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

Asked By:Endredi in Allen Park, MI

Scheduled for primary BA in a few weeks. I read that these supplements may actually cause capsular contracture? I can't find reference to this anywhere but on the website of a single plastic surgeon, so I'm willing to bet that it's theoretical, not clinically validated. Either way, I'm very concerned, as I've been dependent on all 3 (plus collagen powder) for arthritis for years. My own PS doesn't object & even cleared my use of them right up to surgery but I'd like to hear from other docs too.
