Strattice for Revision of Capsular Contracture and Bottoming Out (photo)

Originaly BA was 01/2012 with Mentor Smooth Round HP 500cc(R) and 450cc(L). Obviously this is not the result I was looking for. I am currently researching revision to correct the capsular contrature on the right and bottoming out on the left. Considering the complications I have had with the 1st surgery is it wise to consider revision through internal sutures alone or is a product such as Strattice my best bet to avoid further capsular contracture and bottoming out? Help! Thank you!

Complications following breast augmentation

Thank you for your questions and pictures. Regarding the right breast I recommend doing capsulectomy without Strattice. Starttice is recommended for patients who have recurrent capsular contracture. As for the left breast, you had inferior and some lateral malposition of the implant. For that internal suturing would help in reshaping the breast. Ultimately, the type of surgery will be determined after examination of the breasts.
