Can a daily supplement stop breast implant scarring?
NCT ID NCT06785610
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether a daily dietary supplement called Capsulase can prevent capsular contracture, a condition where scar tissue tightens around breast implants, causing pain and distortion. One hundred women who had a mastectomy and immediate implant reconstruction took the supplement after surgery. Researchers will compare their rate of capsular contracture at one year to historical data from patients who did not take the supplement.
What this could mean

- Active substance
- Capsulase (dietary supplement)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could offer a simple, non-drug way to prevent a common complication after breast implant surgery.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early study without a control group, so results are preliminary. The supplement may not prove effective in larger, more rigorous trials.
