Capsular contracture twice. Is there much success with your experience of women having a third capsulectomy?

lexxielexxington
I got implants June 2013 (silicone under) and had CC within a couple months. Had a redo June 2014. 3/12 months later have it again in the same breast. The second time a capsulectomy with new implants (saline) under the muscle. The dr used the keller funnel. Been takin singular for 3 months (started 2 weeks post op). My CC is back. Is there much success with your experience of women having another capsulectomy (my third try)? When do you tell you patients to just give up & remove the implants?
