How Dangerous is Capsular Contraction?

September 19, 2013

I had saline implants put in 2 years ago. I'm not sure how many cc's, but I was a 34A & I'm now a 36C. They were placed under the muscle &the incisions are through my armpits. I have capsular contraction in my right breast and it sits way higher than the left. It's become painful but I can't afford another surgery. 1st, what is your advice & 2nd, what could happen? Is there anything I can do myself to manipulate it back into place or any medication that I could take? I massage it daily, no change.
