Very Early Capsular Contracture (3.5 Weeks Post-op)? (photo)

I am 3.5 weeks post op (255 cc polyurethane, silicone implant, subglandular, areolar) and thought it would be a good idea to start sleeping on my side, but as soon as I try moving my body to the side (either side) I feel a combination of sharp and dull pain in my right breast. The pain subsides within a min or so, and then comes back again as soon as I try to move again. Massaging my right breast, and lifting my right arm and bringing it down also produces a dull pain (and at times sharp pain).

Thanks for the posted photos. You might be starting CC but you MUST massage! Best to return to your operative surgeon to discuss.

Early breast augmentation result

At 3.5 weeks after breast augmentation, you may experience different sensations when pushing on your breasts. These in all likelihood are a normal part of healing. Usually this gets better with time. If it does not, then you shoudl see your doctor.
