Encapsulated contracture, a complication of breast augmentation where scar tissue hardens around the implant, is often misunderstood. Contrary to popular belief, it is not inevitable and can be minimized with proper surgical techniques and post-operative care. While pain is a common symptom, the severity varies, and some individuals may experience little to no discomfort. The notion that massage can universally prevent encapsulated contracture is also a myth, as its effectiveness varies.
