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

Asked By:Mottpeyton in Sacramento, CA

I developed bilateral grade 4 CC within a month of my initial BA. 3 weeks ago I had a capsulectomy and implant exchange. Two days ago my right breast ( around the upper pec muscle area) began to have a constant burning ache. This is exactly how my problems started last time. My doctor recommended trying a Medrol pack. I'm Concern about taking prednisone but will if it helps with inflammation.
