Hard breast after surgery

There are a number of things that could cause your breast to be hard at this stage. You should return to your plastic surgeon, and get checked over. It may be from swelling, muscle spasm, fluid around the implant, capsule, or a number of other factors - and a clinical exam is needed to figure it out.

Capsular Contracture?

Thank you for the question. Unfortunately it is not possible to make an accurate diagnosis or to give you good advice without examination. I would suggest continued follow with your plastic surgeon. Best wishes.

Early capsule contracture?

It's really hard to tell whether you have an early capsule contracture without examining you. it might just be some muscle spasm or swelling. Discuss with your surgeon.
