Factors Influence the Price of a Breast Lift?

As discussed, breast lifts can range in price. This is determined by a number of factors, including:

Complexity of Treatment 

Every patient is unique, and therefore, every procedure is unique. Some procedures can be more complex than others, which is a huge factor in terms of pricing. Not every set of breasts is the same, so that means that the length of the procedure may differ.

For example, larger breasts may require more time as there is more removed in the process, while smaller breasts may require less time under the knife. The same logic can be applied when someone wants to undergo a tummy tuck. For someone who has a bigger stomach, the surgery tends to be more complex, while those with less skin and a smaller stomach may undergo a less complex procedure.

This is why the tummy tuck and breast lift UK prices are so varied, as every situation differs so vastly.

Some of the more severe surgeries can take a couple of hours, whereas the less severe ones can take around 90 minutes.  During your consultation, your surgeon may be able to provide a better idea of how long your surgery might take.

Location 

Location also plays a huge role in the price of your breast lift procedure. In the UK, you will have a range of clinics that offer the same procedure but at different prices. The main factor that influences these prices is the clinic’s location.

Patients can look further afield to get a breast lift, with countries in Eastern Europe and Turkey offering lower prices on these types of surgeries. This does not mean the surgery is of lower quality, but due diligence should always be done when going for any type of surgical procedure, as there are some surgeries abroad that are not practised ethically or with safety in mind.

Breast surgery prices can differ substantially based on where in the UK you are, which may surprise some. Breast lift and reduction prices in the UK can be quite varied, so if you are looking to save some money, it may be worth travelling within the country to work with a surgeon within your price range.

Type of Anaesthesia

Anaesthesia can vary in price depending on whether you choose general or local anaesthesia. General anaesthesia keeps the patient completely asleep, whereas local anaesthesia numbs one area.  General anaesthesia tends to come with a higher price point, as it requires additional care and a stay at the surgery to enable the health team to monitor how you react.

Additional Treatments

Mastopexy can be performed with or without the patient receiving breast implants. Some may choose to get several surgeries at once, as this means that you do not need to deal with separate recovery times.

When you decide to go for a breast lift procedure, you may also wish to receive additional breast treatments such as a breast reduction or augmentation. Some may even choose to get a tummy tuck alongside their lift to ensure that their body is well balanced.

The more treatments a surgeon performs, the higher the price of the overall procedure, as it will take longer. If you do wish to undergo multiple procedures, your surgeon will be able to better help you understand what you should expect.

Our breast lift procedure includes the following:

• Doctor fee

FAQS

Some commonly asked questions about the breast lift procedure include:

How long does a breast lift last?

On average, you can expect the results of a breast lift to last anywhere from 10-15 years. Of course, individual results may vary based on factors such as genetics, lifestyle and even weight fluctuations. If you would like to prolong the results of your lift, you should try to maintain a consistent weight and avoid smoking.

What is the downside of breast lift?

There are risks involved in any surgical procedure. There are a number of potential risks associated with undergoing a breast lift procedure, such as scarring, alteration of breast sensation, asymmetry and breastfeeding difficulties.

To avoid these risks where possible, it is important that you only work with a trusted surgeon with a proven track record, as this will ensure that you are undergoing surgery in the safest conditions possible.

Can a breast lift look natural?

Breast lifts are arguably one of the most natural-looking breast procedures that you can undergo. Because you are focusing on tightening existing tissue and repositioning the nipples to create a more youthful and natural appearance, the results tend to look more natural compared to procedures such as breast augmentations.
