Answer: What's The Chance of Capsular Contracture Happening Twice?
Capsular contracture has been reported at varying rates following breast augmentation. 5% may be a fair number, but the chances after one occurrence is higher. Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA

Answer: Same capsular contracture rate with same implants
Dear Valerie Marie, although there are some predisposing factors independent from the implant such as haematoma or dormant infection, the chances for you to develop a contracture are exactly the same as after the first operation.
The only implants which have a significantly lower CC rate are the ones with a coating of polyurethane foam. I know that unfortunately these are not available anymore in the USA, although they were used extensively in the nineties.
We offer these implants to all of our patients for almost 15 years now, and are very happy with the outcome.
