I have mild capsular contracture after 2 years, and wondering if I go for a revision should I go to a new plastic surgeon to get a different brand implants? Currently i have mentor but have read Sientra causes less capsular. Would it also make more sense to remove both implants since if the capsular side is removed it will look lower than the other breast, and may need another revision for symmetry? I would appreciate your input.

Answer: Capsular Contracture (cc) Implants probably have little to do with cc, regardless of posted rates being different. The most important factors that reduce risk of primary or recurrent cc is evidence-based surgical technique. Surgeons should use an inframammary incision, use the electrocautery extensively in the dissection, irrigate with Betadine, place implants in a subpectoral pocket, and use a funnel for implant delivery. Further, going forward indefinitely after surgery, patients should take antibiotics prophylactically prior to teeth cleaning, Pap smears, and other non-sterile procedures. Treating cc should also include total capsulectomy and possibly the use of mesh or a biologic material known as acellular dermal matrix.
