Capsular Contracture

Hi Girls,

I’m currently 2 weeks PO and I’m really beginning to panic about the likelihood of developing capsular contracture :/. I’m such a worrier :(.

Does anybody know how likely it is that this will happen? I have been looking on the internet quite a bit but there’s mixed reviews and sometimes I don’t think looking on the internet helps at all. It just scares you!! There’s never anything positive, always worst case scenario and its a bit scary to me. xx

No idea on likelihood, but it’s more common with overs I believe (which I have). But I wouldn’t waste time worrying about it unless it happens. If it happens then it happens and worrying won’t help 🙂 and it’s easily fixed with a re op x

I think it takes longer than 2 weeks for a capsule to form around your implant so try not to worry for now and see what they say at your 6 week check xx

Yeah I suppose you’re both right. No point worrying myself :). Thank you xx @jodiec @lyndseyp27

I think it usually happens 3-6 months post op. Not sure on the likelihood but I know it’s not very common xx

Ahhh ok thank you kirsty xx

Hey chick it only happens moths after your op I’ve had for the 2nd time now xx

I’m such a worrier too and all these little things make me panic so much. i just want them done and to have no problems but seems most ppl seem to be experiences little hiccups lately. As i have 32aaa i think il be happy with any kind of result to be honest but just don’t want any complications.. (but thats obv the risk you have to take) xx

Ok, thank you @courts78, how were you able to tell that you had it? and how long after your op did it happen for the first time?

Yeah I’m the same @ellie2015, but like you said I suppose it is a risk you have to take. I’m definitely glad I’ve had them done, without a doubt. It just still worries me quite a lot that there is a possibility I may develop complications :(. I suppose I will just have to take it as it comes and hope for the best 🙂 xx

I’ve just found I’ve got it again ?? it’s just feels very hard likes there is ball in there xx

Lol I’ve got for the 4th now so that’s anther op on cards also my implant on the left side is flipping over so the eles wear Have been good to me and are sorting out xx

Aww you seem so clam about it which is so good. 4th time though can’t imagine all what you’ve been through! That’s good they are sorting it all out for you keep us updated xx

It’s freaking me out as well cause am a worrier too ? Are you covered for it? X

I’m covered for it yes thank god yes I’m ok about it I’ve had most of problems on list on now so I’m use it but makes a difference knowing that you got the back up on cover xx
