Capsular contracture grade 4, what are my options if I cannot afford Alloderm ?

November 7, 2018
Asked By:Nataly93 in Miami, FL

Silicon implant 375cc and 420cc placed over the muscle 1,5 months ago. Had pain and yellow discharge coming from the incision after a surgery on my left breast ( which eventually developed cc) . I went to my doctor one month later complaining for pain, hardness and change in breast shape he diagnosed me cc grade 4.Now Im taking Singular and some inflammatory drugs, tried to do Aspen therapy, but they told me it won’t help. So my doctor wants to perform capsulectomy, but Im scared cc will happen again.
