Unsure of capsular contracture. Annual mam due to cancer risk. Development of swelling on left side of arm pit. PC referred me for ultrasound 2x. Told that the swelling was probably just fat and that I just needed to lose weight. I was also told that the pain was due to stress. The pain has become intolerable. Accompanied by intermittent burning and itching. Impossible to do a mamm. without collapsing in pain. I DO NOT care about appearance. I want the pain to end.

Answer: Explant with Bellesoma Method The technique I recommend is explantation and lift using The Bellesoma Method. The implants are removed, your breast tissue is reshaped creating upper pole fullness, elevated higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage. Vertical scars are avoided, nipple sensation (in 95%) and the ability to breast feed are maintained if not injured during your previous surgery. Later, fat transfers can be performed if additional volume is desired. Best Wishes, Gary Horndeski, M.D.

Answer: Breast implant removal I'm sorry to hear of the discomfort you are experiencing. I encourage you to visit with a board certified plastic surgeon who can examine you related to capsular contracture. You can elect to have your implants out at any time. If they pain is related to the implants or the capsules this should bring some relief.
