Capsular Contracture Treatment in Texas
Women across Texas seeking treatment for capsular contracture — and complete removal of the biofilm-colonized capsule behind it — travel to Dr. Robert Whitfield, MD, in Austin.
Texas-Wide Access
A Central Location for the Whole State
Austin's central position makes it accessible from anywhere in Texas. San Antonio is about 90 minutes by car. Houston and Dallas patients typically fly in. The practice coordinates scheduling for out-of-town Texas patients.
Dr. Whitfield is a board-certified plastic surgeon with over 1,000 explant procedures and the author of the largest PCR-tested capsule study in medical literature (PMID 39338504). His research identified bacterial contamination in 29 percent of 694 capsule specimens.
Understanding Severity
Baker Grades I Through IV
Grade I is soft with no symptoms. Grade IV is hard, painful, and visibly distorted. A 2025 Copenhagen study found capsular contracture activates immune pathways similar to organ allograft rejection.
Dr. Whitfield performs en bloc or total capsulectomy based on capsule thickness, implant status, and whether BIA-ALCL is suspected.

Capsular Contracture in Texas — FAQ
How does travel work for out-of-town Texas patients?
The team coordinates scheduling to consolidate consultation, surgery, and early follow-up. Telehealth follow-up is available once the patient returns home. Most out-of-town Texas patients start with a virtual consultation.
Can I do a virtual consultation first?
Yes. Most out-of-town Texas patients begin with a virtual consultation to review implant history, imaging, and symptoms before planning surgery.
Do you treat capsular contracture with en bloc capsulectomy?
Yes. Dr. Whitfield performs en bloc capsulectomy when clinically indicated, and total capsulectomy on every case, selecting the approach based on capsule thickness, implant status, and clinical findings.
