Has anyone heard of using prednisone to help prevent capsular contracture?

I am not aware of any evidence that prednisone will decrease the incidence of capsular contracture. I have found that Accolate has helped some of my patients (though not all) and I have heard from other doctors that Singulair can be helpful. You might want to ask your doctor about them though you should be aware that both are off label for this use. Good luck to you.

Capsule contracture of the breasts post augmentation
mammoplasty The painful symptoms of your contracture and their recurrence early after
capsulectomy, and reaugmentation are obvious problems. The use of the Medrol pack is
recommended to treat inflammation. It’s inflammation giving rise to the pain.
The problem of the contracture is a known complication of breast augmentation
and has an associated inflammatory component. It’s not out of the realm of
possibility that you actually have an allergy to the implant itself precipitating
the inflammation. Check to determine if there is an alternative medicine
practitioner in your area who would be willing to assess and determine if you
have a sensitivity to the material of your implants. This consideration is well
off the beaten path but at the same time it might provide an answer for the
rapidity and early-onset of your symptoms. Whereas the Medrol dose pack will relieve your symptoms, this will be temporary if your body is sensitive to the implants. The sensitivity can be treated by the practitioner, possibly affording you longer relief.
