If a breast is encapsulated should a new implant be used?

Question

I am 8mpo and My right breast is still sitting high with some pain and my left dropped too much almost under my armpit.

Dear lizmayor,
in case you don't have issues with implants, then they can probably be used again. If you are considering a surgery, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.

If your implant has never dropped from surgery, the same implant can be used when the pocket is released.

Thank you for the question and if you have capsular contracture or implant displacement it would be recommended to use new implants and an ADM during a future pocket revision
