In Early Stages of Capsular Contracture, Are there Prevention Methods? (photo)

Hello! Thank you for your question! Recurrent capsular contracture is a
very difficult problem. Assuming you tried conservative measures in the
past - implant massage and may add the medication Singulair and Vitamin
E. If these fail, surgical correction may be necessary. It is a matter
of surgeon preference as well as what is seen during your procedure
that will determine whether or not a complete capsulectomy is performed.
If significant capsule formation is seen intraoperatively, a full
capule removal may be warranted with a drain in order to completely
remove all of the tissue and allow better adherence of your breast back
to its normal anatomic position down on your chest wall. Irrigating with
certain medications may also be if benefit. Some other things that may
have been tried include changing the position of your implant, addition
of a dermal matrix, or consideration for the the shaped, textured,
anatomical gel implants. Without knowing your issues and
without an examination, it is difficult to tell you what may be the best
thing for you. I tend to favor performing capsulectomies in order to
create a fresh pocket, reshape the pocket, allow better shape and
adherence of the overlying breast. I would discuss your issues with your
plastic surgeon who will assist you in determining the right modality
for you. At a 3rd recurrence, it may continue to occur despite all of
these modalities and consideration for explantation or living with the
contracture are options. Hope that this helps! Best wishes!

Yes try massage, ultrasound therapy, oral singular. But based upon your photos the left looks smaller and of differing volume and shape. It could be a CC but need in person examination.
