Capsular Contracture? Why Does One Breast Feel Tight/Hard?

I had BA 09 May 2012-550ccs smooth under muscle.I had no pain-just uncomforatable.I am right handed.My left breast was more swollen than right, so much that I thought 2 different sizes were used-which is not the case.Swelling gone,but left breast still tight&hard-feels like the muscle contracting.My PS does not recommend massage.I did massage lightly,but hurts if done on left,hurst incision as well.Could it be CC/hematoma?
