Reoccurring capsular contraction - do I have any options or just take them out?

April 19, 2024
Asked By:Gabbyz4

I am 1 year post surgery and I think I am developing capsular contraction again (only on the right side). This is my 4rd surgery for this. All surgeries under the muscle, but with the last surgery I got a mesh. Also, different surgeons. Do I have any options or just take them out? How about over the muscle? Thank you for your time.
