Capsular contracture returning after revision?

Question

I had my original procedure 7/22& in April decided I would go in for revision as left was not dropping fully still. After the revision procedure I was SO happy with the immediate results-everything was in it's perfect place finally and symmetrical etc. However 2 weeks later the left started to rise back up again! Why would this be? CC forming again? Am I just out of hope that my body will take to this procedure? Anything I can do to get it back to where it was? Feeling very discouraged.

Dear Polite734921,
I understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment, it would be difficult to determine what went wrong. It is best that you visit your plastic surgeon for further assessment or ask for a second opinion. Only after a thorough examination, you can get proper recommendations and advice.

I would suggest wearing the compressive chest band up high and trying oral Accolate and external ultrasound treatments if the capsule is forming again.
