I'm 28, and I have 425cc Saline breast implants with a capsular contracture ("CC") on my right side. It's severe and painful, and will need to be removed. My doctor suggested replacing the saline with silicone. He said that there is only a 1% chance of the CC occuring again. Is that true? Which should I go for? I also am planning to go smaller, so both implants will be replaced.
Once your body has shown that it "knows" how to make CC, your future risk will certainly be more than 1%. The lowest rates come with saline under the muscle so if you are above the muscle you might consider submuscular conversion. The risk remains higher with gel. Size doesn't really matter so much.
