750 cc Mod+ Natrelle implant on the right ruptured after 15 years in Jan 24'. Revision performed Mar. 24 w/755cc Mentor HP extra + bilat. Capsulorrhaphy. 2 weeks after surgery, right breast much lower than the left. Underwent a revision to the right breast in Sept. 24' w/revision to lateral capsulorrhaphy and mesh placed. Month and a half out of surgery, right breast is increasingly riding up right chest. Now the top of my breast is all implant and my IMF is higher. Is this capsular contracture?
Do you increase your risk of forming capsular contracture when you have a revision surgery? I had implants and a lift, then a year later I had to have a second surgery to re-do the lift and have mesh put in. Its been over 6 months and I think I may be forming a contracture on one side. so I was just curious if that second surgery increased my risk?
I currently have capsular contractions with Mentor and i am wondering if its worth replacing with the new Motiva since my doc said they have less chances of capsular contractions. My current implants are under coverage and I want to know if i should spend the money and replace with new brand or should I just exchange it with mentor again. Also my doc said if just the one be replaced there is a chance it will be uneven since the other one hasn't been touched.
Hi everyone, I have been having issues with my left breast since the day of surgery and feel like I have capsular contracture. My surgeon keeps telling me it is not that but also putting me on medication regimen for it. Does this look like it to you? And would you recommend revision surgery?
I recently exchanged my 20+ year-old implants, for new high profile silicone, under the muscle. Its been 6ish weeks, I do have very tight muscles, could they settle in and look normal? Im following my surgeons protocol with massage, singulair, breast strap etc... what are the chances they drop in and I dont have to have another surgery?
Hi, I went to a consult with a surgeon today about operating on capsular contracture on my right side and he said to just operate on the right since my implants ( mentor memory gel HP 400 cc smooth/round) are only 4 years old. Is this recommended? Will they look weird if operated on seperately?
I got silicone 360cc half under the muscle half above breast implants January 2023. I got in mild infection in my right breast incision that went away from antibiotics fast. Now a year and a half later my right breast feels tight but loose, weird when laying on my back, weird when moved side to side on back. I have chest pain, pressure, and a cough. My doctor believes its capsular. I dont want to take singulair due to mental health warning. Is there another medicine I can take?
Hi all I've got an issue with my 13 year old breast implants a huge change in size hardening and pain ( in one implant ) it looks like cc from my research.

( cant get finance either ) please give some tips on how I can try and stop it advancing rapidly and will I get it again with a reop I'm absolutely terrified.
