Could I be experiencing capsular contracture 6 months after my breast lift with implants? (photos)

March 18, 2024
Asked By:Private girl in England, United Kingdom

I had surgery with a well known Dr in Turkey that I had researched a lot about. I had a lift with implants placed under the muscle 300cc. At first they looked great, perky and high as I wanted. As the months have gone on I’ve noticed the left one is riding higher and I have a sore lump to the outer mid part of the breast. I also think they may have been placed too close together. My surgeon keeps saying to wait they will settle but I have some pain in the left side. Help?
