Strattice complications and risks after original complications?

It is too early to make a diagnosis of capsular contracture. If the Strattice was used to help with bottoming out, the breast should feel tighter. The capsular contracture rate is believed to be reduced with Strattice, but the rate is certainly not zero. Finally, Strattice placed for bottoming out will be placed in a different area and for a different reason that capsular contracture. Find a plastic surgeon with ELITE credentials who performs hundreds of breast augmentations and breast augmentation revisions each year. Then look at the plastic surgeon's website before and after photo galleries to get a sense of who can deliver the results. Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA

In general, you would not see evidence of a capsular for several months. I would be patient at this point and wait to see what happens. Best of luck.

Capsular contracture is very unlikely to develop after placement of Strattice, so Accolate is not likely to be helpful. At one week you would not be seeing CC anyway, and as swelling subsides the breast should begin to move and feel more natural.
