Pregnant with capsular contracture, when is it safe to have revision surgery as I want to breast feed?

Thank you for your question.  I would advise that you wait on your surgery. I would recommend at least 6 months after you stop breast feeding.  This way the breast is down to normal size and there is no milk production.  

Mild capsular contracture can be a subjective diagnosis: it may be difficult to tell if contracture is really present. Following over time is useful because generally contractures will progress, get worse. No medications/pills have ever been shown to improve contracture. However, early, mild contractures may  soften and sometimes even resolve with aggressive implant massage to soften the capsule. Especially if you are pregnant, this is a reasonable starting point. Massage the implant in multiple directions firmly a few times a day for at least a month.Also, see your plastic surgeon to evaluate for any other issues that may need to be worked up, like a breast mass. Even advanced contractures may be observed for months, as long as other diagnoses are ruled out, although I prefer to treat them surgically if they persist. I will generally send the capsule to pathology for analysis if removed. Good luck. Thanks for your question.  

Capsular contraction should not impede your ability to Breast feed . Some women find they are not able to breastfeed feed with or without breast implants. Capsular contracture is not a health risk and therefore can be addressed after your pregnancy . A consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon is advisable .
