I had done my implant in nov 2010 and got encapsulated in dic 2011. I had a terrible situation with having the the amount of money to repair. I want to have an opinion for how long can I keep it like that. Can affect me if I keep it for more longer time?

Answer: Breast implant capsular contracture correction is a significant surgery
I don't know the details of your specific situation - but for patients with severe capsular contracture, I recommend a plane-switch operation (above to below muscle or neo-submuscular pocket), a new set of implants, and Strattice internal slings.

Answer: Capsular contracture question
A capsular contracture is simply a scar tissue capsule that forms around a foreign object such as a breast implant. If the capsule stays soft then it is not a problem. If it becomes thick or the fibers in the capsule tighten down then it can distort the shape of the breast and become uncomfortable. This is called a capsular contracture. It is not dangerous and you can live with it your whole life if you want/need to.
