See Surgeon.: If i understand your situation correctly you have developed breast implant encapsulation (capsular contracture) after augmentation surgery. Early on, this condition can be treated with combination of massage, anti-inflammatory medications, and/or ultrasound therapy. Best to be evaluated by your plastic surgeon, who after his examination, will be able to provide you with better advice. Best wishes.

Capsular Contracture: Early capsular contracture can be treated with massage or ultrasound. Various oral regimes have been tried with only anecdotal success. Once established, the only predictable treatment is surgical. More info here: http://www.Sanfranciscobreast.Com/breast-implant-capsular-contracture.Html.

Capsular contracture: Treatment depends on type of implant (silicone vs saline) under or over the muscle positioning, presence of rupture, and many other factors. For recurrent contracture, removals with/without fat grafting may be an option. If implants are desired, changing the content, surface texture or pocket with capsulotomy, capsulectomy, acellular dermal matrix implant or neopectoral pocket are a few of options.

While there are : Some oral medications that you can try (like singulair (montelukast) or papverine), these don't work in all cases, especially if the capsule is advanced and really firm.
