Is this capsular contracture again? 8 months post op revision.

April 18, 2014
Asked By:ukgirl25

I'm 8 months post op after having a revision due to severe cc (full bilateral capsule removal and lollipop lift due to sagging after breastfeeding). Implants moved from above to below muscle. Surgery results are great, but I'm worried about cc returning. Left breast has always been slightly higher, have noticed it is slightly firmer, is this my muscle tightening? In certain postures my implants feel firm but when I relax my muscle they go very soft. Is this cc? I thought my muscle would relax by now.
