Contraction capsulaire. La contraction capsulaire intervient quand le tissu cicatrisant ou la capsule qui se forme normalement autour de l'implant serre et compresse l'implant. Cela peut arriver à un ou aux deux implants. Il y a quatre étapes lors d'une contraction capsulaire connues sous le nom des étapes de Baker. Les étapes de Baker sont les suivantes : étape 1 - le sein est normalement souple et semble naturel; étape 2 - le sein est un peu ferme mais semble naturel; étape 3 - le sein est ferme et semble anormal; étape 4 - le sein est dur, douloureux et semble anormal. La contraction capsulaire peut nécessiter une réopération en général au stade 3 et 4 et elle peut resurgir après. 1, record 1, French, - %C3%A9tape%20de%20Baker
