    Default Anyone have surgery to correct capsular contracture, and it never came back?

    Just had the full capsulectomy yesterday, and YEEEEOOOOW my tittay! Definitely hurts way worse than the BA did. Thank the lawd it's just the one side this time. The doc explained to me that once you have CC, your chances of it occurring again are huge-- 50% higher than someone who has never had it. He has agreed to let me start taking vitamin E & Singulair, in a few weeks. But, he says, their effectiveness in preventing CC is "anecdotal".
    I've read and heard tons of stories of ladies with repeat cases of CC... but haven't heard or read *any* success stories. Please tell me there are some?
    Have any of you had CC treated and it never came back, like years later? I need some hope here.

    Wow. Glad I put my surgery off til dec. My capsulation is slight and came on 8 years after but I don't wanna go through recovery like that and worry something else might happen when they look no different. DAMN!

    It may not benefit you to go through the surgery- mine was phase 2-3. It wasn't hard yet, but was way higher than the other side, and was starting to hurt. It was getting worse rapidly, too... like noticeably, within weeks. Surgery was pretty much mandatory. It does look way better now, though... dare I say, even better than the 1st time around?
    I feel much better today, too.

    Aaaah, thank you so much! I am going to be vigilant with the massage, and whatever else he prescribes. Good to know at least *someone* never had it again!

    I guess, when I made the decision to have mine done, I did so based on the glowing recommendations of a couple of ladies I know who have had theirs for 10-20 years, without a glitch. Holding out hope that I will grow up to be just like one of them...
