Has anyone else had this problem it really
hurts I have to wait a few more weeks and
mr singh will take it out I don’t think they really
talk about this problem at the clinic
It happens and when u sign the papers, It is listed in the risks…
It’s a common thing, I’m sure if u did ur research you would be familiar about it.
I’m sorry it happened to you.
I think it’s how your body reacted to implants and is somehow rejecting it. Sometimes when it happens there is no pain but other things happen like hardening of the breast.
It’s not the surgeons fault. Just one the risks you sign on when you under go ba.
i had CC but it happened after 3 & 1/2 years…it can happen at any time and is the most common problem with implants. I just underwent my second BA with CC removal and it could happen again…..I have already started saving for the next BA cos I will need al least another 2, possibly up to 5 in my life time (i am 25).
Maxine – I’m 25 too! Why would u need 2/5 more ba’s???
I worry about cc all the time & I’m sorry to hear it’s happened to you both!!

im so sorry to hear its happened to you i worry too about cc all the time im having mine done with the natrelle range with harley …you get Full and comprehensive cover for Capsular Contracture for breast augmentation patients – if your surgeon identifies encapsulation within 6 years of your initial operation (the longest cover in the industry) you are covered for hospital, surgeon, anaesthetist, implant and most importantly post operative care but i still worry that i will be the one to get it fingers crossed x
kirsties – im 25 to and will prob need another 2 ba’s in the furture. after children/breast feeding so 10-15 yrs time. then again 45-55 yrs old as ur body will change so much x
I’m just glad I’m not the only one after my BA my left breast was
always swollen that’s how I lefted the hospital I was up and down
at the clinic getting it checked I just want it out now and fixed
hurry up 20th April
Suger, MYA give a lifetime guarantee on certain implants of theirs. x
sorry to hear you have cc funtimes
unfortunately it happens but at least it can be sorted out, good luck for you re-op hun x
Does anyone know what sort of cover MYA give? I really don’t know half the things i should know and my op is in two weeks!
Funtimes did you have the first op with MYA? Are they paying for you to have it corrected or are you having to pay? xx
mya has 5 years aftercare harley has 6 years aftercare for capsular contracture if you go to a compare site cosmeticcompare.com it will give you a list of the editor’s pick of the best with cost and aftercare if this helps hun x
Yeh, I need to look at their cover policy agian, coz have forgotten. It’s 3 years for something and 5 years for something else. Are you sure it’s 5 years for CC? xx
I had my ba 10 dec 2010 with mya at highgate hospaital it’s my
first ba my breast were a 34b and now a 34dd I don’t have to pay
for the surgery
sorry to hear about the cc hun but atleast ur having surgery to correct it – i hope all goes well for you xxx
Hi all
MYA offer 5 years UNLIMITED cover for Capsular Contraction. For more information please feel free to call your PC or nurse.
Hope this helps!
What MYA mean is that they will continue to replace if CC continues to happen, they don’t limit to just one replacement as some companies do
How common is cc and is it more common unders/overs/larger sizes? I don’t know much about it and don’t tend to worry/think bout these things but this has made me worry a little X
CC is more common with overs than unders, not sure why, don’t think the size has any affect on it.
For more info go to

According to medical reports cc is increased if you have a smooth implant rather than textured, if you have a really large implant,and if you go over the muscle.
It is therefore less likely if you have textured implants, or cohesive gel implants (as body responds better to the firmer implant but downside is they feel firmer to touch), smaller implants.
MYA states about 4% of patients or something really really low like that get CC, everybody responds differently and it depends whether your body “rejects” the implant because it recognises that it is a foreign object. You really don’t need to worry too much just keep a close eye on your implants are for sudden hardening, coupled with pain. If you did get it MYA would take it out and replace it xx
Also, if you have smooth implants you are advised to regularly massage your breasts to prevent cc.
However if you textured implants you are advised NOT to massage them, as the textured surface is supposed to adhere/stay in that particular area inside your body and massaging it would disslodge it and could aggravate cc.
Hope that helps xxx
They also say saline is less likely to cause cc compared to silicone.
On the other hand, texture implants has more chance of rippling/wrinkling than smooth…
Haha.. U just don’t win..
Bloody hell you can’t win can you, I suppose it’s just bad luck if it happens Isnt it! Does mya cover all implants for cc? I know I’ll be having high profile overs and either 410s or 460s but I don’t know which actual implant X
Yes they do Hunn. I’m so sorry to hear that you have it funtimes but I’m glad your getting it sorted soon and for free
xx
