I'm 3 months post op. I have 240cc under the muscle. I started to develop contraction 2 months in. I'm curious to know what stage I'm in and if I should consider surgery. I have been on medication for 3 weeks so far,but I haven't seen much improvement. I finish my medication in 3 or 4 weeks. If it doesn't soften should I consider surgery? Will it soften?

Answer: Capsular contracture, 3 months post op, will it soften or should I consider surgery? Three months is pretty early for a capsule contracture to form, so if you were my patient I would approach it conservatively and without surgery. I would like suggest massage, ultrasound, Singulair or Accolate, Alpha tocopherol 1000 u, and possibly antibiotics. It all depends on the level of CC and the type of breast implant/approach used to place the breast implants. You might not see an improvement with the medications for several months. Speak with your plastic surgeon or have a second opinion.
