Asked By:andie46

I had breast augmentation 5 years ago, within 6 months developed capular contracture. My surgeon removed the implants and placed the on top of the muscle. Everything was great and breasts looked awesome until about 4 months ago. From the past experience the systems all the the same. Is this possible? Also, I have an auto immune disorder can this contribute to the problem?
