I have capsular contracture on one breast but can't afford revision yet, can I use this clamp? (Photo)

Question

I can’t afford to get a revision and replace until next year. I was wondering in the mean time could I use this clamp thing? Is it just a waste of money?

Hello, thank you for your question. I have attached a video in detail that answers your question in detail specifically. In my opinion, you do not need to use this clamp. While a clamp or compression device might provide some temporary relief, it’s essential to weigh its potential benefits against its cost and your specific situation. Consulting with your healthcare provider can help you make an informed decision about whether it’s a worthwhile investment for your comfort until you can undergo the revision. Your priority should be to find ways to manage pain effectively and improve your quality of life in the interim.
