Grade 2 Capsular Contracture - Implant Replacement Not Necessary?

crna2b
I had 400cc silicone gel implants placed above the muscle a little over a year ago and recently noticed a hardening/tender left breast. I went for a follow up with my PS and he would like to repair this "grade 2" CC. He states it is not necessary to replace the implant, is this safe practice? It makes me feel like I am being set up for yet another CC. Also,I was never instructed to massage/use commpression postop,common? Could it have contributed to my problem? Is it too late to try Singulair?
