What are the odds of capsular contracture recurrence?

If you have a capsular contracture the incidence of that recurring is higher in the incidence for first-time breast augmentation patients. Saline implants do not have a lower capsular contracture rate than silicone gel.

Unfortunately, no one really knows who is going to develop a capsular contracture or why it happens to some people and not others.  If it seems to be getting worse, it would be in your best interest to take care of it sooner than later.  There is really no difference in re-occurance between saline or silicone implants, textured or smooth.  It is true that if you have a CC, you run a higher risk of it occurring again.  Oral medication (with risks of it's own), capsulectomy with same implant or new implant (my preference), or capsulectomy with same implant or new implant with a dermal matrix such as alloderm are all options.  Talk with your surgeon so he can evaluate how bad your contracture is and see what options you have from there. ac
