Can injectable cortisone help with capsule contracture?

Thank you for your question. I am sorry you are having this problem. I do not believe a cortisone injection will help. The treatment for grade 4 CC is complete removal of the scar tissue capsule. Best of luck

The best treatment for grade 4 capsular contracture is complete surgical removal of the capsule, changing the pocket of the original implant, and support the pocket with surgical mesh to try to minimize its recurrence. It is best to seek the advice of a board certified plastic surgeon.Best wishes,

Thank you for your question.  There are no scientific studies that I'm aware of that show injection of cortisone will resolve capsular contractures.  There are also many undesirable side effects of injection as well not to mention the possiblilty of damaging the implants.  Most reputable surgeons I know would recommend removal of implants and capsules for treatment.  The lump you are referring to needs to be evaluated and significant diagnoses ruled out before undergoing treatment. I would recommend
starting with a face to face consult with a Board Certified Plastic
Surgeon who has experience in breast surgery. During your visit your surgeon
should be evaluating your health to determine if you are a good surgical
candidate and examining your tissues to get a sense of what type of procedure
your tissues will allow. Only with a hands on exam can this be determined.
During the consult you and the surgeon should be understanding of the goals and
realistic outcomes of your choices. Once an exam and opinion is rendered then
you can decide if surgery is right for you. Good luck.
