Is a Bump on the Lateral Side Normal After Capsulorhhaphy?
I had a BA revision (saline to silicone, unders) w/ capsulorhhaphy to fix lat shift and lat rippling, R worse than L. Apparently more significant repair was made to the R side. I feel & see a bump now, feels kind of squishy, on the lateral R side. I started feeling it about a week and a half after surgery. (I'm 3 wks out now). What can this be and will it get better? Also, now I see rippling on both sides anteromedially. Can I do anything to make the rippling better/prevent from getting worse?
