Capsular contracture returning after revision?

Polite734921May 13, 2023
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.

At six months post op you can consider revision surgery at your convenience. The implant size you chose is large and may be influencing how the implants are settling. Selecting a smaller implant may improve your results.

A lot of this is due to your overall shape and width of sternum along with general settling and stretching of the skin. Tacking of the pocket and revision of the attachments and shapemof the pocket may help.
