Asked By:bexBEX24 in Kent, UK

I got sub pectoral silicone textured implants, 280cc, 7 years ago. Grade 4 capsular contracture in left, grade 2/3 in the right. Capsulectomy and implant exchange in few weeks. I am of athletic build and was an A cup. What can I do to reduce capsular contracture reuccuring, specifically, will smaller implants help to reduce risk?
