Capsular contracture, do I need complete new implants, if I am undergoing surgery for a capsular contracture?

September 16, 2015
Asked By:elizabeth375 in Cerritos, CA

I recently was informed by my surgeon that i have a capsular contracture . Mind you, i just had my breasts (saline, under muscle, high profile) done in march 2015. My concerns are do i need complete new implants to replace the capsulated one? Each video i see posted on you tube surgeons are using new implants to replace the old one. I would rather pay more for brand new implants than to have to re do them a third time. What are the chances of it forming again? . Please help.
