Chances of Encapsulating After Second Breast Augmentation?

August 11, 2009
Asked By:Ponchobeans in San Antonio, TX

I had Breast Implants put in in 1997. I got pregnant a little while after getting the implants. My implants encapsulated causing pain and discomfort. I had them removed, but chose not to do any reconstructive surgery until I was done having children.I would like to get a Breast Lift to fix the sagging. However, I am an A cup. My question is if I tried implants again, maybe over the muscle as opposed to under, are my chances extremely high of it encapsulating again?
