Some surgeons believe that the asthma medicines Accolate and Singulair help reduce the inflammation in capsular contracture and they prescribe it to all their patients after surgery. Most surgeons do not do this. Those that do will say that their capsular contracture rates seem to be lower since they have used it or that they have had patients with early contracture get better with it. Naysayers argue that the evidence is scant that it really does anything, that many of the what-seem-to-be early contractures get better on their own anyhow, and that the drugs have serious side effects. But in any case, no surgeon should be criticized for not prescribing these drugs; most don’t, and the evidence to support their use is weak.
