Hi I have Capsular Contracture.
Went to see a plastic surgeon feb/mar told need it removed then the implant removed too. Will need damaged skin removed and DIEP from my back and new implant . He also needs to lift other breast and small implant put in. Unfortunately due to him having a long waiting list it was gonna be a year plus. Although due to the Covid-19 it will be a lot longer. I have had to get extra painkillers and it's also very hard and uncomfortable . Has anybody had this done? Was it a success , healing time or have regrets?
Sorry for the long rant but, this is all getting to me both physically and mentally.
Thank you in advance. Best wishes to you all x
