Are my headaches and tiredness part of my capsular contracture?

Question

I am removing my implants on 8/7/15 due to capsule contractor but lately I have very bad headaches that won't go away even after drinking ibuprofen. I also feel very tired and I want to know if this would be part of my situation with my implants?

It is extremely unlikely that your headaches and fatigue are caused by your capsular contracture.  It would be best for you consult with your primary care physician regarding the headaches and fatigue.  Good luck

Surgery is stress and does take a while for your body to heal. However, headaches could be related to a whole host of things. I would suggest discussing this with your primary care physician.

Sorry to hear about your capsule contracture. Unfortunately CC is an unpredictable problem that sometimes is related to other symptoms that usually manifests locally, at your breast level. Systemic symptoms such as headaches, malaise, tiredness are not a usual complaint related to CC and might be related to a cold, viral infection or other reasons. I hope everything goes well with your next surgical procedure. If you are getting new implants, perhaps a change in the implant position, approach and technique will prevent further CC recurrence. Hope this helps.
