Capsular Contracture Treatment

UPDATED FROM SammJo26

One year update!

WORTH IT$12,500
So it’s my one year mark & I can still say I’m CC free!!! My breasts are super soft & has a natural /slope hang to them! I know this sounds silly but I’ve always wanted that natural slope & hated how my old BAs looked like two balls bolted on my chest (not knocking the women/men that like that look but it’s just not my cup of tea). Now no one can tell my breasts are fake unless I tell them & they are always so impressed/surprised then asking for my doctor’s name!
I’ve stopped taking the serrapeptase maybe 3 months ago and haven’t ordered anymore. Not doing massages because I have textured gummies but I do move them around from time to time. I’ve been going back to lifting weights again, still not anything over 45 lbs but getting there. Since this whole quarantine I’ve only been using band workouts & no pains in my chest thus far!
Not sure what is different this time around but I’m still CC free!! Shocking and I honestly thought this day would never come! So there’s hope for you ladies who are suffering from CC or worried you might be developing CC. I had 4 surgeries total to fix my breasts, 5 if you count the hematoma emergency surgery! And I’m CC free thus far at one year! Some doctors say your chance of CC increases with each surgery to correct the CC but hey, so far so good for me. I know CC can develop anytime but I’m so elated since my CC has always returned at around 3-6 months with my prior BAs!
For those of you who are about to undergo another surgery to fix your CC: try not to stress!! I know easier said than done but before this surgery I was so over this whole ordeal & drained that this time I just went along with the flow & trusted the process. I did not stress as much as I did like with my prior BAs & learned to accept my body with CC or not. I think stress is sooo damaging to our body, especially when we are trying to heal from a big surgery & could have such a negative impact on our outcome.
Anyways, I wish you all the best & Im so thankful for all the encouraging messages/comments! Please feel free to message me about anything! I might do a 2 year update, so until then I hope you beauties are staying safe & well (emotionally & physically) during this pandemic!

How much serrapeptase were you taking? I'm going to give that a try.
Hi Can you tell me what your doctor did exactly? Did he remove the entire capsule ?

7 months and breasts still soft

I don’t think my breasts will ever be symmetrical but they are still soft and feel like real breasts so I’m very thankful for that! Haven’t been taking the Serrapeptase consistently since I’ve been running low. I’m kind of debating if I should continue it but I’m afraid if I stop I might develop CC again :(

Serrapeptase

I haven’t taken any new pics but both my breasts are still soft and my left breast is almost as soft as my right! Yasssss. I’m still taking the Serrapeptase religiously. I’m taking 5 pills of 120,000 spu in the AM on an empty stomach & another 5 pills in the evening (total 10 pills total)! Yesss this is a huuuuuge/mega dose but I’ve worked my way up to it & my body is tolerating it. I’ve tried the lower dose in the past & it didn’t work for me. I’m planning to take the mega dose for a year to prevent any CC from returning. Not sure if it’s the Serrapeptase or my luck but I’m just going to continue what I’m doing because it seems to be working.
I heard some people get really bad diarrhea from Serrapeptase so not sure if the supplement is for everyone.
I’m going to keep updating as I go! Here’s hoping to get to 1 year without CC! :)

I have this problem as well. Did you have any side effects from accolate.
Hi not that I've noticed.
Hi. Are you taking a total dosage of serreptase of 120,000 twice/day? Or is each pill 120,000 totalling 600, 000? I just had revision surgery for cc yesterday. I want to do everything possible to help prevent it again. No more money for more surgeries lol. Do you by it over the counter?
Hi! I'm actually taking 10 pills x 120,000 so total of 1.2 million spu a day. Yes it's a lot but I currently do not have CC, despite having a hematoma! I don't think everyone can tolerate such a high amount like me so maybe start off at a low dose & work your way up? And yes, I buy it on Amazon :) Hope you have a speedy recovery & no more CC!
Thanks so much. Hope all ia well with you
Thanks for posting this... May I ask how your recovery going? Any signs of CC? I am going through the same situation right now... 2nd cc but now in opposite breast. Hope you are doing well.
Hi! No signs of CC thus far! Both breasts are still soft! I'm sorry ur going through this right now! Are you planning to get another surgery?
Not sure what happened..part of my message was cut off.
I am scheduled to have a 3rd surgery in a month from now and really hoping this will be the last.
Ah..that is great news! Gives me hope...
It's sooo frustrating
