Taking Supplements to Prevent Capsular Contraction

imadvice
I am about to have a bottomed out revision with PDS sutures. However, I am also concerned about developing a capsular contracture. I plan to take supplements such as Scar Multiplex Formula to help dissolve excess scar tissues and lessen adhesions. The concern is, since we are expecting scar tissues to build around the sutures while healing, will taking other supplements to supposingly soften the scar and get rid of excess scar tissues counteract the bottomed out revision healing proces? More specifically, will the bottomed out revision not work if I take supplements to prevent capsular contracture?
