Non-surgical treatment for capsular contracture (BA)?

So I got capsular contracture at 9 Months Post operation. I'm in grade 2 where my implants feels tighter but still looking normal. My PS prescribed singulair, Doxycycline, vitamin E and aggressive massage in other to loosen the capsule. My question is. how likely is this to actually get better at this point?
