How do you recommend correcting a capsular contracture 2 months after surgery?

I appreciate your question.It is very rare at 2 months to have CC unless you've had it previously.Please see your PSThe best way to assess and give true advice would be an in-person exam.Please see a board-certified plastic surgeon that specializes in aesthetic and restorative breast surgery.best of luck!Dr Schwartz

It would be very difficult to diagnose capsular contracture two months after surgery. Although this is a time. When scar can be contracting, at this time there are a number of other changes going on in normal healing and in general, it may take 3 to 6 months for your breasts to soften. Discuss your concerns with your surgeon. Remember, one breast may soften prior to the other which can make one concerned that the former implant is developing capsular contracture. Often this just resolves with time. Follow your surgeon's recommendations for massage or any other techniques that may helps soften the implant

Hi.. thank you for the question... Is very rare to see a capsular contracture 2 months post surgery, usually this happens after a Hepatoma. In the case that is a contracture, is recommended to wait until 6 months after the surgery to let the tissue to diminish the swollen. 

The best advice I can give you is to follow up with your surgeon. It is rare to see capsular contraction so early.  Your surgeon will have better insight based on physical exam. Certain medication and massage techniques may be recommended.Again, best to see and address your concerns with your surgeon.Best Wishes, Nana Mizuguchi

Hi,

Thanks for posting your question. I am happy to try and help you. It is
important to remember that a board certified plastic surgeon will be your best
resource when it comes to an accurate assessment of your situation, and
concerns.

Having said that, capsular contracture is a very unfortunate condition that may
develop after breast augmentation surgery. The cause is an enigma and we have
some suspicions that it may be caused by subclinical bacterial infection, or
excessive bleeding during or after surgery. The treatment is also complicated
and some PS will through the kitchen sink at it trying to make it go away. Some
times it works, other times it does not. Ultrasound, asthma medications,
reoperating, scar tissue removal, changing to a different breast pocket, breast
implant exchange and even implant removal have been suggested to treat it. The
other problem is that it may go away after all of these heroic efforts only to
have it return. In other cases, one of these may work and it does not come
back. It is a tough problem.Hopefully you do not actually have a capsular contracture and just healed too fast. Best wishes

Is this your first breast implant surgery or a revision?If not, have you had capsular contracture before?What is happening over time? Getting worse? Better?What does your doctor say? Have they initiated any form of treatment?

Thank you for your question. It very rare to happen capsular contracture in two months after surgery unless there is a post op hematoma. Please see your PS for evaluation.

It would be a bit unusual although not impossible for a capsular contracture to occur at 2 months after surgery. An evaluation by your doctor would be necessary.

Capsular contracture is extremely rare 2 months post op (unless you had a post-op hematoma).  Your tissues may still be tight and could relax with massages (ask your PS for details).  For true early capsular contractures, the recommended treatments include massage, possible ultrasound treatments, possible Erchonia Laser treatments, oral antioxidants, and possibly prescribing anti-asthma drugs such as Singulair.
