Breast Implants: Q&A

Pressure at Base of Breast Implants
Possible bottoming out or capsular contraction after 3 weeks - 5'8,115lbs,32aa w/350cc saline. I've noticed that my right breast is firmer/smaller~main concern is that I feel way more pressure at the base and able to feel implant more along the base (near fold-but not below it) and sides. Is it possible that I'm experiencing caps contr/bottoming out?

3 Weeks Post-Op - Very Early in Healing Process
You are very early in the healing process to really say whether you are developing some CC or bottoming out. Without pictures, it is hard to give you an idea about what is going on. You should discuss this with your surgeon, since you are approaching the 1 month mark. He/she can take a look and give you a better idea. I wouldn't worry, though. You are so early in the healing that you have a fair amount of changes to go on, and it is normal to feel strange and...
