The most common complication following a capsulectomy is bleeding the night of or in the first few days following surgery. There is a lot of "raw" tissue after removing all of a capsule, and though a plastic surgeon will not finish the operation until the bleeding is all stopped, sometimes a blood vessel will bleed again after surgery. If this happens, the breast will swell, get hard, and become painful. You should call your plastic surgeon immediately and they will consider taking you back to surgery to drain and stop the bleeding.
