capsulate contracture twice advice

Hi has anyone had capsulate more than once. I had it in my right breast after 10months I hade it re-done now 6 years later I have now been told I have it in both breast! I have been advised to have my implants placed under the muscle but I am now wondering if to have them removed all together! Any advice appreciated.

Hello!

Ouch, poor poor you 🙁 I haven’t got any advice (sorry I know that is zero help) but if you don’t mind me asking, how do you know that capsular contraction is happening? What kind of pains do you experience? Thankyou in advance if you reply,

Really hope your okay!

Hi Christine,

My right breast was so sore and it moved overnight sitting higher than the left and went hard I could not lift my right arm up. I went to see the surgeon and he booked me in for revision 3 weeks later. This time it has happened gradually but left breast is sitting higher than my right. Both are hard to touch struggling at the gym cannot lie on my stomach.
Thanks for responding Christine new to this forum.

Hi I’ve not had my op yet but when the surgeon (not MYA) was telling me about risks & complications, he did say to me that if you get cc then have replacement that you’re likely to get it again. He said they don’t know why certain people get it but that if it happens once, it’s likely to happen twice.
Now I’m no surgeon and i haven’t really researched cc too much but it did stick in my mind did this.
Sorry that’s not much help, just came to my mind when I read your post.
Hope you get sorted, would be a shame to have to expant. However our bodies are sometimes in control no matter how well we look after them. Hope you get advice & get sorted x

Quick search on realself.com brought up a few answers. One of them….

When do you get diagnosed with this ? I am only 4 days post op but had a large lump in one breast as soon as I woke up from surgery sitting really high near my arm out hard and swolen a lot more of a bump and painful feels like cramp in one side scared it’s a stuck implant 🙁 any advise ???

Thanks for the information Sarah seeing Mr Taynor on 4th December and will make my decision then. I have been advised by another surgeon to move the pocket to under the muscle which with stimulate the implant. In response to anonymous you are only 4 days post op your breasts will be sore and sit high. Think positive its very early days for you and normal to feel bumps.
