Accolate for Suspected Capsular Contracture?

igt
I am now 7 weeks Breast augmentation post-op and was recently told by my plastic surgeon that I may have beginning signs of capsular contracture, due to the firmness of my implants. I am still very swollen and my doctor suspects that I may have inflammatory problems that may need to be checked by my general doctor. I am currently taking 400-800 i.u. Vitamin E and Fish oil in hopes for improved healing, as well as rigorous massage and compression exercises. Should I be taking Accolate now as well?
