I'm one year postop. My PS has recommended a closed capsulotomy, along with medication. My concern is that the cc will return. I was hoping to schedule a revision surgery to go bigger but now don't know if it's possible because of the cc on my right breast. My ps said the risk of cc is not worth a revision surgery. However aren't there risks with a closed capsulotomy? My implants are overs.
