Capsular contracture question related to pregnancy and breast feeding?

January 5, 2014
Asked By:Lovelife2 in Denver, CO

I have capsular contracture :/. I noticed a hardening of my left breast about 3 months after stopping breast feeding my now 19 month old. My surgeon retired and the Dr now practicing in his office was far from helpful. She diagnosed me with capsular contracture. We are trying to conceive our second baby so no time to get my breast fixed. What can I expect my breast to be like while going through my second pregnancy? Will I be able to breast feed from that breast at all? Is it harmful to my baby?
