[Girin Plastic Surgery] - Causes and symptoms of capsular contracture of the breast as seen in actual surgical cases

Hello, I am Dr. Song Jae Yong, a breast specialist at Girin Plastic Surgery which is located in Gangnam, Korea. Today, I would like to tell you about capsular contracture and breast revision surgery.

If only one side is affected, it is known as a unilateral cleft lip and palate. If both sides are affected, it is referred to as a bilateral cleft lip and palate. In both cases, primary corrective surgery is typically performed within a few months after birth. However, even after primary correction, secondary deformation may occur along with bone growth during the growth period. During the growth period, bone growth should develop evenly, but in most patients with cleft lip and palate, the growth of nasal cart
