I just had my 3rd breast implant surgery. The last two were for revisions for capsular contracture. I'm desperate not to end up with it again. I read about B.I. Secret. Have you heard of this supplement or anything about its effectiveness? How soon after surgery can I begin taking this supplement ? Is there anything else you would recommend?

Answer: Capsular contracture treatment I personally have never heard about B.I. Secret until your question. I would like to think I am pretty up to date on capsular contracture research and I have not seen the use of this quoted in any of our literature. That being said, I did look at their website and the lead ingredient is Bromelain which is found in pineapple and has been shown to decrease post surgical inflammation. I know the Bromelain would not hurt you, bump I have no idea what any of the other ingredients would contribute. I would recommend you show this to your surgeon and make sure they don't see any ingredient that would harm you in this list. I, too, had multiple surgeries for my capsular contractures so I know how you feel about not wanting to go through this again. For me, changing to textured implants did the trick. I will also tell you there have been anecdotal studies in our literature that have found the allergy medication Singulair to have a very beneficial effect in preventing recurrent capsular contractures and even treating current ones. I have seen excellent results with this in my patients. But talk with your doctor, I personally would put you on Singulair for 3 months. Best of luck.

Answer: Capsular contracture Thank you for the photos and question - in my experience the use of a protein matrix dramatically reduces the risk of recurrent capsular contracture- that is what I would recommendDr Corbin
