    Default Herbs / Supplements To Prevent Capsular Contracture & Promote Healing After BA

    Did any of you take any herbs or supplements to help prevent capsular contracture & promote healing before/after your implants? Which ones did you take? What was your experience?

    Basically, I'm just scared because I've had liquid/gel silicone injected into my lips (YES big mistake I know, but it was done by a dermatologist) and it ended up causing capsular contracture in a few areas (I had those areas burned & reconstructed by a reconstructive surgeon) with just the amount of a teaspoon... So although I'm opting for saline implants, my previous experience combined with the fact that I have a lot of autoimmune issues makes me really worried that I'm very prone to CC so I want to do everything I can to prevent it.

    Right now I'm looking into purchasing b.i.Secret (). I've heard good things about vitamin E and milk thistle. I'm also pretty sure I want to take arnica before/after the BA as well, along with being very diligent about eating an anti-inflammatory diet.


    Experiences?

    There arent any supplements that are proven to help with CC, but may prevent it. When I got my BA I did some research and found the Vitamin E helps in preventing it since it makes the tissue softer somehow. Massaging the area may prevent it, but each body is different and will react to CC whether or not you have been trying to prevent it.

    Did you take vitamin E supplements (slow+ingest) or did you put vitamin E oil directly on your breasts? Or both?

    ^ Dont take any of these 2 weeks prior and after of a BA as they are blood thinners! That includes Vitamin E, C, Advil, Mortin, Tylenol, Garlic, Green tea supplements (there's a few more).

    Also not sure if any studies have proven this but I believe smoking is really bad... It's horrible for healing and for skin in general so if u smoke I'd try quitting.
