Transgender with symmastia/capsular contracture and no hope. What are my options? (Photo)

Question

I am my 4th breast surgery, I have symmastia and both implants have capsular contracture. I’ve had numerous consultations, emailed some very well known breast surgeons with no hope. I will attach pictures, hoping some breast surgeon will reach out and give me hope.

Steven Sigalove, MD FACS · Answer

Multi-recurrent capsular contracture is a difficult problem to contend with. However, I think you have one more chance to achieve a beautiful and soft breast. For these challenging cases, I typically perform a site change, P4HB full wrap ravioli construct with implant exchange and judicious use of various antibiotics, irrigations, and other postoperative protocol. I have been using this technique for years and recurrence rates are quite low. Feel free to reach out and contact our office for a live or virtual consultation. #Sigalift

Very likely that treatment of capsular contracture, at this stage, should involve acellular dermal graft and fat grafting. It is very expensive procedure and should be done by a real expert. Good luck.
