How severe must a UTI be to make capsular contracture of submuscular 410s likely? (Photo)

Asked By:Skelectrophile in Raleigh, NC

I am 5.5 weeks post op. Had 475 (left) and 375 (right) cc high profile 410s (gummy bears) implanted below the muscle. Symptoms of a UTI came on today. Within 2 hours I had my prescription and took 500 mg cipro. I know capsular contracture is an immune response and for this reason infections increase the risk. Is this true for any infection in the body, big or small? If the infection is not in the area of the implant is the risk very low? Does a quick response with antibiotics lower the chance?
