Capsular Contracture Revision and Recovery?

Hello

The good news is that the majority of breast augmentation revision surgery have a much shorter and easier recovery than the original augmentation.  Most patients whom I have performed full capsulectomy revisions have described only mild discomfort.  There is a possibility however that your plastic surgeon may choose to use a drain.  This may add a little to the cumbersome component of the recovery.

All the best,

To answer this question you'd really need to elaborate about exactly what was being done to treat your capsules.  Sometimes it's appropriate to simply 'score' the front part of the capsue, sometimes the front of the capsule is removed in its entirety, and sometimes the entire capsule is removed.  All of these procedures have their indications and may have different recoveries.
