Too early for capsular contracture
Your implant position is too high and will not drop by message. Your before pictures would have been helpful to see if you were a good candidate for augmentation only. Your implants do not expand the lower pole of the breast and waiting will not change that. The best option is the reevaluate your before pictures and consider revision ( breast lift in addition to the pocket revision)

As capsular contractures do not occur in the first two weeks after breast augmentation.
The cells that cause capsular contracture do not show up for weeks after a breast augmentation. Firmness of the breast in the perioperative period is a consequence of swelling.

Postop Shape after Breast Augmentation
Although there are no preop photos, it appears to me that a better result could've been achieved with a lift (mastopexy) as well, albeit with more scars and expense. If the implants were subpectoral, it can take a few weeks for them to fall and look less swollen in the upper pole. Hope this helps.

Two weeks post breast augmentation
It looks like your implant are a bit high at two weeks, and it looks like you may have benefited from a lift. Of course preop photos would be nice and an exam in person would be helpful.

Two weeks after surgery, questions regarding your post-op course should be addressed with your surgeon
Only your surgeon knows exactly what you discussed pre-op, and therefore what surgical plan was undertaken. It is extremely important that you discuss your concerns with your surgeon - advice from surgeons who do not know what your desires were pre-op, what exactly was done at surgery, etc. will only serve to damage the relationship between you and your operating surgeon at this point in your post-op course.

Post breast augmentation
Your implants are high and should descend with time and massage. It is too early for a capsule contracture. Discuss massage and possible breast band with your surgeon. Donald R. Nunn MD Atlanta Plastic Surgeon.

Early Capsular Contracture After Breast Augmentation
Thank you for the question and the photos. You are very early on in your post operative course. At this point your tissues are tight and swollen. This may take up to 3 months to resolve. During this time the inflammation in your breasts will decrease slowly, the soft tissues will also stretch and accommodate thus allowing the implants to fall into their desired position.
Continue to follow up with your surgeon and follow their post operative instructions. You may want to inquire about...

Capsule? after Breatst Augmentation
Thanks for your question. It is very normal for the breasts to not look symmetrical after a breast augmentation during the first few months. The muscle is holding the implant high, and has not stretched out. I would contact your PS if you have any concerns.

Implants
Most patients have this appearance for the first 4-6 weeks. It will take 3-4 months for the tissues to stretch and the breasts to appear normal. If one is significantly different than the other, then you should see your surgeon sooner rather than later. Good luck.

Asymmetrical Implants 2 weeks post op?
Hi Rorsalde,
Thank you for your question and photos. Your right implant appears to be higher than the left, and this is not uncommon with sub-muscular augmentations in the early post-operative period. Your surgeon should guide you in massage techniques to improve the appearance and symmetry of the breasts. This is possible over the first few months after surgery.
Best Wishes,
Pablo Prichard, MD
