How Dangerous is Capsular Contraction?

Capsular contracture (CC) is a known but poorly understood phenomenon. We have a whole bunch of theories of why it occurs (inflammation is the leading candidate) but no uniformly accepted treatment which prevents recurrence. Leukotriene receptor inhibitors are a promising treatment when combined with Vitamin E. It is strictly off label. My preference is Singulair over Accolate; less liver problems, but neither is cleared for CC by the FDA. It usually works. But works best early.  I doubt that massage alone will work. I hate to bring it up but, CC is a convenient diagnosis and probably correct, but you should rule out other causes of hardness and pain.  Most of us plastic surgeons will take care of our complications at a reduced rate. I can't speak for your's but it doesn't hurt to ask. Usually CC will persist if not treated, some times it changes. But I can't think of too many situations where it can seriously hurt you, but I can think of a few! Don't ignore it.

I don't think that anything will really help two years after surgery. Perhaps you could try high dose vitamin E and Accolate. Accolate has a small but definite risk of causing fatal liver failure so if you go this route you need to be monitored with periodic bloodwork.
