All women considering Denver plastic surgery will want to be well informed about the procedures they are considering. In my blog on capsule formation, I talked about good capsules and bad capsules. Every woman who gets implants must know how to get the good capsule and avoid the bad one!

1. No High Impact Activities for 6 Weeks: The body takes about 6 weeks to make the capsule, after breast implant surgery. During that 6 week time period, the tissue around the implant is still a raw surface and is easily irritated by excessive implant motion, which will cause tissue irritation, inflammation and cause thickening of the capsule.  So during this time, you must avoid high impact activities like jumping or jogging, or big arm swinging activities (tennis, golf).

If you’ve read about breast augmentation, you’ve heard about avoiding “capsule contracture,” the term we use to describe the development of firmness of the breast after breast implants. Denver women should always take the time to understand all aspects of the breast augmentation process.

What is a “capsule” and why is it so important to a successful result to breast augmentation? Is there a “good capsule”? How do you avoid a “bad capsule”? The answers are ones that every women having breast implant should know!
