Plastic Surgeon in Maine Recommendations for Treatment of Capsular Contracture

Hi all. I had bilateral mastectomies in 2008 after a diagnosis of bilateral BC. I had implant reconstruction with a successful outcome. However, in the past couple of months, I have noticed capsular contraction on one side. Since my surgery, we have moved to Maine and I need to find a plastic surgeon who is an expert in implant reconstruction to consult. I would be very grateful for any suggestions!

Many thanks!

    Hi Abby,

    I realize this post is old; I am in the exact situation now. I live in ME and wondering if you found a surgeon and if you would recommend him/her?

    Thanks,

    Hi @jmj532!

    @abby11 hasn't been active on the boards since December 2024. You could try sending her a private message to see if she’s still around. She might receive an email notification.

    Hi! I actually ended up going back to my surgeon in MD once it was determined that my insurance up here would cover it. However, if I had stayed in Maine, I would have gone to Theresa White. She is now at Mercy in Portland and got really good reviews/recommendations from women who have used her and also a cosmetic plastic surgeon. The surgeon said that Theresa White was the only surgeon in Maine that she would use for this! Good luck, I hope you find a doc you like and all goes smoothly. If I can be of any more help, please let me know.
