Capsular Contracture: Is it better to live with it or treat it?

JJButtercups
I slowly developed CC since my surgery. My doctor prescribed Montelukast, which reduced my symptoms to a bearable level. I'm afraid to redo the surgery because I might develop CC again, but is doing nothing just as bad for me? By letting the CC worsen, am I letting my breast tissue become more destroyed? I'm also constantly sick now; currently am experiencing my 4th cold in the last 5 months. Is there hope that in a few years I can have my implants removed and replaced with natural fat?
