Botulinum Toxin Type A as a Tool for Correcting Capsular Contracture after Reconstructive Breast Surgery

We described a clinical case of the capsular contracture correction using incobotulinumtoxin A. Capsular contracture IV developed 4 months post surgery after long-term lymphorrhea. Radiation therapy was not performed. According to the internal protocol, the patient was advised to undergo incobotulinumtoxin A treatment instead of surgery. Within 1 week after the second injection, all symptoms decreased—specifically, the general shape of the reconstructed breast. Also, the pain syndrome disappeared.
