I have encapsulated breast and want to change the implant. There is a medication called singulair which apparently you take before and after to prevent capsulation happening again. Is this true?

Answer: How to prevent capsular contracture? There is no way to completely prevent capsular contracture but certain steps can help decrease the risk. Changing the pocket/location and using acellular dermis will definitely help. Implant brand doesn't make a difference and singulair may or may not help. Best to see a board certified plastic surgeon who can explain the best treatment options for you!

Answer: Capsular contracture Singulair is believed to help in cases of capsular contracture. I don't believe the brand of implant will make a difference. I have used acellular dermal matrix, such as Strattice, after removing the contracted capsule around the implants and this has the best chance of resolving contracture, in my opinion.
