I've had a surgery over 7 weeks ago,2nd one,got 400HP in left breast,and 375HP in right one,due to small assymetry.My left breast healed well.Right was difficult,bleeded more,and there was a swelling on the right side of the breast(bottom part below armpit)that was soft at the beginning.When I squeezed it with my hand it felt like some fluid.It hardened with time,after few weeks it's better.I found a swelled vein under right one. 2 weeks post op right breast appeared smaller,and it's still so.
Answer: Capsular breast implant contracture capsulectomy breast implant Dear Violet, Seven weeks is too early to tell if you're developed breast implant capsular contracture. I would suggest you consult with your plastic surgeon. I would suggest breast implant massages twice a day and you may want to try some Singulair. It is true that fluid and hematomas can lead to breast implant capsular contracture. However, swelling and fluid are very common after breast augmentation surgery. Breast swelling usually decreases 6 to 8 weeks after surgery.

CONTACT NOW Answer: 7 weeks post op, Is This Capsular Contracture It's quite early into your healing. Hence, it's not likely you are experiencing capsular contracture. Your #healing will continue for 2-3 months for the early period. This includes some #swelling, bruising, malposition, color differences and sensation will be abnormal. Scars will also be changing and asymmetry is not uncommon as each breast heal at different rates before reaching the final result. The use of #Singulair and Vitamin E may also be of benefit. But, it can be up to one year see your final result. Your doctor may require you to move or massage the implants within the breast pockets during the #postoperative period. (#Textured implants do not require breast massage.) You must have patience as you heal and if there are any causes of concern, ask questions of the doctor or the nursing staff.

Answer: See your surgeon Capsular contracture is when the tissue around your implant tightens, and this is what squeezes the implant to make it feel harder. If you've just recently noticed that your breasts have changed in shape, feel, and how they project from your body, then you're right - you could be developing capsular contracture (while it is early there is still a chance you may have developed it). While you can feel for yourself for any changes that indicate capsular contracture (signs include hardness, swelling, pain, and a rounder, more ball-like shape), please book an appointment with your surgeon who may examine you to see if it actually is. The sooner you do this, the sooner you can be diagnosed and treated. Earlier detection is always better. Treatments for capsular contracture include medications, therapeutic massage and stretching, as well as implant removal/replacement. Good luck!

Answer: Breast Augmentation
This will require an examination and evaluation to determine if there is a contracture or some possible bleeding and tissue density while healing is occurring. Your Board Certified Plastic Surgeon will be of assistance in determining the cause of the tissue difference. You still are healing and will need at least 6 months to make a full assessment of the outcome.

Answer: 7 weeks is too early to diagnose a capsular contracture.
At 7 weeks swelling the breast after augmentation might make the breasts appear to be suffering from capsular contracture. Whereas the capsule that forms around all implants is visible after a few days, capsular contracture usually does not emerge for several months at the earliest.
