H pylori infection caused my capsular contraction?

Question

I have h pylori infection and I did let my ps know I had it prior to my surgery, he said it was ok and I could still go through my procedure. About 5 months post op I noticed my left breath firmer and higher, turns out I do have cc. I did my research in allergen and on their website it says no one with an active infection should get a breast augmentation. Is my h pylori the cause of getting capsular contraction and if so why did my ps go ahead with the procedure? ??

It is unlikely that a luminal gut infection of H pylori could cause a capsular contractor.,  I would have no problem operating on a patient with H pylori.

Your breasts are not being influenced by your stomach contamination, you'd rather not read by your own medical texts that will be misunderstood.

Yuly Gorodisky, DO, FACOS · Answer

It is not likely that your capsule contracture is due to H. Pylori.  Many people have H.pylori in their stomach and this can cause ulcers. There many other types of bacteria in and on our bodies, and although H.pylori is harmful it is not the type of infection that Allergan website is talking about.
