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?

Answer: Capsular contracture Every patient's outcome is different. Whether you decide to have a surgery is up to you with the guidance of your surgeon's experience with this issue and treatment thereof

Answer: Capsular contracture twice. Is there much success with your experience of women having a third capsulectomy? Sorry to hear about the complications you have experienced. Capsular contraction can be a very frustrating complication for both patients and surgeons. In my practice, I have found the most success treating these difficult problems utilizing techniques such as sub muscular pocket conversion (if relevant), capsulectomy, use of fresh implants, and the use of acellular dermal matrix. Acellular dermal matrix is a biologic implant that carries the ability to become integrated into native tissue. It is made by taking a full thickness section of skin from a donor source (his human, porcine, or bovine in origin). I hope this, and the attached link ( demonstrating a case utilizing acellular dermal matrix) helps.
