I had a ba in 2001 with smooth, saline, over the muscle and developed bilateral cc, worse on right side, within a few months. In 2003 I went to a new ps, I changed to a smaller implants, smooth saline, under the muscle, ps used drains, and I developed cc again in the right side with in a few weeks. In 2005 I removed the implants. I have been reading about the use of strattice for recurrent cc. I was quoted $3K for the strattice. What kind of results have you had with using strattice for cc?

Answer: Strattice to prevent capsular contracture
I have used Strattice a few times for recurrent capsular contracture, and it has been effective with more than a year follow-up. Since your contracture recurred early, i think it is a very good idea. It is unfortunately quite expensive but it is a unique product.

Answer: Capsular contracture years after breast augmentation
All breast implants develop capsules shortly after they are placed. The question is what type of capsule will it be. That cannot be predicted before your body makes it. The capsules can be paper thin, a centimeter or two thick, contain muscle contracting like cells etc. Although Alloderm or other acellular dermal matrixes(ADM) may prevent the formation of bad contracting capsules I cannot logically see why that would be the case and to my knowledge that is have never been proven. ADMs are mostly used to reconstructed inframammary folds, treat symmastia or increase tissue coverage to hide rippling.
