Can capsular contracture be caused by taking MSM, glucosamine, and Vitamin C?

Thank you very much for your question.  There is no evidence that nutritional supplements cause or contribute to capsular contracture formation.  At this time the exact mechanism is incompletely understood, but the most commonly accepted theory is that low grade inflammation secondary to bacterial contamination and biofilm formation on the implant after implantation is the most likely inciting factor.  It is most likely more complex than that including  a role for host biological factors that have not been indentified at this point.  Follow your surgeon's instructions. Best wishes.

Hello Endredi. No one knows the exact cause of capsula contracture. As far as I know,  the supplements you mentioned do not increase the risks. Best wishes on your upcoming breast augmentation, Dr. ALDO

The causes of capsular contraction are not totally understood at this time, however, there is no valid scientific evidence that the supplements and vitamins that you routinely take have any role in producing capsular contraction. You should discuss what medications, supplements, and
vitamins you are taking, both prescription and over the counter, with your
plastic surgeon and have him or her decide what you should and should not be
taking. Your surgeon should be certified by the American Board of Plastic
Surgery and ideally a member of the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic
Surgery (ASAPS). Robert Singer, MD  FACS
